It has be<strong>com</strong>e a<br />
tradition that after<br />
the IHLGF a number<br />
of contestants take<br />
a trip to Parker<br />
Mountain for a bit of<br />
front side sloping and<br />
back side dynamic<br />
soaring. I <strong>com</strong>e from<br />
the east coast with a<br />
limited number of<br />
slope sites and<br />
where the lift is<br />
sporadic. Being at<br />
Parker where the lift<br />
is so consistent and<br />
so BIG is quite a treat.<br />
By sunset on<br />
Tuesday, the lift was<br />
dying and Charles<br />
Frey, Peter Jensen, Al<br />
Nephew and myself<br />
were stretching out<br />
our final moments on<br />
the mountain.<br />
First Peter flew Al’s<br />
Encore and<br />
attempted a few low<br />
speed DS circuits on<br />
the back side, then<br />
Charles flew it on the<br />
front side to create<br />
this photo<br />
opportunity.<br />
