The Invite-Only Red Bull Powder Disorder starts tomorrow. The event will have 3 jumps built into it. The first jump will be mandatory for athletes and the second two will be optional. This simply begs the question “WTF are groomed slopestyle jumps doing on the Big Mountain!?” Is it stupid or cool? More on that very soon…
Conditions for the event tomorrow are looking poor. The new snow they got has been thouroughly cooked and wind-beaten. Full conditions report here: Griffin Post’s Las Leñas Report August 9th, 2011.
