Did any AZ-ers make it up for this?

We did, but didn't enter. Watched for a bit from the bottom, then decided the skiing was too good to stand there. ;-) Scanned the crowd but didn't see your hats.

My wife and I watched some of the kids go down. After that, we made some more turns. We stopped skiing around 1 then hit the brewfest. Jeff and I had the Glade-iator hats on and rescued our cardboard fangun from the tubing hill shack. We brought it right into the fest.

The Glade-iator was a cool event. I think I'll try and enter it next year.

I was up there also with my wife and kids. We watched from the bottom...they kicked 2 kegs, 100 burgers and 100 dogs down there. What a fun time. Glenn....I was talked to someone with a gladiator hat at the beerfest for a few.....I wonder if it was you?

The best thing about this weekend was...no matter how good the skiing was Saturday...it was even better Yesterday. I think yesterday was one of the best spring days I have ever skied...the snow was better yesterday....for 2 reasons...1) I don't think it got quite as warm and 2) there were far fewer people on the hill to chew it up.

What a fabulous spring weekend.....(now keeping fingers crossed for some decent weather for next weekend too!)>

If it was the tall guy, that was DrJeff. He was at the base of the competition for a while, but moved up past the burger/beer stand with us later. Unfortunately, I wasn't wearing my GLADEiator hat as it doesn't fit well over my helmet.

Vince summed it up nicely. If it was someone with big nose who looks 17, it was me. If It was a tall guy, Jeff.

I did have an extra Koozie I gave to a guy near the Bud trailer...was that you?

I didn't get a Koozie...and the guy wearing the gladiator hat...was, I'm having a bit of a memory lapse...I think he was wearing like a maroon t-shirt...and when I spoke to him it was at the beer fest up near the band tent, near the big rock.

I should have borrowed your hat, maybe could have gotten a few bonus points in the comp. Sure was a great time, hadn't done a mogul competition in about 10 years and was the first time I did one on tele skis. Was kinda wishing I had the regular skis for the jump though.

There were a few tele's in the comp. One made it into the top 3 if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, a tele guy got 2nd in the 50+. An old friend got 1st, nice to see he can still ski em so well at 56.

One interesting thing I noticed is my friend Paul, at age 35, was the only person in thier 30s in the men's 18-35 catagory.

I got 8th in 35-49. I think my run was pretty good from a technical standpoint but lacked excitement and pizazz. Didn't knock out any super quick turns and my jump was kinda lame.

Results are here...

That was probably Jeff. I was wearing a black "Mount Snowicane" t-shirt. Jeff was sporting a "Life is Crap" shirt that said "out of beer". :lol:

Yep, we were right up by the band. We moved the table a bit....it was LOUD! But the band was a really good.

If it was Jeff....a pleasure to have "met" you if only briefly...not really meet...but we had a couple of words. good ones... Frankly, I wasn't that into the band.....

Thanks Vince...I didn't take the pic, so I can't take credit, but I can take credit for my beautiful little ski bunnies...you should have seen my little one making turns!! She's going to be a ripper.
