Who's in. I'll be there with a few friends. We went last year and had a blast. Those in charge put on a first class event. I've been looking forward to it all season.

Trip to Taiwan was postponed, so I may make the trip up for the day. Hopefully they will get some snow before then (another iffy storm comin' up again Fri/Sat) as that would allow me to bring the rest of the family up, or at least the older kids. Oh, and some fresh show to soften the bumps would be nice. If I can't make it this year, I will next, when I would get to be the young'un in the 40-49 category. Yikes, that makes me feel old, no offense to the over 40 crowd intended ;).

Walt is a patroller who has been at Gore for a very long time. He is a really good guy. Gore used to call the contest the cocoa butter open, but that was lame!

I'll be at Gore, but I won't be in the contest . . . I got some other stuff to do . . .

Good luck, though.

Last year they had 3 with a big one at the end, but they where not mandatory.

You have some guys that are unreal good plus the NYSEF kids, but mostly it's skiers who are fairly to somewhat competent at skiing them who are there to have a good time. It really is a lot of fun, get in.
