Copper
It's coming towards the end of my trip so I thought i would give everyone a little look at what the facilities here at copper are like.
Usually the weather is pretty overcast but it never usually dumps snow (I met a guy that explained this to me the other day it has something to do with the weather systems not being able to make it over the pass "full" so by the time they squeeze over they are empty and we just get the clouds but not very much snow). This isn't such a bad thing as it keeps everything in good shape.
So here is a photo of one of the higher lifts on a bad veerryyyy cold day i think around -20.
Then there is the pipe that's built by Frank Wells and his team from Snowpark. It's Always in pristine shape which is really good as a training facility, having a reliable pipe
This is how the pipe looks on most days when it hasn't snowed at all.
Anyways I'll be back home in Australia in not too long. I think it's about a week. And i might even have a little video to post up on here for everyone to see.

Revolution Tour Copper Mountain
A few days ago i competed in the Copper Mountain leg of the Revolution tour which was a pretty stacked event. It was the kind of event you compete in to get a grasp of what is going on in the youthful American snowboard scene. Some of the tricks being thrown down where combination's of back to back 900's and 720 i even saw some 1080's in the mix. I couldn't manage to hold down a run all day which was getting frustrating but i still did what i could. My run wasn't enough to make it into the finals which was hotly contested.
Here is a photo from the competition:
