Update: I just talked to Mt. Bachelor, they don't seem to see hardbooting as a legitimate interest and will charge so much for us to be able to have demo's that it makes no sense. I told him that we're coming anyway. I am now working with group sales to get us discounted tickets. There will be Thirst Snowboards to demo but it most likely will not involve a demo tent. I'm still not sure about the UPZ boots and SG bindings. But we will have boards, and riders and groomers to trench.
Moderators, feel free to move this to the ride board as I don't know how. See you in Bend, I'm buying the first round.
