Bumpity bump bump. A week and a half to go. I have already seen a bunch of hardbooters out practicing for the circle carve. :biggthump

If you have not visited the site, the event is next Friday, February 8, 2008 at Bear Creek Mountain Resort and Conference Center.

www.skibearcreek.com

If you are going to be anywhere near the mid-atlantic at that time, plan on attending.

Last year's limbo champ just emailed me tonight that he might not make it due to injury, so all of the previous limbo participants may have a better chance now.:D

I really wanted to be there this year but its just not going to work. My wife and I won't be able to make it. Its a 6 hr drive, I have an EMT class till 10pm on Thursday and we have to patrol on Saturday morning at 7am. Hope everyone who does go has a great time. Catch you all next year!

Wow, what a great day - even though we had our lowest turnout since our inception. This was no doubt due to the poor weather patterns. One foot of slush does not make for the best carving event, but we were given lemons and we made lemonade.

Last year there were just under fifty, this year there were just under fifteen.

When you get turnout for a foot of slush and some bare spots, though, you know that you are getting the die hards. These guys had the best attitudes you could have. A great time was had by all.

Special thanks go out to Neil Sunday for setting up gates, doing the race clinic, and running the race. Thanks to Fred P. for timing us.

Snowscaper was a big help to me personally and congrats to him for completing his first ever circle in spite of the adverse conditions.

Thanks to Mark Brown for helping with the gates.

It was a terrible day for a limbo, but JBS showed us that it was not impossible (right after he blew everyone away on the race course - by a lot). We also have some progressive captures of what it looks like to fold the nose - along with the ensuing carnage. I will post that as soon as I get it together.

WVrocks - we missed you. Hope you can come next year.

Bear Creek turned out to be a great venue - especially the race trail.

P.S. I would certainly be remiss if I did not mention my Mom - without her help babysitting the twirps, i could not have gotten this thing together. Thanks Mom.
