I think the top section was closed for much of the event, so I don't actually think anyone hit it.

I don't think thats possible, considering how it is made - it would throw you out after one loop

i hope you were joking, because going around the loop twice before getting out wouldn't be possible. Anybody know of any clips or pictures of someone making it all the way around, or at least trying?

I would hope people hit and slayed the loop. I mean let's be serious here, people have hit loops made of hard wood on skateboards and bikes and shit, how hard could a snow one be on skis? Not claiming that I'd shred it, but if you call yourself a pro skier I think you should be able to sack up and hit a loop, eh? maybe it's more sketch in real life, but let's be real... skateboards aren't even stuck to your feet! now that's sketch.
