The Salomon/Bonfire RV rolled through Utah and Colorado last week and if you weren’t there it looked a little like this. . .

Last weekend (February 3-4, 2012), while the rest of the world was either at the Air & Style in Austria or discussing the Supernatural event in British Columbia riders gathered a Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta for the Burton Canadian Open.
Pretty much everything went as planned except that Kelly Clark did not win. In fact, after qualifying second behind Gretchen Bleiler with only one run in the pipe, she skipped her second qualifying run and did not start in the finals. Here’s what she had to say about pulling out.
“After taking a crash in semis practice yesterday I am not feeling 100% and am not going to compete in the finals tonight at the Canadian Open,” Clark said. “With many events left in the season, I need to rest up and make sure I can ride at my fullest potential in the contests to come.”
Spain’s Querald Castellet took advantage of Clark’s absence and rode away with the win. Japan’s Ryo Aono took the men’s pipe. And slopestyle was simply a continuation of the Chas Guldemond and Jamie Anderson show.

This video of snowboarder Meesh Hytner would seem to suggest that wearing a Backcountry Access Float 30 (or a similar avalanche buoyancy device) can be very helpful when the entire slope begins to slide. Glad everyone is okay.

Bergisel Stadium is reportedly all set for the 2012 Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck, Austria Saturday, February 4, 2012.
Despite the absence of last year’s winner Mark McMorris, the current standings in the TTR are a constant mix of high flying new riders all making their mark on the tour and this event will be no different; with riders like Eric Willet, Sage Kotsenburg, Seb Toots, Jamie Nicholls and all the rest there is no predicting who will take the win and that’s what makes this such an unmissable event.
