I woke up at 7:30 ready to ride today. It took us a while to get the crew together. We headed to tyler’s for some breakfast, where we even able to set off the smoke detector while cooking. After some tasty pancakes, we then packed up and headed up to Powder Mountain. The place was amazing. It was on top of a smaller mountain, with some huge mountains surrounding it, making for quite a view.
It was time to register for the event. Then we packed up the cat with all our gear. We got to strap in to our boards and cruised down the cat track to a t-bar, and then over to the event location. The first thing out of the truck, were the new Liquid Force Prototype kite snowboards made in help by Sheldon Decosse.
We set up all the Liquid Force tents and kites. The wind was nowhere to be found. It was time to get some turns in, so a small crew of us headed for some runs in the park. Jason, Dave, Jake, Petter, Arla, Llew and Christy. It was fun to shred with everyone, since everyone could actually ride, we were bombing through the runs. They have a great park out there with some insanely fun boxes and jumps.
After a couple more runs, we headed back to the event, and there was still no wind to be found. Tekko then got out the Grinch Winch, and we set up a rail and sessioned it for a bit, while the photo posse took a bunch of shots. Everyone pretty much gave up on the wind possibility and packed up and went home while our crew hung a round for a bit riding.
After stopping at nearly 4 restaurants to find some drinks and appetizers, we finally found a place to let us in. The Mexican food was pretty good and we were off to the opening party at Burskis in Ogden. They has a best model search contest there. It was pretty bad not so good; we were in there for about 15 minutes and called it a night and drove back up to Eden.
