Big Invert
Our new jumps and rails have elevated the level of riding at Nashoba Valley Ski Area. Competitors are going bigger than ever! This picture was taken during the Big Air Comp, normally inverted jumps are not allowed.
Smooth Grab
During the Big Air Competition, we saw huge jumps and nerves of steel. This rider was cool like the mountain air and refused to flail even as he flew 10 feet above head.
Hangtime
The Big Air Competition features a large jump, and the skiers and riders who hit it right had plenty of time to spin, grab, and prepare for a smooth landing. Mistakes are magnified with larger jumps, so we also saw some great wipe outs.
Daffy in the Big Air Comp
Competitors were throwing a mix of new-school inverted and corked spins, as well as old-school daffies and spread eagles.
Backflip
This competitor landed a backflip during the Big Air Competition at Nashoba Valley Ski Area. Inverts are not allowed in the terrain park, but during competition we saw some impressive flips.
Light Snow on January 28, 2010
Another light snow today. On top of the man-made snow and our latest 7" dump, we have been having many little snow showers like this. A little light powder coating the groomed corduroy creates wonderful skiing conditions.
