Check out this awesome time-lapse of the front face at Copper Mountain shot by Dustin Henderlong. I love watching the chairs suddenly come on and then stop at the end of the day. The work on the half-pipe is fascinating, too. Posted from Frisco, Colorado, United States.

Most of the members of the U.S. Freeskiing and Snowboarding Half Pipe teams along with top athletes from around the world are here taking their turns dropping in.
