Mind the gap
Ski blogger Sam Lozier is spending a chunk of this winter in
Matt Roon skinning up Monkey Hill.
After closely monitoring the snow accumulations during the last storm and manicuring the in-run to the stump several times, Wes was finally ready to hit the jump yesterday morning.
Wes Roon about to clear the gap jump.
A few deep breaths and a three-count later, he dropped straight into the lip, popped hard, and barely cleared the transition to the landing. His brother Matt, watching from above, dropped in right after and carried a bit more speed, allowing him a more generous margin of error and a big more hang time.
All told, the jump got hit five spectacular times before we called it a day and went off to go ski powder.
