Sooo, how was it?

How was the course? I'm assuming the upper bowl was closed and they just raced the lower course.

Lets hear the stories, see the pics!

Nope, all the classes ran their regular respective courses. The upper bowl was all clear except for a section where they removed some snow to expose the course. All the runoff from the remaining snow made it a muddy section but other than that the mountain was pretty good.

Beautiful weather both days (Sunday was a little cooler) and Petr and crew did another good job of putting on what was a very busy race day (dh, short track, and xc racing!).

Yep great race, Cannonball was a little muddy and the waterbars were tough. I ran the sport course and thought it was in pretty good shape.
Props to Petr and crew!

the trail was in super nice condition!
definitely one of the best trails I have ridden to date, so fun, so fast!(never been to ski-bowl before the race)
only one muddy spot where the trail goes right by a snow patch on the open section, there were also massive water-bars so you either had to manual through or hop the whole thing.
fast times were in the mid to low 4minutes
I took 1st in Junior Expert , so I'm pretty happy about that!

also wondering if they run the same course for every race?

also wondering if they run the same course for every race?

Generally yes. They are trying to mix it up. We heard at the 1st race they had the OK to do some new trail, but thats a long process.....
