[Schoening]

Austin Sweetin and Ivan Marcinko. Both are some of the best snowboarders in the state

yea, the bladers were goin bigger than most of the skiers..ha, and they were the only ones dressed up! next year should be even better. there needs to be a better announcer setup tho, music or somethin.

sweetin is the next shit to blow up out of WA....big tyme duditbrosephs. sick as shit even in the pow. harder than most ive seeeeenn. marcinko rides a 145 haha snowblades worked out for him. from my perception the comp was legit. good turn out. hiking is wearing on the lungs. PBR. good work to garrett, cat gots better rail skills than most in WA. tryin to see tricks from you faster....haaas at that shit. hollllllaaaa! good work Shalbot bout time the NW shows whats up. pretty sure the comp next year needs an open keg.

[A-Style**]

thts so insane mad props to everybody lets hope we turned some heads doin this comp so we can have more and more

 

[skier_boy26]

i honestly can't think of a local event or comp that I've ever been to that has had such a large awesome skier turnout as pretzels and polish donuts did, so I'd imagine (in an ideal world) that some heads were definitely turned. Definitely a fun event, even with the weather.
