Red Bull park competition today. We rode all the chairs up to the park, and I was getting excited to compete park, but it got called off. Instead, they had a giant jam session, where everyone was just skiing all the features with as many hits as they wanted. It's cool to see how similar things are on the other side of the world. I was talking with some local guys about ski movies --ski movies I watch at home, that these guys all see too. It's cool. And the whole competition was pretty much the same as ones in the US, too: giant speakers blasting rap, people laying and sitting everywhere watching the action. Then also I was interacting with the culture pretty full on, sitting at the top with all the dudes, watching everyone go, everyone watching me go. Still in my mountaineering gear though. They thought it was pretty cool actually, me being able to do what I did in that equipment. The day was overcast giving the whole valley and glacier a different feel, a sort of waiting feel. Instead of the bright vivid colors that the sunlight brought out, everything was grey, with all the peaks shrouded in clouds. Damian shot some photos, tried jumping a little bit, and otherwise just chilled up there while I jumped. Back to Terksol, beef kabobs, coke, and comfy beds.
