Day Thirteen - only two shifts left and props from the CBC :)

So I'm getting ready to head out to Cypress for tonight's Men's Aerials. If you are wondering why the competitors prefer jumping at night, it is because the large spotlights on venue don't leave any flat lighting, which makes seeing the landing better. Also, the T.V. broadcasters prefer it because during a cloudy day when a skier jumps, they get 'lost' in the air, and therefore does not make for a pretty picture on your television screens at home. So, there you have it.

Besides, doesn't it look amazing at night, with the lights and the gallery below?

Here's a little something I came across from the CBC website on volunteers. It could have been a bit more comprehensive, but still, it's nice exposure.
