SEJ,
Thank you for the reply and welcome. SES definitely sounds like a blast and a good way to learn more about the sport and a way to meet some fellow carvers. I am seriously considering going this year, just need to start saving some funds. I have no idea how much on average the cost would be though. Maybe you could enlighten more on this or give me some additional contact information. I am 41/2 hours away from Snowmass, so my trip would be fairly short. Thanks again and have a great weekend.
