I will one up you...how about a biathlon type event?

A timed top to bottom run down Gunny. Get to the bottom, change into riding gear and then a ten mile (or 5 mile) MTB ride ending back the lodge. Change into you ski gear and then one more top to bottom run down the bumps. Lowest total time wins. That would be a truly unique and awesome event.

i'd be up for it,

only issue i know of would be the lack of a legal mountain bike trail...

"no bikes on blue blazed trails" .... wouldn't go over well

nepaug isn't far... but i don't see it working.

I would think you could get an exemption from the local land manager for the event. I also like Brian / Grassi's idea of making it tri-athlon with a hike up the hill after the MTB phase to then do the final bump run........

just a reminder... there is a slopestyle and big air on the same day... both with cash prizes.

who's gunnin for 2,500 dollars?

This is a fantastic idea worthy of reposting here:

I was talking to Chris S. about the format for the bump comp and he really liked my idea that the we have the top 24 qualify instead of a top 16. The twist to my idea to get the brackets to work is that the top 8 will get a first round bye. The remaining 16 battle it out head to head. The 8 left of that 16 then ski the top 8.

If there is a really huge turn out don't rule out 32 qualifiers.

Gives hacks like me hope of at least qualifying... :lol:

Chris was thinking of starting it a little above mid station, but is open for suggestions. I stopped around that area and looked down, definitely one long run.

I just hope they dont close gunny completely to the public. All of us will get one run and then be sitting on our arses the rest of the afternoon. I cant imagine how stinkin drunk i'll get if that's the case......

I'm hoping there's enough for 32 qualifiers, like 32 people.

I imagine that they'll have the sections not being used open to the public.

Sounds good to me!

If the upper section of Gunny is open then we can have the losers comp there, there's even something resembling kickers up there. :lol: Losers buy the beer! :beer:

Depending on the turn out I might be a pure spectator. Seems like a ton of talent will be participating. Plus the wife and kid should be up so I can hang with them and watch.

All you guys have got to sack up and enter! Who cares if you get blown out of the water in the qualification round?

Gary, I'm entering, so you know there's going to be at least one person there worse than you..
