The idea sounded perfect after a few drinks and a quick confirmation on weather from mother nature for the following day. The plan was to leave at 4am to get to Cooke City at 7am to meet up with Shane Stalling(Aka the boss) and his buddies to show us around. I was joined by skier Cody Perin and Toy Soldier Productions filmer Justin Brodin and we set off. If you ever get a chance to drive thru Yellowstone National Park, take advantage of the amazing scenery and seeing wildlife up close. When I say up close I mean we almost hit a few hundred between driving there and back.
Without killing bambi we met Shane's crew at the Super 8 and he began doubling everyone back there. The sled in was around 6 miles and I about puked every 100 yards from the festivites of the night before.
The jump had already been built the day before by Shane and Tyrel so we just showed up and it was on. Phil knocked his shoulder out on the biggest air of the day. It sucks it was first hit but at least he overshot everyone by double digits. Cody was dialed on landing his dub 7 but sent it a bit deep on the attempt and ripped the toe peace off the ski and split it in half.
Winter not over yet!
Happy Shooting
YEEE DAWG
