Smith Optics Lake Louise Big mountain Challenge: Day 2

Today's venue, ER3, was in perfect condition and the sun was out. The venue was technical, with plenty of sharks and exposure. Smart skiing was the mantra of the day but actions proved louder than words, and competitors throughout the field put it all out there for their chance at skiing in tomorrows finals.

The top score on the day in the women's field went to Sonja Lercher (Whistler), putting her into contention with the rest of the top three: 3) Martha Burley, 2) Crystal Rose-Lee (Whistler), and 1) Leah Evans. Rounding out the women's finalists are Lindsay McDermid (Fernie), Chelsea Sullivan (Whistler), and Meagan Klassen.

Venue: semi-finals

In the men's field, the field of 40 was axed to 23. The field was strong, with many competitors choosing a gnarly looking double through peppered rocks. Top score of the day went to Mike Hopkins, who skied fluid and stomped his landing. Athan Merrick and Jeremy McClure (Whistler) tied for second, followed by Brett Crabtree (Whistler). CJ Wright deserves a mention in 4th (can you say charged it) and was rewarded with the second highest score on the day.

Rounding out the top 23 in this order are: Rob Meaney, Blayne Hettinga, Kevin Hjertas, Mathieu GT (Whistler), Wes Harris, George Ezard, Caleb Mullen, Todd Paterson, Peter Hodgson, Scottie Dodds, Robert Smith, Ross Janzen, Bryce McLean, Drew Wittstock, Colin Puskas, Alex Blais (Whistler), Kai Caemmerer, Jeff Harker, Sam Wright, Josh Bremer, Jordan Kropper, Dustin Clark.

My favourite quote from the day has to go to Blazer. Never a dull moment with Blais, he drinks a redbull before his run and charges hard and fast out of the gate, sending his airs bigger than he planned, and missing a section of his run. I suggested maybe dropping redbull from his pre-game diet. His response: "NO!!! Tomorrow, I will drink two...and SEND IT!!"

Ya buddy! If today was anything to judge by, tomorrow's finals is going to be amazing. Get up to Louise this weekend and take in the finals at ER5.

Blazer and Mathieu
