A cool downhill/4 cross event held at a Pennsylvania ski mountain (skibluemt.com). You can download the better quality wmv on the lower right hand side of this page (I lost all the original footage in a harddrive crash and poor/lack-of digital tape storage)

The next race will be held on January 10th, 2009. Cost to race is $20.00, which includes a lift pass if want to ski or board that afternoon.

Enjoy.
