I was up there a week ago and they were blowing alot of snow on Airglow didnt know why. I guess this is the answer.

And its a closed shoot. kinda lame but still sweet

"Private shoot. Many reasons... Safety, shoot could go past 4:00 PM, they don't want your ugly mug in the shot.
You'll see the pictures in print and the video in September. "

or so they can photoshop it...

definitely something sunday river would do.. put together some huge private shoot like they did for heat harvest instead of caring about their public parks.

^totally agree with Sean on this one. Only reason they are doing it is to get their name in a movie. With his luck he's only going 15 feet out because they won't build it right.

but think with a big ass mound of snow like that they'll probably convert it into a giant steup jump like they did 2 or 3 years ago.

Snow park technologies is building it. i highly doubt they would fuck it up, although the weather in maine in april could suck.

this should be interesting. Simon is the half-pipe hight god, so I don't see a problem with him making this unless he gets hurt or the QP is bad.

naw, he won't beat him, but he will still get the title because he will hit it from left to right. it's more technical.

Did you read the thread? For skiers Candide has the record, but Simon is breaking the WORLD record which as I stated earlier in the thread is held by Terje.
