Friday night I went up for the moguls competition. These are some awesome skiers! I have no idea how their knees can take the punishment. I don't remember the names, but Americas took first for both the women's and the men's events. Before the finals, Everclear played for an hour. The event concluded with a fireworks display.

Saturday was the aerials competition. I got up in time to catch the men's qualifications. Unfortunately, the wind cause the round to be postponed several times. They finally decided the qualifications would count as the finals and we were witness to some incredible feats of acrobatics off the jumps. It was a bummer not to see the women compete -- they ruled that their qualification from earlier in the day would count as their finals - but it was fun to be there.

After the jumping, Big Head Todd played a set and the night concluded with another fireworks display.

If you get the chance to go next year, this event is worth attending. All events are free and open to the public. Optionally, VIP passes are available to get you inside the VIP tent which includes dinner, snacks, beverages, and bleacher seating. Either way, you can't go wrong!
'til next time,
