This one is a horrible picture. I screwed up a lot cuz it was my first day. I wish they took a better picture.

At least I got 1st, 2nd, and third.

I missed the prize giveaway. but today at the shop that was sponsering it said that at the rail jam there was only one skier and I told them That was me. So the guy who was there said "yup thats him" They gave me the leftovers of what was left. Because At the jam everyone got one shirt, 5 stickers, and wax.

Now times that by 3 plus googles.

Nice bro. Yeah it sounds like our mountain. Honestly there was me, two freeskiers off of NS, and another 3 which we only saw once or twice and they where doing groomers only.

I was a straight rail, big box, a rainbow, and a shitty box.

I did not slide the box straight though.
The picture is horrible.

My best trick was a 270 blunt to box 90 off. I landed it so well. It was my first day skiing so it was my best trick.

And yes I won free shit. but I Threw some tricks that got me some respect.
