Double back flip, courtesy of Levi Lavallee, it was quite impressive. The X games were great. Despite all of the economy woes, the turnout at the games seemed great. It was packed. Not only did we get to see some cool tricks and big stars but we got to make some great turns. We got some great Snowmass Ski Rentals and went right on to the hill, perfect. Each night we were able to check out something different at the games, we could take the bus from Snowmass to Buttermilk and back again. We got some snow while we were there and that made the skiing only better. I can’t wait for next year to see the games again and do some more skiing! What a weekend!
