North American Freeskiing Championships at Kirkwood
The North American Freeskiing Championships return to the forbidden Cirque area of Kirkwood Ski Resort. This permanently closed area seems to open each season for only this Freeskiing World Tour event. After looking at the photo below, it's understandable why the resort has this area under such tight control.
For many seasons, I've played with the idea of entering this comp. It'd be a thrill to ski the narrow chutes and huck the cliffs of this challenging area. Since I'm not getting any younger, next season might be the year.
Good luck to all the competitors!

Tram Face Postponed Until Tomorrow
This morning, I was eagerly awaiting the start of the Freeride World Tour Tram Face (http://tramface.com/en/) competition at Squaw Valley. Given the recent snow, it appeared to be going off. From my perspective, it would've been a bad decision.
The technical lines in this no-fall zone area are skiable only a few days a year. It would take near perfect conditions to make these insanely steep, narrow and rock covered chutes to be skiiable on any day. Now, the idea of having a competition where all competitors are taking risk and trying to outdo each other seems to be a very unsafe decision to me. In the end, the comp was postponed on Monday and moved to the Silverado area because of the unstable snowpack. Check out the video below to see a slide that was provoked by a skier cut right before competition time.
