carvedog Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yes that's right a 2000 v feet downhill course at Soldier Mtn in central Idaho. North of Twin Falls, south of Ketchum. The open class is next Tuesday with a training run in the morning and a timed run in the afternoon. Think your fast, ever done downhill on a board and you will reevaluate. I was timed on Monument face a few years ago at this race at 65 mph and I nearly crapped shiny new speed suit. the cost is $30 for the race and $30 for the ticket. This is a small ski area that is normally closed on Tuesday so it is all for the racers. Good party after too. There is a USSA downhill on Wednesday too. Two runs must have a license etc. Contact me if you need more details. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Bummer. I have to be in Seattle that day. That would have been fun. I just mapquested it to see how far it was before I realized I have to travel that day. Mapquest says 775 miles and 12.5 hrs. Either that or a $375 r/t on Southwest. Too bad I can't blow off my client. Please give us more warning next time. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I just called today to find out when it is, as it is usually late Feb or March. and he says "oh it's next week". There is a big Super G (about 2300 vertical) that runs late March or early April. It is actually a combined event, bumps on Saturday and Super G on Sunday you can do either or. I've won that a couple times cause there are only about three of us in the bumps and then I usually do pretty fair in the Super G. Thanks for the interest.
