Papasteeze Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hey everyone! This does sound like a really cool event. Especially for all you vertical extreme guys!! I know that we have some monsters that as an organized group could probably take this thing. CHIME IN and comment! http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=150821 The event is a 24 hour event taking place on March 4th and 5th. It's going to be a great time, and we're really stoked and would love to see a PASR team come up and fight for the Vertical Feet bragging rights. We're also going to be having our Annual mogul challenge on the 4th, so those coming up may even be able to combine 2 events and have an awesome and unforgetable weekend on snow! If we get enough interest from PASR maybe you could make a special forum dedicated to the Vertical Challenge, and spread the word out! We're looking to get teams from all over the Northeast! Let me know what you think! Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbike-ski Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sounds like a great event! I've never been to Greek Peak, any mountain reviews or comments, how far from the Lehigh Valley? I'd like to check it out it we we can't get to the Relay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sounds like a great event! I've never been to Greek Peak, any mountain reviews or comments, how far from the Lehigh Valley? I'd like to check it out it we we can't get to the Relay... It's about 2 hrs. from the I 80 area. Worth cheching out, especially if they stay open later than PA resorts.

poconoceancity Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 O.K. Do you think 200 thousand verts is possible? Does Greek Peak have any fast lifts? No fast lifts and no footrests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski4Food Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 O.K. Do you think 200 thousand verts is possible? Does Greek Peak have any fast lifts? Our longest and fastest lifts do have foot rests, and each run take about 8-10 minutes, and we have 952 Vertical feet. So you do the math! I'm real glad you all are interested. I will get you more information tomorrow! So check back soon, and I'll have more answers! So if you have questions, post 'em, and I'll get you answers! Or PM me! Thanks Guys!

Schif Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 This definately sounds like something that would be awesome to do. This would push the limit of my riding to a complete new level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTmark Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 it would deffently be a nice endourence test and it acculy means something for me. zonked if you could get that condo for the weekend that would be sooooo sick. it would be nice to have a place to sleep befor driving home after skiing/rideing for 24 hours straight.

Yeah definately a good test of endurance. I'll talk to my rents and neighbors if people are really interested. It may already be rented out but that would definitely would be awesome (For future notice, anyone lookin for a cheap hotel up near GP, DONT EVER STAY at the Three Bear Inn- Please just take my word haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schif Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 1. is there any sort of prize 2. how many people to a team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTmark Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 im pretty shure their is a prize and i think the site said 10 people to a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski4Food Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 1. is there any sort of prize 2. how many people to a team? There will be prizes. However, at this point I don't think they have figured out what the prizes will be. Also that weekend and during the event we will be having a mogul competition. And there are talks of also having a midnight rail jam and halfpipe competition. So there will be a lot of cool things going on as well. I also believe Nastar will be up anr running that weekend as well. The teams are made up of 2-10 people.

Zonked Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 If I get a head count on how many people may want to go, I'll talk to my rents and neighbors and see if I can get the condo. It is probably already rented but its worth a try if there are enough people willin to join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
