West Coast Session has always been one of my favorite events in skiing.
For years I have been reading articles, looking at pictures, and watching the glorious edits of WCS.
I arrived on the 2nd, the day before WCS official began.
After about three runs, I knew it was going to be a good week.
The skies were blue and the vibes in the park was awesome.
Despite the lack of snow, Timberline had a pretty solid setup and the big jump look amazing.
The first day of WCS is also gaper day.
EVO was cooking hot dogs and a lot of people were dressed up.
It was another day of amazing weather and everywhere I seemed to look, there was another well-known skier.
Most of these guys were throwing down and ready for the weeks party.
Most notable was the notorious Scrappy Joe.
Scrappy was by far more intoxicated than any other skier I had seen skiing before.
At the end of day everyone was all smiles.

Day 2 was just as beautiful.
This was the first day that everyone sessioned the big jump.
Watching people hit the feature was amazing.
Doubles were being thrown on the big jump, while others were getting jibby in the Guac Bowls.
The rain and fog had come and no one was too stoked to go shred.
I went up both days and took some causal laps.
Most people were hiking features including the s-rail and the flat-down-flat-up.
It was certainly fun, but everyone was ready for it to be sunny again.

The fifth and final day of WCS was great.
The sun had broken from the clouds and the majority of the WCS riders were hitting the big feature.
Everyone was stoked and throwing down.
Plenty of crazy tricks were being thrown; including Zak Mousseaus zero spin.

All in all WCS is not something to miss.
It is a great way to meet people and always a good time.
