The set of photos below come from Blackjack at their 2010 Slush Cup competition (much writing has come from this day). While I did not capture it, the snowboarder gets completely out of the pond and lives for the next round. Still, amazing stuff!
Looks Bad, huh?
Getting better

2. The Midwest. Most people don’t view the Midwest as skiing country, but cold-weather states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota are built for winter sports. Maybe other events like snowmobiling and icefishing are a little more popular, but there are plenty of opportunities to find good winter skiing in the Midwest. The Midwest is also home to some large population centers, so you don’t have to stray too far from large airports to go on a great skiing trip.
You know, I have had a few things to say about this!

Giro Seam Helmet
In my years of skiing I have crashed many times and only once did I get a blow to head and it was on hard pack, but the blow was not too hard. I checked myself for concussion and seems to me the fact I did that means I was not concussed.
However, from time to time we ski on literal ice and crashing on those ice patches could cause severe trauma to one’s head. Not to mention the possibility of catching an edge just long enough to send one into the trees or similar mishap

I am seeing a lot of blog postings & alerts along the lines of:
What appears to be going on is unscrupulous people are posting these stories and getting a burst of traffic from the BS rumor post or the denial story. Yesterday, it was a famous comedian/singer/actor today it was another actor whose name I did not recognize.
There was supposedly a rumor going about the death of a famous singer but she did not die (though reputable reporting does note she is gravely ill and the story does not involve winter spor). What irritates me the most is the stories are tending to center on skiing or snowboarding, there is enough reality along those lines we don’t need to add on with fiction. Please knock it off, and please don’t click on the links for the entire story, whether rumor or denial of rumor.

My full review of Hot Tub Time Machine is now completely open. I password protected it and gave out the password as a spoiler. That password protection is now removed.
I figure most of you have seen the movie and if you have not seen the movie you don’t mind having certain aspects of the movie revealed.

I skied at Blackjack last weekend. This was the first time I had been back to Blackjack in sometime, I would guess the last time I was there was in the 2007/2008 season. Last season Blackjack lay idle, looking for a new owner.
COOL TRICK!
This boarder is exiting the pond! He went across the pond and spun a 180° turn on exit, you see him completing his turn and landing it on solid snow. Very very cool!
Well, my brother bought tickets for my father, himself, and myself and last weekend we collected on that purchase.

The Philippine Ski Federation
Philippine Ski Federation has been a member of FIS (Federacion Internacionale de Ski – the world governing body) since 1999. Currently, PSF participates in two to the 9 disciplines under the FIS, namely alpine skiing and snowboarding. Also currently, our athletes and coaches come from United States and Canada. We are the only country, without snow, that consistently sends snowboarders and skiers to the World Cup and World Championships for the last 5 years. Truly we are unique as a people and a country!
This is very cool, now I need to find a way I can support this effort!
