After a slightly windy second day at Heavenly Lake Tahoe, Southshore Soldiers Camp was going off today with huge tricks and big names showing up to throw down. Day three of the Von Zipper Session at South Shore Soldiers was a banger, with The Prince of South Lake himself, Jimi Tomer came by to get nasty with Lane Knaack, Shawn Durst, Jimmy Halopoff, Hashy Terry, the Kingvale Terrain Park Crew, Pro Skier Rory Silva, Graham Raymond, Von Zipper's Sticky, and many more. It was a gorgeous day on the hill and we have another great private park setup making it perfect for everyone to throw down and learn some tricks. Here is some of todays action...

It was quite a long session with both skiers and snowboarders going big on and off the butter pad doing back flips and barrel rolls all day long. With many innovative features including a road gap over a trail, huge ice butter pad, a bunch of fun jibs and jumps, and a BMX style rhythm section, this years camp has something for everyone of every skill level...

There was a long session in front of everyone on the wall ride with everyone throwing down... Even 4 ½ y/o Preston was shredding the features. I managed to get myself bombarded with snowballs and lunch trays full of snow when it was my turn on the wall ride.
