Today all sorts of skiers showed up for the 1st annual Big Lepowski, hosted by Backcountry.com, Black Diamond, and Discrete headwear:

We saw the likes of Chris Davenport, Cody Barnhill, Andrew McLean, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Callum Pettit, Kasha Rigby, Andy Jacobsen, etc all teaching clinics to eager and stoked adults wanting to sharpen their skills. Clinics included Air awareness, accessing backcountry terrain, skiing steep terrain, how to hit rails, how to jump cliffs, and so on.

My morning session was How to jump cliffs. I had a rowdy bunch of about 6 people and we sent cliffs all over Brighton resorts Millicent terrain. Here are a couple of shots of Joe and Joel getting after it:

Joe up on top thinking about it, we discussed importance of take-off, deepness of the landing,
and sheerness of the cliff. Joe liked it and he was ready to send it.

YeahhhBoyeeeeeeee

And here is Joel on top ready after Joe took the cliff down.

Check out Joel’s smooth style, keeping it tight. Ahem, Joe has some work to do. Just kidding, Joe killed it all day. Yeah Joe!

My turn

I don’t know, I think Joe and Joel looked better.

Showing the fellas some bigger rocks to jump off when the snow is deep.

In the afternoon I had Sarah, Scott, and Jeff for Air awareness. We hit the park then did some cliffs of our own to finish off the day. Sun was out, people were stoked, had a great time.

Tonight we finish it off with a party with some great raffle prizes and all the athletes have their signature leisure suit Big Lebowski style that Backcountry.com and Black Diamond
hooked us up with. Their top and bottoms, white with our names across the back. We are a pretty mean looking crew with our suits. And hilarious.

I’m the brilliant individual that forgot my uni.
