WesE, I've got a question for you. Will my Bozi 36 be sufficient, or will the course be geared toward typical slalom boards? Thinking about coming out earlier to bomb the right side so I might as well race slalom if my board will make the course. If it's just going to be a longer version of tight, w...

Ha! I love being the scapegoat. Slides right off my back. I don't think I was speaking for the slalom end of things (they definitely don't me as their representative and spokesman), but from a downhill prospective, if it ain't raining, we're skating. Everyone should know that. And I never saw a drop...

Are you planning this Fountainhead race as an alternative to the Gathering or as a supplement? Plus, use the right side for something.
