Frosty the Snowman WINS the 2011 Mission Ridge Dummy Downhill

Complimenting The Incredible Hulk in the Dummy Downhill was Matt & Bryce's Frosty the Snowman. Kurt was happy to see the Hulk win "Judge's Choice" earlier, but the big prize was the season pass for whoever airs it out the farthest off the jump. Frosty is an excellent design - basically a sled mounted on top of skies, with lead sheets for weight. Combined with Bryce's incredibly super-slick wax job makes it a strong competitor to the previous champion Marvin the Martain. The best part for me was hanging out with this great group of people who were a ton of fun during my three perfect days in Wenatchee.

Pre-race: Vaughn & Cindy, Bryce, Frosty, Merideth & Matt, Slater, Hulk, Kurt, Cindy
