The 2011 Mogul Challenge was held on March 19. Just 24 hours earlier it was a balmy 60 degrees at Mad River Glen. Yet overnight the temps dropped into the teens which made for rugged conditions the day of the competition. Here’s the full length video of every competitor – 1 hour 17 minutes long.
NOTE: It’s a big video file to load….be patient……

Sugarbush Pond Skim Video 2010
Date: March 27, 2010
Location: Lincoln Peak, Sugarbush VT
The 2010 Sugarbush Pond Skim took place on March 27, a beautiful sunny day in the 40s. But don’t be fooled, that water looks tropical but it was really cold….
Footage from New England Cable News Downhill Lowdown which aired Thursday 3.11.2010. Ski footage is from Saturday 3-6 shot at Mt Ellen at Sugarbush (North). Incredible sunshine and tons of snow!
Roy was severely injured on April 29, 2006 while skiing at Mammouth Mountain, CA. He overshot the landing of a 70 foot jump by 21 feet, breaking his back and paralyzing him from the waist down. Roy was life flighted to Reno, NV and underwent emergency surgery.
Roy’s had several surgeries and setbacks, but through it all has maintained an incredibly positive attitude. After 2 1/2 years of rehab Roy made it back to his home mountain Sugarbush VT, where this footage was shot on 12.27.08 on a rainy, crappy day that most people wouldn’t even go outside on. The smile on Roy’s face would make you think it was a sick powder day!
Skiing with Roy are Brucifer Boyle, Bob and Nancy Hennessey.

Date: March 7, 2009
Trail: Lift Line
I don’t know what happened Friday night, about 6-8 inches fell around town, starting around 3pm. But somehow up on the mountain they got FEET of the fluffiest snow I’ve ever skied. Patrol called it 18-24 new but I’m 6?3? and it was waist deep in the woods where I could find untracked snow (beautiful kids & daycare cutting into my trail-freshies in the morning).
Win Smith, Parki, and myself have been skiing Sugarbush a long time and all agreed it was the best day ever anywhere, which is saying a lot. Simply have never skied snow that was so deep yet so light.
