Curious why misery whip for a bump comp? It's a cool trail, but there are other trails I'd pick for a comp.

Or use their day camp if you gots the cash. http://www.sugarloaf.com/SkiSchool/kids_programs.html

I'm *really* considering it if they end up having a deal good enough to bring the family up.

I don't. Hence the hope for free babysitting back at home. ;) Besides, it would be hard enough keeping up on homework between the festivities--the rugrats would make that impossible. Mama deserves a vacation, too! :D

Don't look at it as a WC style bump comp. It's not supposed to be, but rather an old school throw-down! 8) Seriously, I think it's going to be pretty casual, and meant just for fun/bragging rights. Not even sure how it will be judged. Might just be a timed event. The Whip is an ass kicker and should be a hoot watching everyone try to get down in one piece as quick as possible. It was also selected since it's easy to rope off from the general skiing public.

In my mind, northern New England
Nice! Congrats to all of those who put this together. My smile got wider and wider as I read the article. I'm clearing my calendar on that weekend! Thanks!

AZ invades SL! (I'm reminded of that scene in Caddyshack where the caddies invade the pool.)

Alright, how do we tell who's an AZ'er or not? Secret handshake?

What happens if you're a passholder?

What do you mean, I was going to let you do the 7 hours of driving.

If we can swing this, you can car pool with me and Randi.


Nice work Greg! This should be an awsome event, you really rasied the bar for future AZ outtings.

Could go either way. 2 years ago they got like 100 inches in April.

No real experience at the Loaf at that time of year, but I'd imagine, we have an equal chance of sweet spring skiing, deep powder, or frozen granular. Cross your fingers for one of the first two... :lol:
