Session 4 FDOH (First Day On Hill) started out hot with a Windells Academy Reunion and jump session. Windells Academy Alums Alex Hackel and ABM linked up and headed to session the Big Jump for "old time sake". Head Coach Wynn Berns caught wind of the session and couldn’t resist brining the Academy Students up to session with some Alums. Needless to say the jump session went off! With all these young bucks going hard, OG Tanner Hall got inspired and joined in on the jump session. Tanner Hall put his first Switch Dub 10 to his feet before washing out in the landing, at age 33 none the less so much respect Ski Boss! Corey Jackson finally made it to camp he was itching to get after it; blasting transfers and gaps that would even make Crazy Karl drool.
With the most diverse group of Takeover Pro’s we have seen all summer the bangers kept coming all week. Backcountry Boss Lucas Wachs couldn’t get enough of blasting side hits and Quarter Pipes. McRae Williams played it cool all week while destroying the park, after mid day rake of course. Ethan Swadburg moved up BIG TIME in the freeskiing world, from Coach to Takeover Pro! Ethan took that title to heart ripping all week jump, rails you name it; to be honest we didn’t see him fall once all session.

However, out of all the Session 4 Takeover Pro’s Khai Krepela had the hottest week of all. Why you ask, well we hosted the Inaugural Khai Krepela's Summer Classic!

“I want this event as loose as possible, I don’t care what you do just go ski until people stop” said Khai at the Riders Meeting. No AFP Points, No free car, No time on Live TV but rather a chance to snag a third of the $1500 prize purse courtesy of Saga Outerwear, Spy Optic and Phunkshun. “It’s truly amazing what people will do for a crack at $500” said Khai after watching Jonah Williams blast a massive 450 disaster. Khai Krepela’s Summer Classic was more than a contest; it was a reunion bringing together skiers from all realms of the Freeskiing world. When was the last time you watched World Champion McRae Williams session a rail alongside Backcountry Boss Lucas Wachs, The Low Key Killa Alex Hackel and Rail Overlord Forster Meeks? Put these skiers, plus a handful of other familiar faces such as Jake Carney, Jarrad McCarl, Pete Arneson, Wabs, Jonna Elston, and ABM you're fixing for up a melting pot of good vibes and progression (Watch full Khai Krepela Summer Classic Recap Edit Here)
