Huh -- Mountain ops rotated the Chets camera so we can actually see progress on Catwalk. What a novel idea :)

YMMV, but I don't consider the likes of Burke or Green Mountain ski teams Jerrys. Both of whom have been at opening weekend at my home hill.

Are they skiing the WROD though? Or their own training slopes? (Not that I approve of calling other skiers jerrys when there's no actual proof - preferably in the form of funny videos - that they're jerrys... :D)

Any coach that allows team members to join the free for all that is the Abay WROD is not a good coach imo. Unless sending them out there is some form of brutal training that I am unaware of?

Both. They buy lane time, and then freeski the WROD outside of it.

Abasin isn't my home hill -- Loveland is. Misread your original post -- apologies.

Brings up another question.... how's the Loveland WROD compared to A-Basin? Is it on Tempest? Mambo?

Superior in every way except that it opens a few days later typically.

More vert (717ft vs 990), wider run, longer run, better snow quality, less lines, cheaper beer, better race teams to watch.

LL is terrible. No one should ski there. Everyone should go to A-Basin.
