nzlegend 1 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Mens Moguls - the snow is absolute garbage! it looks like late spring all slushy and crap. The hot sunny days and womens moguls have wrecked it, the final run out is so flat and bumpless you couldnt even call them moguls. Lots of really untidy runs, huge sick airs though. No offence to the women but they should have run the premier event first on the good snow Link to post Share on other sites
sock_monkey 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 the air is indeed sick, they're going huge. but damn, when is the quad twister going to die! Link to post Share on other sites
