Pretty sure it snowed so much the whole time that all of the big features were unhit due to speed issues

It looked awesome. Sick snow and features. But then again this is coming from an Eastcoaster.

the features actually were pretty sizable, the videos make them look a lot smaller than they were, it was crazy fun too

Public day was out of control, the bottom step - up definitely had some size to it.

Coverage has been pretty weak though, I will admit that.

The people behind WCS are hard at work on our final coverage, with pics and video that may change your mind a bit.

No joke though, due to weather and location constraints we didn't have a standout feature as big as last year's booter at Timberline. However, I think we made up for it with sessions in parks at three different resorts, and a few BC missions you've heard nothing about yet.

And of course, WCS as an event isn't about huge, death-defying stunts- it's about having fun with your buddies on skis. In particular I think we managed to pull that one off quite well.
