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.

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.
