Sun Valley’s second annual Dollar Holler Rail Jam and Slopestyle Expedition took off Saturday under sunny skies and pleasant temperatures as Sun Valley professional photographer Marc Longley took his place to capture the action
Then the clouds came in and the wind began blowing from the top of Dollar Mountain paring the crowd to a hundred spectators.
The athletes worked off two large jumps to the right of Half Dollar Lift, their landing areas between 40 and 60 feet below the ramps.
The young acrobats launched backwards, turning forwards into their spins, twists, inversions and iron crosses.
And when done they needed no encouraging to head back to the top.
