Hot Dawgs and Handrails Snowboard Contest Bear Mountain 2008

Here is a couple of highlights from the contest at Bear Mountain yesterday. I was up there all day shooting, and got a ton of shots to break in my new camera. I thought i would post a few for everyone to check out. They hauled in something like 100 tons of snow for the event and just blew it out of huge hose. It takes a few hours to cover everything and then melts quickly. A pretty expensive deal, but it draws in alot of people, and the prize purse was $12,ooo!!!
Everything went smooth and nobody had to get hauled away from injury, but there was plenty of crashing as well as some crazy tricks being stomped. The highlight had to be the double backflip that was thrown (the shot below with the hat falling off).

Other than that, it was a beautiful day at Bear and it felt good to see some snow. I am definately looking foward to the season, I will be hitting some more contests, and shooting some more of the team. kids from powder and sun ride shop..
