Nike ACG Team Blog : News from the snowbard team

We are over in Copper Mountain now for the US Freeskiing Open and it is fecking freezing. On Tuesday we went up to check out the course and were not to impressed, it had snowed the day before however the jumps were shaped pretty badly and the rail set up was a bit sketchy. the organisers have tried to do some work on the course however Andreas is considering not riding to avoid injury, Thomas is stoked as it means he has a better chance of winning.

As it was slopestyle qualification yesterday, Thomas, Roy, Andreas and myself headed over to Keystone, the park there is sick, so good in fact that I even hit the jumps which doesnt happen very much these days. The resort was open until 9pm so we got to do some night riding under the lights which was pretty cool and very cold. 

Mirjam headed over to SIA in Vegas and only got 2 hours sleep, she arrived back in Copper last night and seemed to have had a great time.

Today was the second qualification day for slopestyle and Roy was riding this morning, not seen the results yet but hopefully he got through, unfortunately Paddy didnt make the cut yesterday but hopefully he has more luck in the pipe.
