We Got Dumped On At The KTO

When we arrived for the Kaunertal Opening, the clouds were relieving themselves over the valley like it was the atmosphere's shady restroom or something. We didn't get valid information on how big the dump actually was, but I suppose it ranged somewhere from "knee-deep" when you were standing to "head high" when you fell. After paying our dues to winter and a closed road on Friday, the weekend went off with a Method-approved mix of hazardous laps through the resort and cheap beers in the valley. Good times for sure! We were there to tell the tale, according to the standards of biased reporting. Read on!

Let's get everything started with this sweet video starring
