- Drew : No webcast of the Snow Show unfortunately. Most companies don't see the benefit in doing them. It sucks, I really enjoyed the one we did at the Cattleman's event 2 years ago. I think if a company promoted it and did it properly that people would get into it.

- decampo : yeh you had to stomp 4 out of 4 tricks so it became pretty tactical.
- ben : and it always seems to either be terrible blizzard, windy conditions. or a solid block of ice as decampo said
- ben : the last time i went the format was you could hit the jump as many times as you want, but you had to nominate the two times which would count. kinda lame format, but entertaining for the viewer
- Rick : Yeah that's what it looked like in that video. It seemed like there were 3 snowboarders there and a whole bunch of skiiers,
