The Catskill Mountain Series will be hosting the Jason Evans / Bob Basil Boardercross & Skiercross Camp on March 13, 2010 at Windham Mountain.
Check out the Catskill Mountain Series final Halfpipe competition of the 2009/2010 season. We saw excellent runs all across the age categories and the Hunter Mountain park staff provided us with a pipe that was in great shape and fun to ride. There were a few battles to be fought to determine first place qualifiers and we saw some great amplitude as well as rotation skills. This event completes the CMS freestyle events and we wish our National qualifiers good luck at Copper Mountain in early April.
Yet another cold couple of days on the hill with a fun and busy BX/SX at Windham Mountain and a windy next day at Catamount for a Giant Slalom and a Halfpipe competition. Nevertheless, CMS made the best of it and Catamount did a great job improving their pipe for us despite the warm spell a couple of weeks ago.
Saturday - Belleayre Slalom:
It was -6 degrees at the house when we left and it rose to a high of -4 degrees on this brisk Saturday morning. We were greeted by Ski Patrol and a snowmobile with trailer in tow at 7:30 and started up the hill for what would turn out to be a great day of competitions. After a series of small obstacles during set-up of the Slalom course, the event team was able to have both venues (Slalom & Slopestyle) set and ready in time for inspection. Once the mountain race crew set up timing, it was on.
