The week began with more snow and more fun. The team spent some time in the Stash early in the week before traveling out to California for the 3rd stop on USSA's Revolution Tour. The team stayed at Northstar so they could get some quality riding in on their day off. Competition began on Friday with Max's boardercross. Max qualified with a decent time trial run but got edged out by half a board length during his 1st heat run. He finished 24th at the end of the day. Saturday was halfpipe. Alex came in 47th and Mitch 42nd in a huge field of high quality riders. Alex and Mitch competed the following day in slopestyle. Alex got 55th and Mitch 26th. After the competition the team squeezed in some extra riding time before heading back to their red eye flight out of Sacramento. Alex and Max were able to nail their first on snow back flips. Both were grinning ear to ear and talked about back flipping for the rest of the day. The team heads back to Killington for a week and then will be flying out to Mt. Hood for the last installment of the Revolution Tour at Mount Hood Meadows, Oregon.
