Have you raced NASTAR this year?

[Skier 4 Life]

Just for kicks, I'd encourage those who have or will race NASTAR this year to post their results including handicap, age-group ranking, etc. I know HPD mentioned he might give it a try again this year. How 'bout a little friendly competition?

BTW, it might be safer than to take on the 3.5 mile/longest run challenge that AdironRider suggested earlier today... at least during the weekend when most of us workin' stiffs get ta ski & ride. :roll:

:lol:... I guess I don't mind 'em... it certainly can be a challenge in itself. I just prefer to have stationary gates to work with when I wanna go fast. 8)

Don't do it. IT'S CRACK. HP is still in recovery. Only the yellow keeps him out. :shock:

No medicine needed, 'ol man. You're goin' down and you know it!

BTW, I left the Red Bull behind in my pack and took my one and only run down the course on my first run on Sunday. All after havin' a big lunch and findin' the course rutted up with plenty 'o ice. Guess those pair of Nordica SM 14 you sold me las' year were just what I needed! :wink:

Just cuz we can't race with the yellow on, doesn't mean HPD & I can't have a little fun on our days off, right :?: Why don't you join us, Jack?

Congrats to HPD...

for his first GOLD of the season at the Face last Sunday... and a 21 handicap... not too shabby. He even qualified for Nationals while skiing at Gore earlier this year... job well done!

P.S. I knew it was only a matter of time 'til he got that GOLD!

Thanks, I was getting frustrated coming so close and not breaking through. Speaking of Gore there is a bump contest there the Sat. before the Apple Butter, we shoud get the crew and enter.

Apple Butter Warm-up?

Speaking of Gore there is a bump contest there the Sat. before the Apple Butter, we should get the crew and enter.

I'd love to give it a try... it'll be a nice warm-up to the Apple Butter comp. BTW, any idea what time and trail its on?

Bottom part of Hawkeye, you register between 8:30 and 10:00 so I'm guessing about 11:00.

Good for you, racing NASTAR is alot of fun. As you keep doing it and see your handicap get lower it becomes addictive.

If you ask Ken or Bill at the start house for tips to get your times down they'll give you some good pointers. Both are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Got my handicap to 41% today... allrighty!
