    Skiercross time!

    Next four Sundays in a row, at Mt. Slow. I should be in for the whole series--anyone else??
    Elevens said he might get there for one, they're usually pretty fun and some pretty decent prizes (usually) for placing, plus sometimes a few good draw-prizes.

    Is that the Palmer skierX? That's what we have at Attitrash. They don't let you use your poles in our series. I didn't think it would be a big deal until I'm getting airborn, then it feels all fucked up. It sucks. Good luck over there.

    Yeah, but we use poles...WTF, how can they have a rule like that? I know guys who have raced at Attitash, and they didn't mention anything about that (it might've been before it was a 'Palmer' event, though). They did say it was a crazy course, though, but it was probably part of a different event.

    Dex only flies the friendly skies.
    It's idomatic, beatch.

    Big motherfuckin' skis!!!!
    Actually, my first few (four years ago?) I was on 205's, I've been on 196's for the past few years, and this year I'm dropping to a 186. All GS boards, race stock. For a very turny course it probably makes sense to use a 175 SL board or non-FIS legal GS ski, but mine have always been legit. GS skis.
    Good wax/structure (tough sometimes) is key for the start.

    I'm thinking of entering Dex and can pretty much say that the skis I bring will be turning heads. Big is an understatement.

    why make ten turns when you only need to make NONE!

    While I'm not sure I like the way the beginning of your post sounds, I know you'll be bringing a pretty impressive set of sticks. With good wax I imagine you'll be good at the start.

    Bump for anyone aside from Elevens who might make it.
    Don't forget--same deal the following three Sundays in a row.

    And again...
    Best part is they finally got their shit together and restored the competitor lift tix, so it's only $25 if you need a ticket. Good race last week, slightly dangerous course, hopefully they'll do a little better job this weekend.

    Skiercross is now an event in the Special Olympics? Good luck Dex!

    But you've gotta be pretty damn stupid to respond to people who can't hear you, right? Few people are that dumb...
