ahhh sounds fun! I'll come by if I'm not too tired from the drive.

And be nice Aaron, whitetail is my home resort! haha I know where you're coming from about the rail jams, but Under the Sun is a sick shop and they definitely step it up compared to the other comps. In the past, they have given away sweet ski and board setups as prizes. Sorry about your previous experience with the early season jam, sounds like a disaster.. hope this one is better for whoever comes out to compete!

why would anyone come to a jam where the competitors are guaranteed to receive partial judging?

long story short, the judges play the favorite game and also know nothing about the nuances of different ski and snowboard tricks. if you compete at whitetail, you aren't gonna be judged fairly, so why even go?

I haven't been back east for a while so I'm not exactly sure how they are running things this year, but i'm guessing that there will be age divisions this time since there is a shop sponsor. probably judges from the shop instead of the resort too

that is a much better way to do it but the thing is, no one is gonna show up.. there might be 4 or 5 skiers.. they can't do more than one ski division if there are only a scant handful of skiers..

and skoalsteeze, he was a 10 year old. he has beaten my friend derrick, who slays, twice now, once because they gave him an age handicap, and the second time for some reason i really can't figure out.


for real.. if you're a ten year old competing against an 18 year old, you're more than likely gonna lose.. that's just the way life works, why give a handicap?
