We snowed in the inrun of the K90 yesterday and cut the track today. The track looks real straight, and should set up to be rock hard. With any luck it will last all year, although we'll have to continually shovel off excess snow if the winter continues on the path its on. Cutting track was actually pretty easy; I helped two of the coaches do it in a couple of hours, but getting the snow on the jump and ready yesterday was quite a process. We had people sending man-made snow down chutes from the top of the jump, then others had to shovel the snow into place, boot and ski pack it down to compress the air out of it, and then the snow needs to be perfectly even and flush with the side boards. In total, it took almost 20 people 5.5 hours on Saturday. But don't worry, it's worth it! Jumping Tuesday!
