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?

Sorry Greg. You need to know what you are challenging people to. A "SKI-OFF" is a ski-off, doesn't matter if it's in CT or VT or K-zone or TGR or A-zone. The definition and the rules are the same and have been in place for quite some time now.

A mogul comp is not a ski-off, and if I wanted to do a mogul comp, I could do the BMMC.

You challenged me to a ski-off, not a bump comp. I'm still game, but I guess you're backing out.

I have to agree with HighWay Star..not everybody spends 99 percent of their time on seeded bumps....in a true ski-off an all mountain skier will shine..not a one trick poney..

Did you define "ski-off"? How do you judge that thing? It seems a little vague to me. I also don't like the whole injury component so I guess I am backing out then. You win.

So...let me officially challenge you to compete in one of the Sundown bump comps against us. What do you say?

can i take his place then? I dont want to do it for any other reason then to say i actually took part in this one of a kind event.

I'm dead serious. But i do ask that we are allowed one weapon of choice. i simply can not compete based on skill level alone for i would be sorely out matched. I'm not talking about anything with deadly force. something harmless, like a stun gun or a tazer.

Temptor is hardly skiing like a seeded bump course right now. Some gnarley deep troughs and big snowmaking whales. By watching someone try to style that short little stretch, I think you can get a feel for what somebody's skill level is.

I'll extend the offer to you too, GSS. Lift ticket is on me. Join us!

Feel the fun! Ski Sundown! :cool: :lol:

I don't agree...a true expert skier would/should have no problem with taking any of the CLITS on in the bumps...

I believe it stands for Connecticut Legit Intense Terrain Seekers. It is a backhanded slap from highpeaksdrifter to a group of us CT skiers. Apparently he is grumpy and doesn't like the fact that we have a great time skiing 600' feet of vert and shooting movies in the bumps. We call him an ANUS. Not sure what it sands for though...

I say who cares what other people think, you guys are having a blast on 600' vert and making the best of it.

Many years from now you can look at those vids and they will bring you a smile of joy.... that's what its all about.

Again, right here:

http://forums.alpinezone.com/44518-oh-snap-its-3.html#post363546

It's been defined and posted multiple times on K-zone, plus epicski and TGR. If you are not aware by now.....

Winner is determined by:

"The opponents will switch back and forth until someone's overall superiority is determined,"

Obiviously, if you are injured and cannot continue, you lose.

I think that's pretty clear.

(no, I am not coming down for a sundown mogul comp)

Bummer. Why not? Do you suck at bumps?

Do you still offer official Highway Gnar clinics? Would you give us lowly skiers one at little Sundown? It would be a true honor to host you. Again, lift ticket is on me. For real.

Isn't that awfully subjective? Who determines this?

I'm sorry but you boys are just being plain STUPID. Man up, grow a set, and stop this nonsense. Who gives a F? Really?

Can you say "overcompensating"?

Geez.... :roll:

It's actually "Skiing the Highway Way"....and since there is no gnar at sundown, I don't see how there could be a clinic there.

:razz: I think you're totally missing the tongue-in-cheek nature of this thread. At least that's the case with me.
