Love their video Roger, having the high ground certainly gives you a great vantage point.

Are you going to be around in G? We are planing to try pumping water at Lava again.

When is G ???? My only plans now are for November, unless some one calls with a paying job somewhere.

Work was started at the tail end of "D" session. They were using the man-lift which went up on a flat that week.

I took some photos in session A and you could still see snowmobile tracks in the snow on the track side of the building. I am almost positive that the snowmobile guys caused the damage using the roof as a jump ramp. Thats what happened to the Rendevous restaurant at the Los Pinos loop. They crashed down on the patio roof while landing from the jumps and wrecked the building.
