They're actually going to be at my parents' house all day. Nobody in my family skis so they have no interest in being there (which is probably for the best; otherwise, I'd likely not have babysitters for as long). The kids are only 3.5 and 1.5 years old, so they likely would get bored quickly anyway. Next year.Carrie - will your kids be at the mountain? Would love to introduce my kids to them..

dude... It's just a box of rain... Mellow out.....
Chris/Jarrod. do you guys have any preliminary idea of where on gunny you'll set the course up and how long it'll be?
It would seem the flat area where the old unloading station is would be an ideal ending point, although that last stretch of bumps is mint right now.
mellow out?
yeah, i'm all fired up over here. now go post something about iceman.
I think you can handle where ever they put it. you hit that well last night.
funny, you dont notice the pitch as much with the bumps on it then when its a sheet of blue ice. :smile:
I added a poll to this thread. Chris asked for some feedback on where to put the course. I think it depends on what the goal here should be. If we want to try to come as close to WC, I think it should be from where the steep part starts down to the flat area near midstation. Not sure if there's enough snow there to support it, and the lines aren't the best either. It also means they'll probably have to groom a finish area near midstation (yuck).
One thought yesterday was to start part way up the steep pitch and bring it to the bottom. That puts the whole flat area in play which is, well, flat. But the benefit of that is there is more visibility for spectators at the bottom. The second kicker can go somewhere near the top of that final pitch which would be cool for people watching from the bottom. It also keeps the upper half of the mountain open for free skiing that day. I think those are the two best options. Just running on the lower stretch is too short IMO. If you have other suggestions, post them here.
