The Grand Prix Olympic qualifiers weren't the only big event going on at Copper Mountain, Colorado this past weekend. Copper organized a Paul Mitchell Progression Session at the bottom of the mountain which involved a massive butter box set up and a rail. Sounds simple, but don't be fooled. The butter box was about 15 feet high, and sat in the middle of a huge stepdown jump–not for the faint of heart.

Man-sized butter box.
A basic flat rail awaited at the bottom of the course. Simple, but tons of possibilities.
