Hey everyone, I just want to inform you about the largest pro session of the season that is going down at Sunday River from March 30 - April 2, 2002. Join top riders, photographers (Jeff Winterton, Freeskier Magazine), Filmmakers (Josh Berman from Second Generation and Balance) to session the best parks and pipes in the East.

Come rip the 22 foot high quarterpipe, the 22 foot high, 400 foot long 65 foot wide halfpipe, the 50 foot pro jump, the 80 foot showtime booter and the nastiest rails around. Come ride with Andy Woods, Mike Nick, Ben Grunow, Phil Larose, Dave Chrichton and Phil Belanger as well as the rest of the Sunday River Freeride Team. Here are some of the latest pics from the park at the river.





See you guys there.

Ooh yeah, just a side note... If any of you are going to be up for it during one of the days, have any questions or anything like that, just reply to this message. It would be sweet to get in some runs with some pros and other ns.com members.

I'll be up there with my friends that thursday for the weekend. Those jumps look perfect, almost like a untouched pow run. They look insane.

why do you call a hexagon a tanker rail?

Is it just me, or does that pipe look awfully short for its width?? Look at the size of the riders!!

Ooh, yeah... Just an update. The river got about 17-20 inches of new snow in the past 2 days this week and has the most terrain in the East...

I was just at Sunday River on Tuesday and Wednesday and they did get a shitload of snow but the Pipe is horrible. The thing is all ice. You would have more luck riding it with some hockey skates. The parks are dope though. Jumps are well taken care of and the rails are nice.

Where did you find it?
I don't know. I was too excited. We're in the Lesbian stronghold

There has been great talk of those pros not even knowing about this event from the sunday river board...and i dont ever remember seeing anyone directly from sunday river saying those pros were coming. However, I do know you work for sunday river in some way, so maybe you know what is really going on.
Also...that '80 footer' has like a 40 foot table...and its normally closed if it not in the 40's...

No shit the pipe was in rough shape, it went threw a thaw! The deck on the pro jump can be shifted back to 80 feet. The 80 footer will be created before the showdown, ski patrol would NEVER allow a jump that large.

The pro's do know about it, don't pay attention to the posts in the Sunday River chat room unless they come from myself (OZSkier) or the screne name SundayRiver. The only people in that room that make official statements are ranked ZEN MASTERS...
