Hopefully it's not all ice bumps. I won't be skiing in it, though I have been doing a good bit of mogul skiing the last few weekends.

I'm more intersted how this whole concert deal is going to play out. Will the parking lot be like a concert tailgate scene? The Bear Mountain lot has roughly 1000 parking spots.....

ya, it sounds like they are going to ease up a bit on the byob.
but i'm still gonna check out the beer garden ($4.00 16oz beers is cheap enough for me to not sit in the parking lot drinking my own)

no doubt! good to meet you as well, the contest was a blast (even though i skied like shit)

This is a huge step in the right direction! This is the way Sunday River runs the Bust N' Burn and it works. Those bag checks that Killington had the past two years were BULLSHIT! Looks like maybe BMMC may start returning.

I thought you skied great! Feel free to do it again this weekend :grin:

 

[SkiDork]

agreed, but the moe scene will be different than the traditional camp site scene, I think.

 

[2knees]

with the premature snow today and the rock bottom temps thursday, friday and friday night, what do you guys think they're gonna do for the course? Pardon my ignorance, but would they run the comp on bullet proof bumps?

 

[SkiDork]

let me see if I can get some insider info from the course builders. Stay tuned. I might be working the course, along with Iceman

 

[moguler6]

They will surely run it with rock solid bumps.

Might we be seeing a quick top dressing from the snowmakers?? Or will they winch OL as soon as it freezes up, re-seed the course, and then get the KMS crew to ski them in ASAP????

 

[deadheadskier]

temps would allow for snowmaking for sure. Seems to me the event would be worthy of some fresh.

 

[moguler6]

There is no chance in hell they will turn on the guns. They will seed and let skiers ski them in on Friday.

 

[Greg]

Good luck to all the AZer competing.

 

[Geoff]

I disagree. I'd think there is a pretty good chance they will blow snow on the course. 10 guns. 1 compressor. Two of the full-timers to set the guns. Compared to the rest of the money they have sunk into the event, it's chump change.

 

[SkiDork]

from the horses mouth:

As far as the weather goes? We will run the event on any type of snow as long as it is safe. I agree rock hard conditions are not ideal, but what can you do? I have delayed the building of the course to Wed night, which is the latest day I am comfortable with to build the venue. The theory there is the longer i can wait the better chance I will have of having a better course.

 

[Rogman]

Guns and hoses are still on OL. They dug 'em out a bit after that last storm. They could, they might.
