ON TARGET

Meretta Says:
OK. He’s practicing his aerial freestyle jumps and landing in the water so he doesn’t hurt himself while there’s no snow!

YES! YES! — Meretta got it. (And Leanna kept mum ) If you ever wondered how they tried those crazy maneuvers without killing themselves, this is it. Below is the view from above the facility:

I could watch them for hours. The bubble jets are started with a hand-held control before the skier goes down the ramp — breaking surface tension for a softer landing (as long as you hit the bubbles). If you can see the small blue barrel along the far side of the pool, there’s a guy sitting in it, warming up.

Boot heap.
