That's not a ski-off, that's a bump competition.....learn the difference.

http://www.killingtonzone.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22057&hilit=ski+off+rules

SKI-OFF Rules:

- A ski-off is very similar to a game of H-O-R-S-E

- One person selects a route down the mountain, the general skiing style, and the speed, describing it to the other person.

- That person skis what they described. The other person follows and tries to keep up.

- The leading person should stop occasionally if desired and monitor that the other person is indeed skiing the proper route (ie. not bailing from the woods onto a trail), the proper speed, and technique.

- If the person following skis better, faster, or takes a more difficult line - they rule. If the follower skis worse, slower, or takes a easier line, they suck.

- Once this run is concluded, this is repeated with the other person getting to call the run.

- The opponents will switch back and forth until someone's overall superiority is determined, or someone is injured.

- Pretty much anything goes, except for physically assaulting your opponents or otherwise interfering with their run.

- The event can be judged or videotaped by impartial observers.

- It is possible to run this event with more than 2 people, or in teams.

Any questions????

a no holds barred chinese downhill at sundown. thats not gonna raise the heart rate too much.


HS, here's my sincere suggestion. eliminate, for this particular venue, the restrictions on physically assaulting your competitor. to make up for the decidedly mundane terrain you'll be competiting on, you need to add a Mad Max element to it. Clubs, bats, knives nail guns. something along those lines. first one to bleed out loses.

Jersey yo!!
I would like to participate in this Asian skiing thing. Where do I sign up? Are GS turns mandatory? Will weapons be required? Is there full contact involved?

This is not K-zone. So one of the Sundown bump comps is my proposition for an AZ ski-off. It will be independently judged so it's a fair measure of skill. Surly, you're not intimidated by a little flat hill like Sundown, are you? I wouldn't imagine so considering you felt compelled to crack on the place on K-zone already. I was obviously joking about 2knees putting you up for the night, but I meant it when I said I'd cover your lift ticket.

Come on Highway Gnar, this is your chance to shine, and finally validate all the trash talking you've done on various sites for years. You will be able to school a whole bunch of AZers all at one time. This could be the shining moment in your skiing career so don't let the opportunity slip away. I would recommend waiting for the March comp on Gunbarrel because I'm sure Temptor would be too easy for you. Plus that will give all of us some more time to practice. God knows we're going to need it. The spring comp should also have plenty of video coverage so we will then all have footage of the phenom that is Highway Gnar to ogle over for years to come. Perhaps we can learn some things by watching your technique. At least you'd show us a level of skiing proficiency to aspire to.

Seriously, even if you just finish in the top 50% of the the AZers that compete, I'll give you props. It's just a friendly little competition. For real.

What say you?

i thought you were serious. Dee was ok with it, although she said the concept of a ski off was gayer then a bag of dicks.

I would never speak for you like that. Perhaps we can all pool some money and put Highway Gnar up for the night somewhere. I'll take the kid out for beers too.
