Shapers Life Episode 3 - Rookie Ski Comp

2010-03-06T03:24:00.000-08:00

The park held a small local ski comp in the park in mid-January. The comp had to take place on the smaller medium-line because of bad weather but still went down well. I did some filming in between re-shaping of the competition run.
