the jumps were super tiny. the snow was really really slow. it was hard to see. that video didn't show the winning runs, just a few people. it was a fun comp though

that was probably the worst video ive seen in a long time. to have that represent a sport i love as college nationals looks like a joke.

give it some time. this was the first year it happened. i'm sure as more students hear about it, it'll get better.

It wasn't publicized that well so not many comp skiers showed up, and it probably should have been held on the EC so all the academy kids could have gone. And the weather sucked. That said, at least there's great video of it. haha

wow that was such garbage, the rails were ok, nothing to write home about and the jumps were just horrifying to watch.

did anyone notice i think it was the second to last dude who came in switch to one of the jumps and it looked like he almost was gonna fall right before the lip. haha made me chuckle a little

I thought the same thing speed must have been a big issue because they did pretty well with 270 and 270 lips on the rail and then the jumps just sucked

northstars jumps sucked all year, target landings, little to zero speed, and the lips were inconsistent everyday

looks like it was more the course that sucked than the skier.

Cause the first rails looked smooth. But then they were doing staight airs.
