Summer Skiing
6 months ago
The first project for a field production class at Robert Morris University was completely open ended. Topic, length, style was complete up to us students as a way for the professor to gauge our current abilities and help structure the class.
I followed my roommate Clark and his cousin Andy to Ohio Dreams Action Sports Camp on one of their trips to use their summer skiing ramp.
The ramp at the time was constructed out of wood and then covered with a white outdoor carpet. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels could come to this artificial mountain and practice tricks, landing safely in a pool below. An attendant would trigger one of 3 sets of jets under the water to bubble before the skiier would hit the water to break the surface tension to soften the fall.
