Terrain Park

Snowmass recently hosted the 2007 X-Games. The terrain park used for many of the Extreme Snowboard events is still intact. We took this opportunity to show our vast skills in this arena and took several runs to shred the gnar gnar. Unfortunately my table top run was deleted before I could download it, but there are some good shots of Riley on that section. The clips are relatively short. Enjoy

Small jump

We found this little jump on the way down and shot a little clip of each person hitting it. I was taking the video so you won't get to see the backside rodeo 540 I threw on it before sitting down to take these shots. The clips are short.

The Gondola to Elk Camp

Here at Snowmass they have several Gondolas that will whisk you to the top of the hill. They are very convenient and warm and will hold pretty much our entire group. We have a great time craking jokes on the way up but they require great skill in properly exiting them. We McLaughlin's have worked hard to perfect such a maneuver with military perfection. This video shows exactly that.

Meet the family

The morning of day 2 and I thought it was about time you meet the whole famn damily. You have to understand that members of the McLaughlin clan are two things.
1.)Socially retarded
2.)Competitive
Put us all together and it becomes a competition to see who can be the least socially acceptable. Believe me... it's a curse.

This video will introduce you to the accused.

The scenery

It is really hard to express just how beautiful it is up here. The camera just doesn't do it justice. We are so high up and everything is so clear and crisp. It's just incredible. This video tries to give you some idea where we are in all of this. Enjoy.

The first ride to the top

We got to the mountain and the McLaughlin boys (Darrin, Riley and Darrin's littlest brother Tommy) got on the high speed 6 seater and took it to the top. Share our excitement. Enjoy the video.

Arrival in Aspen

So we arrived in Aspen late last night and when we popped in on those already here... well... it was a little bit of a surprise. We had a very energetic and excited moment when we first walked in. Unfortunately we did not have the video running so we re-staged it for the video. My family are very particular so we were up for an hour and 12 takes later, we finally got a version of it we could all live with. Enjoy the video.
