Vertfest 2011

Wow close finish!
Nice job Traslin Bros! Must be a good story where a second here made a second there.
Was the 2nd loup shorter? I see time improvements of nearly 10 mins.
Congratulations to all that participated!

Congrats all!

Thanks to all for putting on a really well run event again this year and a big thanks to the course oragnizers and the Alpental patrol for great course prep.  The tributes to Monika Johnson were really touching- Ryan L. carried the heart of a lion on his back today and the slide show during the awards was emotionally moving. Seeing so many participants with stuffed animals was a great reminder of how many peoples lives she touched.

The weather cooperated as well and was beautiful, it almost made me forget how much I was suffering on the up.

Second lap was to knoll 1 instead of Piss Pass due to the new snow up high.
kudos to all the race division finshers.

Thanks for the fun yesterday. Was amazed to see the creek crossing in, the groomers must have filled that as it was flowing for tha last month. Thanks also for the great snow too, right on queue! Skinning was a breeze compared to last year and what a wonderful set of tributes and comaraderie from all involved! I haven't wolf whistled in years so that was fun to make some NOISE for Monika.

Thanks also to the ski patrol for not opening the upper gates until late morning so we could all enjoy some powder turns after the race!

I hurt today....
