We headed out to Greely Bowl today to check out the final of the Freeskiing Tour event at Revelstoke, and the journey was worth it with some ridiculous skiing on show.

We settled in with a couple of beers, made some mini snow-caves and cheered our hearts out from the ridge looking into the competition area, alongside a big crowd that turned out to watch the event.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the monster 100ft (we judged it to be anyways) cliff drop that one of the competitors did - we were too far away from the finishing area to hear the names, but I was told later it was the second place-getter.

Click read more to see some shots of that drop, and a host of other cool stuff.

I'm splitting this post in two because there's lots of pics so it'll save some loading time. Enjoy!



As you can see the lighting was less than ideal for pics, they had to delay the start of the event for a couple of hours because of visibility issues (there was some annoying cloud hanging around) and while it cleared up quite well, it was still fairly dark. Anyways, enough excuses for my bad photography. Get some radical into you:

Five shots of a drop:










These next five shots are of a dude doing a really cool backflip off a drop, he was the only competitor I saw do a flip. It's a bit hard to spot in the first shot, but he's launching off the rock on the right hand side of the shot, about halfway up. If it's too hard to see, click on the pics for high-res versions:










And four shots of another drop:








Like I said, I'll split this post into one or two more so the pages don't take forever to load, be sure to check them out, especially for the shot of the 100ft drop!
