^ yea just not sure in what capacity...i'm usually long gone before the first runs will go off

This past Sunday I did not get on the slopes until 10:30 because I was tuckered out from Hunter the day before.

But the quad VIP was empty ( again not so for the 6pac) which made for many many runs in the corn. Bumps were awesome as you well know too. I'm guessing the crowds will start thinning real soon???

Bottom line, staying later will be worth it IMHO.

Root, I'll be spectating.

Should be a fun day. Tail gate season is starting and I'll be armed with a cooler full of bubba burgers and some brewskis if anyone is interested.

n jump :daffy: from paskiandride iroyt:

"We built the bumps last night and tonight we will be building the jumps. There are a total of 5 mogul lines to choose from. 2 of the lines will have jumps in them. One jump at the top and one at the bottom. The other lines will not have jumps in them for those competitors that do not want to do jumps. The format will depend on the number of competitors that enter but here is the plan we are going with. Each competitor will get at least one run that will be scored. If there are not many competitors then each competitor will get 2 runs. The best of the 2 runs will be taken. The top 3 competitors in each age group will get medals. Again depending on the number of competitors we will take (roughly) the top 16 men and the top 16 women who will then go on to the duals in a round robin format (you lose the dual, you're out). The duals will continue until only 2 competitors are left. The top 4 men and top 4 women in the duals will get prizes. The duals will determine the overall winner.

Scoring is based on quality of turns, jumps and speed. 50% of the total score is for turns, 25% jumps and 25% speed. You are not required to do jumps but you will get scored a zero for jumps if you don't.

Registration is $15 and helmets are required. Registration is from 8-10:30. Course is open for practice 9-11 and competition starts at 12. The weather looks great for Saturday. Sunny and hi of 45 so the show will be nice and soft. It will be a lot of fun so I encourage everyone to come out and compete. "

Yeah...so anyway sorry I'm a little late with the TR on this. I got pics and video to go through but overall it was a success. Bumps were a little rocky (pun intended) at the start..add in a 35 minute late start and they soften up pretty well. Everyone was having a lot of fun, and they are planning to do it again next year. More to come...
