Mammoth Quest

So I headed down to Mammoth this week to compete in the first ever Freeride World Tour Qualifier. Luckily I was able to be prequalified for the event and could skip the open event the day before. I would like to give a big shout out to Willie Schnieder for winning the open event and shredding heavy all weekend. I was able to sneak my way all the way to finals, but had a hard time staying on my feet in my finals run, and ended up tenth overall. Great skiing was seen from all the competitors, I don't think I have ever seen that many people stick big flat landings in my life.

I took BioBob down to Mammoth, but unfortunately due to the lack of civilization in interior Nevada (a.k.a. the middle of nowhere), we could only fill up on B20 in Salt Lake. Both the truck an myself were not excited to have to put the stinky stuff in the tank, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

Here is the one shot of myself I was able to poach online from www.mammothsnowman.com, with a big shout out to that guy for killing coverage of the event. You can see video from the whole event at his site, and results are available at www.freerideworldtour.com. Overall, Mammoth is a pretty cool spot, but I am happy to be back good old Utah.
