Glad to see your "informed".

Maybe you should shut your pie hole and learn to read! Where do you see that it is recommended that the pacesetter tuck each course for a CAP time? The CAP time is established for a "venue" not a course. The CAP time is established maybe once a year, not for each course. The CAP time is the same all year. Small variations could occur do to snow conditions but would have no impact. If you put 3 turns in a course you will be more than 5% off of CAP. I'm telling you that pacesetters don't do a CAP time run for each course. Remember what I said in a previous post: "Terminal velocity" is called Cap time, it's the time it takes to tuck the hill without gates. Sounds very much like your Nastar rules quote! The only way you can radically change a course to get close to the CAP time is to make it straight. Remember this from the same post: All it tells Nastar is if the courses are too straight. Ski............you know exactly what CAP time is but your soccer and baseball comparisons are off. Pacesetters do not check the CAP time each race. AtomicSkier...........Keep looking for those "Race Stock" stickers. Maybe Atomic can "inform" you of their location!

If you hear a loud train sound. It's probably a train.

Quick. Go in the basement.

Let's see a picture of the race stock sticker with the specs on it.

Don't get them all sticky! Down boy.

Did you say something?

I think the 200,000 people that are going to ride that lift take priorty over you getting to watch the install. Look at the pictures on the website and chill already.

They don't do that at BC or Nationals. Everything works off the par time. The pacesetter doesn't do a straight run down.

OK, before this turns into ANOTHER Ski/Rob fight, let me say this...........Be careful on those "Terminal Velocity" runs! You don't want your hair to catch on fire. That would be "Terminal"!

I don't remember.

What's up with the Freeride Skiing Program? Rumor has it Skier150 is gone. Any truth to that?

Huh? They don't suggest that! "Teminal velocity" is called Cap time, it's the time it takes to tuck the hill without gates. All it tells Nastar is if the courses are too straight.

If you miss a gate they DSQ you even though a time comes up.

Watch out for the steeps at BC! Don't blink when you get off the chair, you might end up in the lodge before you know it. I thought they were just starting a racing class this year. How can it be better than anyones? Nice lodge..............SHITTY HILL!

Oh that thing. That is a microwave oven. That's how big they were back in the day. Technology is amazing.

It's a wheel mount for the top of a sixpack tower.

Exactly what I'm saying. I'm not talking about signs. Call a customer a "gaper" to management and see how it goes over.

Did any of you ever stop and think about the fact that is up to Blue's management and Ski Patrol/Risk Management to come up with safety initiatives. Not us. You can bitch all you want but your arguments are so one sided. Management has to think about ALL of their customers. Calling customers "gapers" isn't going to help your case.

Please check in with Mark Miller before you try your new boards. Have him follow you down.

As Rain Man would say "I'm a good driver" How long were the skis?

Wow. I don't know where to start, so I won't. Enjoy the new boards.

From your post about edge angle and it being easier I wasn't sure you did. QUOTE(AtomicSkier @ Sep 28 2006, 11:56 AM) "I just have to get better edge angle, which should be easier, since they're 183s, should be more confident laying them over harder, vs my short 170's." Shorter and more sidecut is easier than longer and less sidecut.

A 183 at 24 meters is going to ski completely different than a 170/16m. Hang on! What's all this "race stock" talk. Are they hand picked skis for you? What is USCSA and why the restrictions?

Are your 170's GS or SL?
