Ok, so I wasnt going to post certain photos for my own reasons but then I checked out the IcerAir comp photos/video and realized that I just had to.I mean, this is what snowboardings all about right? Just shredn for the pure fun of it with your hommies, dippin ropes and spraying people at mach 10. So Copper opened up this past friday and of course you know that it was to be going off the richter scale. Aspen crew formed like Voltron on the morning of November 3rd and zipped across I-70 to take advantage of what we hoped to be an amazing weekend of snow shredding.

During the drive over I was texting my new internet buddie JP The Machine that I would be keeping an eye out for them in the lift line and wouldnt you know it, there was Drago and JP right behind us.

Almost there...

Can't you guys hire a few more squirls and get this bucket of bolts moving faster?

Holy crap, first high speed quad ride of the season, bluebird, fresh wax coat, my best of friends and free tickets from one of the radest mountain marketing staffs ever. Jeah!

So as we get to the top of Copper Mtn's American Eagle chair lift, we fly over what appears to be a heard of cattle grazing in the mini snowboard park. "Holy crap! Who let all these god damn animals in here?", I yelled out. Oh, wait a minute. Its not cattle, its just 300 jibboarders hiking the park. I wish that I had a picture of all them because it was god damn rediculos. "Hey Brodie, did you see me switch back 9 onto that ride on picnic table?"

This shit to me is by far the lamest thing I think you can do if you just paid $50 to ride. We went right thru the park forming like a twelve headed snake and took advantage of all the pow zones not yet roped off by patrol. Pretty soon poeple from the chair started to catch onto our supercross course that we had rallyed to ourselves for a few and that was that. So in the words of the dopest hair metal band ever, "Run to the hills, run for your life!"

We headed up the Palma to get away from it all and do some top to bottom burners. Dust slashers are the shit. I mean how often do you get to white room yourself and not have to worry about it.

We ended up finding this super fun tree run that had a ton of natural features inside it and on the way out your exited into a wide open pow feild with creek gaps and bush/sapling pillows primed for gaping.

"Hey bra, I heard Justin Bartle shred so hard he snap his stick yah? This is what you get for playing to hard during low tide.

So while energy was comming back to us at base camp thanks to the machine, Zach Horowitz had set up the SmithLimo for some pre season carnage. I love it, all the new fish just came down from the jib park thinking that they can nail any trick under the son and then, !CRACK! reality sets in as they pack shit on there face from 10 feet to flat.

But then there are some kids out there that you could shoot with a canon and they would still stomp there trick, like new hottness Lucas Magoon.

So with a broken deck JB decided to partake in the mayhem by offering himself to Ullr. FT/270 out fist attempt and followed up by this nose to shifty tail bonk to fakie.

God damn am I ever hungry! Isnt it time to check into the hotel yet? Its a good thing when you have a crew of 8 and you get styled with a three bedroom condo on the golf course. Its also very nice when Iron Chef Will Blonna comes along to take care of all your dining needs.

Lil Cory Stasinos took all the money at poker this weekend. All in against JB with a full boat for the win. Time for bed and more snowboarding tomorrow. So we woke up, it was the same deal on Saturday with just more people stoked to go slide on snow. Patrol fenced off everything that they possably could so we got shut down on the legitamit poaching. We had to just get even more creative now and it went something like this.

We found this log jammer off the run that was really tall and long with an exit right onto rocks and into some tight ass trees. JB stepped up with the guinee pig and from there it was on. Bartle probabaly got the nastyiest schmeal on the feature with a noseslide f1 out (top of page).

Wyatt Stasinos with his jedi steez would land like a cat everytime and not even swet the landing.

At this point we were all going crazy and hitting everything up with grins from ear to ear. Lets hear it for snowboarding, feck yah!

Cory Stasinos didnt get enough snowboarding in for his 15 year old body, so he grabbed his buddy Hayden Meyer and I to go have a lil more fun.The rest of the night was spent at the Blackalicious concert in the Copper Mtn. Convertion Center. The scene was so hard that I didn't want to pull out my camera for fear of gettin jacked and then shanked repeatedly. All in all Copper is going off so if your around you might want to check it out or her sister mountain Winter Park which are both open and opening more and more terrain every day. Aspen opens this friday I think, so posse up and I will see you on the hill.
