Entrance to the Canis Lupis trail. I had no idea double black diamonds existed! Let's race down it!
The crowd, waiting in anticipation...anticipation for the ride of a lifetime. Get some!
Course inspection; it only gets gnarlier as the day goes on. There were 6 gates before the course dropped into the gully. From there on out, it's a race against the clock.
Josh was worried he would have to wait for 31 people to drop in before his run. He ended up dropping second. Good work Josh!
And now he's boxing. Ok...Rocky Balboarder. See what I did there? ;)
Josh making power moves through the start gate. Timing was official, lasers and everything. Just watch out for snowsnakes on the way down!
Robert Ho was going really fast. Josh had a respectable time as well. The fastest ski time was 15-20 seconds faster. Wowsers!
The last stretch before the finish. Rather tame & majestic compared to the rest of the course.
If racing down a double black diamond wasn't enough, Josh throws a tail grab in for imaginary style points. A great day indeed!
Staying hydrated is the key to winning. It doesn't hurt to be crazy & fearless too. Rose, Nate, Adam, Igor & friend before their qualifying runs.
Riders Meeting. Josh is stoked.
i mean really stoked.
Trees were a popular theme throughout the course; over, under, in between. Best to wear a brain bucket.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect before dropping into Canis Lupis. I had watched a few videos online and heard about it from friends, but there was nothing to prepare me for the beast that is CANIS LUPIS.
Bummed you missed out?
