And possibly more at elevation, from what I'm hearing!

Directions:

Those directions are spot on. Going over the bridge and past the paper mill will save a couple of minutes just make sure you hold your breath going by the mill. ;-)

Locals--I'm coming from Sunday River to Sugarloaf on Friday. Which route is best? How is the road from Rumford to Rangley? Is it bumpy still? What about the (longer) route up from Farmington?

RT 2 to RT 142 to kingfield was the way I went in feb from SR to Sugarloaf, nice drive and you don't have to go through farmington

Flat and fast.

Just the way I like it!! :flame:

I'll make sure to bring some tuning stuff with me just in case anybody needs some edges! Hook me up with a beverage or two and I'll make sure you've got something under foot that will slice and dice with ease.

More details:

AlpineZone Mogul Challenge:

Location – Upper Winter’s Way (start at intersection of Spillway X-cut and end at Midstation X-cut) – Natural, classic Eastern bump run. No snowmaking, never groomed, Volkswagen-sized bumps with little discernible rhythm. Unlike any other bump course.

Registration – The competition is free. Register at the AZ welcome party on Friday night. Last-minute stragglers can also register at the top of Upper Winter’s Way on the day of the comp.

Time – Saturday, March 27 - 11am-12pm

Format – Timed run. No turning or aerials judging. One run only. Best score wins. The spirit of the race is to foster fun competition between AZ members.

Award – You’ll be competing for bragging rights and a special award presented by Greg Blasko of AlpineZone. The award will be given at the AZ Après Party at the Widowmaker Lounge on Saturday from 3-5:30pm.

Unless we get some snow this week, this is going ot be a survival mode contest. Who's in?
