Thaller, last year was my first time racing. I was a bit angsty the first night. I failed to hit the NASTAR course previous o race night...so my first run wasn't pretty...OR quick.

However, when I got the bottom, and hadn't made a fool of myself (by falling or getting tangled in the gates)...I was completely "over" the angst" and intot he thrill.

So, relax. Do some NASTAR runs beofre you race (if you can get acess), and just have fun. You are racing against yourself (despite the character in the lane next to you).

MY BIGGEST MISTAKE....turning AT the gate vs apexing @ the gate. Still working on that one but it certainly gets easier to do once someone tells you about it. *smirk*

ENJOY!!

..and good luck trying to figure out that handicap system.

What kind of skis were you on? There were some tele skiers at Cannon yesterday really ripping it up. Karhu's?

Edit: Actually after looking at your avatar I think you were one chair ahead of me on the peabody quad one ride up. :???:

You couldn't miss me. I was the 6'3" guy who forgot his coat and had to ski in a bright yellow rain coat. I was on my ScottyBobs as the Karhus are in the shop being mounted. It was easier than me spending the time to do it in between watching my son.

Well with our son still waking up 2-3 times a night and my wife being a new teacher, she has decided she doesn't have time to race on Monday nights. So we now have an opening on our race team at Pat's Peak on Mondays. Let BobR or me know if you are interested and we'll give you all the details. First race is Monday January 8.

Broke out the new Rossi's sunday. What a pair of rocket sleds. Hopefully I will get them in a few gates this weekend and see how they really turn.

Nice. I assume Sneaux has the Nastar gates on Charlie's during the weekend? Might have to take a trip over there this weekend intead of the usual human gate practice I've been taking @ K. Still haven't broken out the new 'sticks yet, guess it's time!

tree_skier · Jan 2, 2007

They plan on having nastar going this weekend on charlie's but that is weather dependant. There may be a J4 race on sunday using charlies as the other options are limited.

Vortex · Jan 2, 2007

Hey kids we need to show up Monday night for the 1st Race. Again we are racing Monday MLK weekend as well.

Like last year the 1st night is a pain. We need to sign release waivers get our race badges and all that. We can get there any time after 3. Try to arrive a bit early if you can. I have timing issues myself on Manday, and won't be able to do all the stuff in advance.

New flash news flash.

SkiBum9995 is know on board. I am forwarding his info to Pats this afternoon. We have 7 folks know. Welcome him to the gang. Very cool.

roark · Jan 2, 2007

Cool, welcome skibum9995.

I wonder if we'll be racing on Downdraft (the public Nastar course) - neither Twister or FIS are open yet (although the snow report does mention snowmaking on lower Twister twice).
Regardless, looking forward to it!:beer:

ga2ski · Jan 2, 2007

Guys - Since Bob may be late, I plan to be there by 5 on Monday. I'll gather all the info from Sarah, the race secretary, if you haven't already done so by the time I get there. I plan to hit the lift around 5:30 so we can get good start positions. Let me know if you will be later than 5:30 and we will make other arrangements.

BTW - the waranteed Karhus are mounted and ready. Hopefully I get to make some turns on them this weekend.

roark · Jan 2, 2007

I'm hoping to get up there as early as 4, workload permitting. We'll see...

roark · Jan 3, 2007

I'm going to miss Februay the 12th. CO trip!!!! :daffy:

Roark if you are, pick up our tags and our liability forms. See Sarah(She is the Race secretary, you will remember her from last year.) She will be outside the sled pub .That will help alot. I have isssues at work. Looks like I can get there 5ish at best. As of 1 pm today it was 7pm so its getting better.

Ga2ski is coming around 5pm. He has said he will help. I don't have anyone to help at work this up coming Monday so leaving early has been a big deal.
