The head of course construction, Kona Clump team rider Grant “Chopper” Fielder, puts all his creative power into the design for 2010: “I will stick to a similar finish with the step up step down part leading towards some big ass jumps, as I believe that the riders really liked these big hitters last time as well as it is a great spectator’s point. But there will be some changes near the top, to improve this section that was pretty challenging due to the pretty soft snow last time. The riders that liked the last set up will like it even better this year. I’m hoping to get a snow igloo in there somewhere too!”
Ben Boyko, new cut.
