Hello Freeriders,
This past Sunday, Jan 8th, was the first Slopestyle of the 2011 ADK Series USASA competition schedule. Although we have had a shortage of snow all over the northeast to start this 2011-2012 ski season, the snow making crews and the Whiteface Park Staff all kicked into overdrive to provide one heck of a slopestyle course. There were two jumps each with two different size take-offs. The distances on the first jump measure 35 ft and 45 ft, and the distances on the 2nd jump measure 30 ft and 40 ft. After the jump line was a wide jump lip with four rail features sitting on top.
As you can see from the picture above: there was a culvert gap to a flat rail (skiers left), the flat rail could also be slid by itself, a cannon rail (center), and a up to down box (skiers right) (also called the "shark fin").
Every athlete did their best to bring their A game on Sunday. The level of skill was incredibly high. In total there were 39 athletes ranging over a total of 10 disciplined age-groups.
