recap of big air

So, the big air went super good, but not without some complications. We started pushing snow around at about 9:00 on Friday evening. Started out with about 20 motivated people, but as the nite wore on, we were left with about 5 people shoveling. We ended the nite at 6:30 in the morning. At this point our spirits were pretty low. It was looking like the jump wasnt going to work out. 
Logan took a quick break to fastplant this mini spine

Peeps started showing at the jump the next day around 1:00. Until about 5, it was still looking grime, but somehow, within the next hour the landing was completely redone and started to look feasible. 
Anchorage Fire Department came through four times to ice the runway.

Last minute preparations

By 6:30, peeps were gettin down. Getting speed showed to be a little tough, but it worked.
