It's been a while since I've posted, but it's really because I haven't been doin' much. I've been skiing a few times but I didn't take the camera so you don't get anything. Alex and Liz Norton traveled to Snowmass a couple of weekends ago for some Pipeline action, and this is quick edit of what they filmed. On another note, I've already been kayaking once, and the season is just around the corner, so boating action should be coming in soon!

CB Extremes - Day 1
This is a lengthy post, so bear with me.
Day 1 was the first day of actual competition. The venue was moved to Staircase, which includes the ever popular Dead End Chutes, Body Bag Glades, Dead Bob's Chute, Staircase proper, and of course Slot Rocks. The snow seemed to be somewhat decent for most of the day, but towards the end it started to get chunky, and riders started blowing up here and there. There was some sick skiing being thrown down left and right, too, people going super huge and people running lines that leave you open mouthed in astonishment. It truly was an Extreme comp! For Day 1, everyone was sent in a random order, so there was no pecking order. However, Alex Else (6th), Arne Backstrom (12th), Ryan Hoynacki (16th), Aaron Schmidt (23rd), and Pete Manley (32nd) all advanced to the Finals for Day 2.
The pictures in here are all from the various party footage that was shot over the comp; I will get that video edited and loaded sometime soon, and then you can enjoy that too.

CB Extremes - qualifiers
Day 1 of the 18th Annual Extreme Freeskiing Championships (whew) went down today on Headwall, the fearsome rock riddled face that ever so dutifully looms over the mortals on Paradise. I had to work today, but Corey was cool enough to take my camera and get some shots for me. Between him and Westpiser, they managed to get clips of Pete Manley, Westpiser, and Else. While Manley and Else moved on to the next round, unfortunately Westpiser couldn't muster enough to impress the judges, and will be watching Round 1 tomorrow with us in the bunker! Enjoy.

Telluride Day 3
Day 3 saw Finals/Day 2 of the Telluride Comp go down. Alex skied well, doing a nice technical line up top, and then dropping through a micro chute and then eventually off a cliff into another chute. For his efforts he placed 11th. Ryan Hoynacki, another CB'r, took a similar line, and placed 23rd. The team then busted down the hill, taking a few shots, and then headed for the Awards and after party. The aftermath of the after party is some of the funniest party footage I have ever seen, stay tuned as it will be posted soon.
The boys also shot much more footage than what I've posted; I wanted to get the highlights out but ultimately the rest of the footage is going to have to wait until the movie comes out this fall. Big thanks need to go out to Corey Hartman and Chad Else, for being cool enough to take my camera and film in my absence!

Telluride Day 2
Day 2 was the start of real competition, with the skieurs sending themselves merrily down into the nooks and crannies of "Genevieve". Brian had a good line, but couldn't dial the runout down and crashed. I am still waiting on footage of that, so stay tuned. Alex had a good line and worked his way down through a section of the course that few others wanted a piece of, and ended up in 11th place at the end of the day.

Else on FWT.com
The boys at MSI put together a video of the Telluride comp, that they then put on www.FWT.com, and our boy Alex took the time out of his busy day to give them a soundbite. It's about a minute or so in, and overall it's a pretty well put together video. Enjoy!
