There's no way they are going to make any special arrangements when creating this course. It is what it is. I think I have skied this event in every kind of weather....flash flooding, freezing rain and blue bird and they never do anything different in terms accomodating for the weather. Each element is a different challenge to make the event that more interesting. The hard pack this year will make for some interesting carnage on the mountain. Just hope it's not me! So who's going to be up there?

Killington website speaks of snowmaking and Albany weather is hinting at some natural Thursday night.

actually i remember one year when they did blow on the course the night before the event so it's not unprecedented. but that was a different company ...

looks more then long enough to me..:razz:

sundown has no choice except to run it almost the full length of the trail. the middle is essentially flat. certainly not the case with o.l.
