Ski Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 As of 11am, it's "still on at this point", according to the folks at Sno. Quote
Brian Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 I'll be impressed if they pull it off. There was more brown than white on the race trail (at least from what I could see from I-81). Quote
Ski Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 I'll be impressed if they pull it off. There was more brown than white on the race trail (at least from what I could see from I-81). Just from how shallow Switch's snow depth was on Sunday, I'm thinking it's about a 5% chance of being on. I sure wasn't expecting them to say it was still on. I'm def calling back a little later. If it's cancelled you can always hit up Blue for Nastar.... It's cloudy. They might close. Quote

Yeah. Who'd you talk to before? Quote

Bobert540 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 I got the same response when I called around 10am. I hope they make a def. call soon because I will be bummed if I drive 1hr+ lol. Just got an email... Hi League Racers! The Thursday Night League Races are on for tonight. We will be Timing the runs on Whistler Trail. I Quote
Bobert540 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 I just realized, how are we going to see on Whistler?? Quote
Brian Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah.. it'll be interesting. The first week I stopped 2 gates too early because I didn't see that the course continued. Quote
Ski Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 Holy, crap. Well, we survived that practice night and the slope wasn't even roped off. I guess it'll work. Quote
Bobert540 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 anyone have an extra headlamp?? Quote
Ski Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 anyone have an extra headlamp?? Matches, Bob. Whistler is actually kind of a fun slope for racing. It mixes things up, at least. The width allows for some off-set rhythm. I should email Dr. D and see what he recommends for dark snow. Quote

Ski Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 Glow in the dark gates? That would be awesome. The practice night we had was a lot like riding Disney's Space Mountain---an indoor roller coaster that whips you around in the dark. Glow in the dark gates would be perfect. You're racing tonight, right Melissa? Sign in as an independent between 5-6pm at the ski school chalet. Course opens at 6pm and closes around 8. Quote

I was five the first time I went to Disneyworld, and at the time, I was OBSESSED with haunted houses but HATED roller coasters. For some reason, I had it in my head that Space Mountain was a haunted house (I know, I know, I mustn't have been very bright as a child). Well, I wouldn't shut up about Space Mountain, so my dad was going to take me on it. The whole time we waited in line my parents were like, Melissa, are you SURE you want to go on this? Are you SURE? And I was like, Oh yeah def. Well, of course, we go on it and I was totally freaked out. I was like, OMG Dad why are we going so fast? I hated it, and it took me a good like 4 years to get on another roller coaster. No, I will not be racing tonight, however I THINK I'll be up skiing if my friend is feeling better. She is off from work today b/c she doesn't feel too hot, but she thinks she'll be okay to go over for a bit. OHhhhh maybe we'll stop in the bar though afterwards for the apres race specials... hmmm.

You used to be more fun. What happened, Melissa? Quote
Melissa Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 You used to be more fun. What happened, Melissa? My life got way busier. Seriously. I need to stop volunteering to do stuff. Quote
Ski Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Posted February 7, 2008 I need to stop volunteering to do stuff. Depends on the stuff, I guess. Quote
