We should have a contest.

Who can come up with the best/most creative jib of the season. Has to have video, and a skier must hit it. However I don't think it should matter on the trick they do on it. This will make it more of a jib contest then a skiing contest. I was thinking maybe from now to say may first? Maybe make this a sticky and just post the links to the vids all year. Then we can have a vote at the end.
Tell me what you think. and suppose I could provide a reward for the winner.

bumpage for a question: does it have to be something we actually make? Like if I had a cool way to jib my air conditioner, would that be something you could enter?

No it would have to be a vid, we need to see some one complete the jib. Pics are to easy to pose.

^nice. i think I will start a new thread for the contest soon. Maybe we should advertise the comp in Ski gabber as well? Would be handy if I were a leader.

I don't think ski gab is a good idea maybe post the top 3

Ok. as far as the contest goes, I say that it is only open to cult members. It is the most creative/unique jib like you said, not based on skier ability, but a skier has to hit it. Video OR a picture must document this. Multiple entries are allowed per person, and the best will be picked by whoever at the end of the year, or maybe voted on by the participants themselves

I've got something cooking, but its a huge snow requirement. I'll give you a hint, when I'm done, I can drive the jib away and park it.

Sorry man, I have 6" of sugar to work with right now, I have a waist high pile for the kicker, it needs to be 6 feet, and I've exhausted all my snow resources. Its gonna have to wait.
