Let The Games Begin

The 09/10 ski season has kicked off out west, but here back east we are behind like most seasons. With the first stop of The DEW TOUR this weekend at Breckenridge, I figured it's time to expose the list of names to watch out for this season in Super Pipe and SlopeStyle comps.

JP Solberg
JP is finally healthy this season, so Super Pipe contest just became even more fun because of that. He brings great style, large amplitude and some doubles in the pipe.



Tosh Peters & Max Peters (In the clip Max & Tosh's names are mixed up)
The brothers from Park City each have rather large bags of moves. Both should be in the hunt for this season when it comes to SlopeStyle comps.


McRae Williams
Watch out for this rather tall dude. He has a ton of style and the right moves to get a win this season.

Sean Jordan

This kid's name started to pop up alot at the end of last season. He's got great style plus he's from the east coast!

Rails 2 Riches Pics

What a fun little Saturday that Dane and I had last week at Killington. Rails 2 Riches is one of the best early season comps on the east coast. Here are some pics I took of the event. Great job by LJ for the win, who killed each rail Killington set up for the comp.

Headed to Killington Saturday for Rail 2 Riches. It's a totally stacked field of skiers and will make for the best rail jam of the month on the east coast. I will post a full recap Sunday evening when I return! Have a great weekend everyone and go skiing!
