Contests are usually held in sub par conditions, or are freestyle events on hard pack, and are therefore usually unappealing. There area few comps that have focused on powder instead, and these have a totally different feel and allow for leading edge skiing to take a forefront. The Red bull line catcher falls in this category. This event was super cool, and truly mixed a big moutian venue with freestyle airs. Every run had big airs, creative lines, and massive tricks. Candide Thovex one with a insane run that started with a big tail grab 720, into a 360, then a huge flat 3. Sean Pettit, and CR Johnson both threw down sick runs with big tricks thrown clean to round out the top three places.
I have been having a blast here, the pow has been sick, and every day has lead to a new adventure, from deep powder tree skiing, to sun lit big faces, to long pow filled coliours, tons of jumps, and good vibes between all the competitors here.
