Heavenly had a great day for this event, great skiiers, great snowboarders….Check out the action as Shoreline of Tahoe’s follow cam catches all the action.

This is the superhero Ski Pole. Check out the features on this innovative pole. Skis have changed in the last few years, its now time for poles to catch up with the new skis. Leki poles have always been the leader in pole design. Leki is all about skiing when a new style of skiing comes about, Leki is there to improve the poles to suit the new type of skiing. Downhill racer, Slalom, Moguls, Park, Freeride, freestyle, and even Ballet skiing Leki makes poles that fit the style of skiing you want to do.

He can pick out angles, and views that most people mis. This is a great video, enjoy and look out for more vids from Adam Kingman.

It’s been 3 years since Shoreline has won this event, its a great event to end the season, may-be next year will be the year the Shoreline’s team takes back the title. Congratulations to Porters for a job well done.  So God willing next year Shoreline will be there to fight for the title.

I am writing from Winter Park, CO. We are competing here tomorrow and Friday in U.S. Freestyle Team Selections. Men’s qualification starts Wednesday and Friday at 12:15 PM Mountain Time (2:15 PM East Coast and 11:15 AM West Coast). Men’s finals is scheduled to start at 2:45 PM but that is subject to change based on how the event runs. There is going to be a run order on the website so it will you should be able to tell who is going and when I go. I will be running 40th in the run order and I will be wearing bib #67.

I am very excited to compete. Training has been going well and everything is coming together. The top two overall finishers from the two day event will get U.S. C Team spots. The top overall finisher from the two days will also get to ski the American World Cups inDeer Valley, UT and Lake Placid, NY. Thank you for your love and support. I will let you know how the week goes.
