As we all know, WCS is done forever.
This forced Public Day to the end of the week.
Some boys took it upon themselves to build a booster off a run.
Others took to Gypsy Island to build pump tracks and get some skiing in.
However, most athletes stayed at Windells and skated.
Later in the day The Opening Ceremony was held, with a dedication of the event to Heffy.
The Team Edit Contest was announced, causing quite some hype.
Everyone had already been checked in, and people were already in their own cabins.
Day one was the sunset jump.
My day consisted of following skier around, trying to get Instagram shots, and harassing photocopiers for pictures.
As the day winded down we headed to the big jump.
This years jump was 85 feet, with ample air time.
The weather was not providing.
There was still some wind, and dark cloud were forming as the sunset shoot approached.
Spirits remind high though, with a mini booster being built during the BBQ break.
After food was provided, the cat went up again, and the sunset shoot began.
There was a limited 15 minute time period when the wether was good.
Big jump got shut down after it was decided to be too risky.
When we returned to Windells from Timberline it was go time for updates and Press Releases.
This work went well into the early morning, with a PR sent out at 1:00 AM.
With three hours to lap Stormin Normin before the Daily Offer, skiers were lapping the jumps and rails.
This went until roughly 4:30, well past what anyone had expected.
The forecast had called for rain, that came and left quickly in the afternoon.
By the time everyone got back to Windells spirits had lifted and WCS10 was fully underway.
Making the strike over to Storming Norman was easily the worst part of the day.
For roughly three hours the sun came out, allowing morning hot laps to happen.
Eventually the rain arrived, shutting down the days action in the early afternoon.
Skiers scrambled to make it down the hill and back to Windells amidst dense thunder clouds.
The Guac Bowl, a backcountry setup built by Team Local, was the afternoons special offering.
The Guac Bowl was a step up/berm wall jump built into the side of a canyon-wall cornice.
The session went until 6:00 enough time for people to get the tricks they wanted down.
Every night was different, guac contests, campfires, and skating into the dark.
Thankfully the sky was clear on Friday, and the rescheduled Public Day went down in fine fashion.
Hillcrest Sports was at the top of Stormin Norman, slanging out free hot dogs.
As the day went on, the final offer was prepared.
When the slopes were cleared, WCS10 Closing Ceremonies were held at Windells Camp.
Working the projector for this was possibly the most difficult part of the entire session for me.
Despite the issues, the ceremony went on near flawlessly.
There was a Skype session, with those who couldnt make it.
Thank to Brandon and Ethan for putting it on for the past ten years.
