Snowbird Comp: Results Are IN!

for now i'm just gonna skip to the meat and potatos here. ..

little buddy, Nick Greener took top honors for the men and Laura Ogden held it down for the ladies.

They gave out TWO, count'em TWO, sickbirds this year. The first one went to vitual unknown, unsponsored, local Alta ripper Stacy Cash for chargin down that venue like it was her freaking job! And the second one went to Christian Boucher out of Whistler who was 2nd going into day 2 and completely tearing North Baldy a new one.

ALSO, I'd like to recognize Miss Fineline for the first sickbird nomination of the day AND the largest attempted huck of any female skier all day. That definitely gets obligatory trademarked and patented BIG UPS

FKNA FINELINE!!!

how bout griz?

KILLER! Good job fineline! Where are results posted? I can't believe some one was sicker than Carr's 140 foot front flip, WTF?

i dont think they are posted anywhere yet. they just had the awards ceremony a couple hours ago. and good point about carr's huck, maybe they were only counting today?

thanx for the update Linx
huge congrats to Nick
... and Julian, all the huck for just a little publicity, you's one smart guy :rolleyes:

Maybe he was hoping to please the crowd, not build publicity.

All I can say for sure is, as a member of the crowd, I was very pleased.

Beatering down Y-couloir and getting more injured than a guy who front flipped the most impressive air Ive ever seen, looks to me like his risk was a little more calculated then yours. :rolleyes: Why the hate?

(the guys ran a super finals with the top 10 after the morning finals...they were going to send the top 5 girls to a super finals too, but decided not to, not sure why, possibly for time)

Hmmm...I *happened* to be riding by the venue (really, I was there for a total of three minutes) when I heard the announcer babbling on about sickbird...it was Bouchard's run , I saw the last bit of it...cool stuff!

Way to go Nick.... That slide show was sweet from last years.... Julian is a sickbird even without the award....

Cool! Alto made the top ten.

YEAH! Good job Alto!

And nice to see Guerlain Chicherit back in competition.

Oh shit, when is there goign to be footage? :cussing:
To semihardpack too I'm guessing?
Carr is one ballsy mofo.

Props to fineline and the rest of the magettes/maggots too.

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, anyone know how Nick Devore did?

Props to 'Bird local Alaina Huestis, fineline, alto.

Damn fine local representation up top, you see. :cool:

Nick Devore ended up 48th after day one, so he did not advance. He's a sick skier though, I've competed against him before. By 'competed against', I mean 'been beaten by'.

just my $0.02, which most of the time don't mean shit anyway - at least not on the internet.;)

btw, here's the link to the complete final results - finally up this morning
http://www.usfreeskiing.com/2006/Sno...%20results.htm

Two points on Julian's choice of air:
1. If he doesn't lose a ski, he moves on to the finals.
2. The landing zone is typically skied out, but due to the area being closed for the comp, it was good to go.

I'm sure Julian was quite disappointed that he didn't advance.
