Your soooo cooool. I got invited too but told them to stick their contest up their asses, I ski for soul.

I actually read the thing now, that seems pretty cool. Though Im not sure how you are supposed to ski through a mine, does it snow underground in Canadia?

Nice! Sounds like a cool comp. So, who's your biggest competition?

Help me understand your cool kid talk.

**FJ62** · 01-23-2007, 01:25 PM

It's a typo... they meant to say "Amazing skiers in abandoned mimes."

Should be quite a scene.

**Buzzworthy** · 01-23-2007, 01:31 PM

"The athlete roster for Cold Rush represents some of the top talent in the world, including: Mark Abma who skis out of Whistler, BC; Rory Bushfield, Whistler; Eric Hjorleifson, Whistler; Andy Mahre, Yakima, Washington; and Chris Rubens, Revelstoke, BC. "

Time to kill it like you been doing! Sweet.

It's no Flugtag, but hell, sounds like a sick contest. Congrats!

**ryank** · 01-23-2007, 02:38 PM

Yeah, looking forward to this one - it's a hike up and ski down race.

Again, all of you know how sick of a venue Roberts is.

The race doesn't actually go through any underground mine tunnels, it just starts at the site of the old mine near Red Mountain, then I believe there's a skin up Granite, then up Roberts, then a ski back down.

no douglas? hm.

good luck alka. can i watch you on tv?

**Conundrum** · 01-23-2007, 03:26 PM

Congrats! It's cool watching people take skiing to those levels.

**ArmadaBC** · 01-23-2007, 03:44 PM

That is going to be so sick, take it to the next level man.

**jrbd** · 01-23-2007, 03:52 PM

Yeah, that bit about "dropping in" and "skiing through the gold mine" definitely sounds unique. Hard to televise, though.

au contraire....I'm sure they'll have cameras on wires down the whole mine shaft, as well as significant lighting....I bet the footy will make everyone very aroused.

**ak_powder_monkey** · 01-23-2007, 04:04 PM

Do they make you camp at the top cause that'd be sick! Good luck dude I'm sure you'll kill it

**mntlion** · 01-23-2007, 04:40 PM

**Long duc dong** · 01-23-2007, 05:27 PM

Good luck, that sounds awesome. Hope you guys get good snow, I'd really like to see some good footage of people going off.

Come on Mntlion you know Alberta's not cool they "have" to be from Whistler.

**teamdirt** · 01-23-2007, 07:41 PM

Yeah-MTLion didn't you know they sold out to cooler areas. jeez didn;t you watch entertainment tonight and get the gossip?

Is it coincidence that most of the athletes are Salomon athelets? I smell corporate blow job!

**snoboy** · 01-23-2007, 08:04 PM

I'm pretty sure that the course will go through the open pit molybdenum (look it up - it's used for lubes) mines on the W side of Red, not into the underground gold mines.

Mike Hopkins mini-golf in said mines when I was there last year
