Rider Rally 2010 at Copper Mountain: Day 2

Day Two of Rider Rally 2010 brought snow, sun, and smiles. Granted, they were tired smiles—and people may have been moving a little more slowly on Wednesday.

A full day of riding and then a couple hours of trampolines and jumping into foam pits at Woodward at Copper on the first day will do that to a person. But the troops lived up to the event name, and everyone rallied and rode hard again. Burton rocked up and stoked everyone out with the latest rides for the day. New snow and sweet new boards ... how sick is that!

Groups split up into those who wanted to ride the mountain and those who wanted to hit the parks and pipe on the way down the mountain. The ski crew dialed in the rainbow box with some solid coaching from David Oliver, PSIA Alpine Team park and pipe specialist. “Name it and claim it” was the theme from for AASI Snowboard Team member Josh Spoelstra‘s group as riders worked their way from 50-50s to boardslides and spins in the park.

Fresh snow and routes through the trees kept the mountain crew stoked, while the sweet boxes, jumps, rails, and pipe kept the style free for the others. Check out the pics from the park!

We’re indoors throwing spins at Camp Woodward and the white stuff’s still coming down hard outside. A little partying, a little sleep, and Day Three’ll be here before we know it!
