Fuck yeah! Team man-pack had a good showing today. A-train in 12th! Samwich in 19th out of a field of 71 when 38 were taken. I pulled a 4th out of 11 ladies. Another whistlerite maxim pulled a 7th for men.

Maggots made a good showing today. Sammich, Atrain, and GoNads (who did very well) progress to tomorrow for a 40 minute hike to the top. alto and Tats, both prequalified, are here. The terrain and especially the snow is sick. It cleared well for most of the day, with a vis hold for a while. The quals venue was big and long. Tomorrow it's higher, steeper and deeper with some quality air features. If it stays clear, this comp will fukkin go off hard.

I think it's called the "Air Jordan".

I'm glad I have two monitors on days like this.

I'd definitely suggest hitting the live feed around 11:30 Pacific, refreshing as needed until you see it.

You do not want to miss this.
