Good style doesn’t go out of style and we’re going to go ahead and call Delorme’s seg from Refresh as relevant to day as it was 3 years ago. Despite missing a lot of the season AD came out swinging during the final few months and quickly amassed a pile of the cleanest, most simple, fluid, and stylish park shots that we’ve ever seen- no doubles, nothing above a 720, and, well, you get the point. This part could drop in next year’s Level 1 flick and still be a crowd pleaser- can’t say that about many segments that were shot in 2009!

For a few days prior to our arrival the Snow Park Tech crew farmed what seemed like all that remained from a season’s worth of park features into a single two-feature line, which eventually became a single strip of snow on an otherwise grassy Dollar Mountain.

After a few revisions the top feature turned into a classic 110-ft stepover, reminiscent of old-school summertime Mt Hood jumps that we grew up watching in our favorite shred flicks- clean, simple, trickable, and big.

Pulling inspiration from Danny Way’s megaramp rainbow rail, also of yesteryear, Brian Callahan and the SPT crew put together one of the most impressive park jibs we’ve ever seen- A rainbow box on a spine nearly 24-ft off the ground with zaugged walls, trannys, and landings on the left, right, and center, which provided nearly infinite options, even for those that didn’t want to take it straight over the top.

With the snow on Dollar melting fast we moved the operation to the top of Bald Mountain to set up our last feature, pulling inspiration from a stepup-gap-stepdown feature that’s appeared in several Crankworx mountain bike events over the past few summers. The construction of this gap to butterpad to whale-tail box suspended on logs over 12 feet up was no small undertaking- more then a few angles had to match up, the logs needed to be perfectly leveled and positioned, and the inrun and outrun dialed in just so.

A few rain-filled down days kept us honing our bowling skills and hedging our bets racing rubber ducks in the overflow streams that run through the Sun Valley Lodge condo complex, while the park crew rallied to keep our features from washing away…

When the clouds cleared on the second to last day the heli was called in, and things once again came together as well as we could have hoped for. Futurespin-free sessions ensued, tricks were stomped, and shots were logged.

Much thanks to Brian Callahan, Mike Fitzpatrick, and the entire Sun Valley and Snow Park Tech crews for hosting another amazing shoot!
