Is anybody thinking about going to this?

[nelsonjm]

Yes. I actually just got on to post a similar thread.

I already took the monday off for this. What are your plans for lodging?

For others....

Well I have no idea for lodging. Id have to research it. I figure drive up Friday evening, and come back Sunday after the race. Right now I'm thinking about doing the SuperD and DH.

EDIT: looks like rooms can be had nearby for $50/night

I already got my license because of Massanutten and Wisp. So no issue for me there. What's really dumb is Massanutten and Wisp still haven't reported the results to USAC. When I login to my account it still says I have no results this year. I wonder if the other GE races have been as bad.

[nelsonjm]

Probably. You should have seen Windham. :rolleyes:

Ok I decided to go to Wisp this weekend. $30 for all weekend lift pass and $79/night hotel rooms.

i want to go, but unfortunately it looks like this is the only weekend my friend, who is a roofer, can help me put a roof on my house. He's kinda flaky though, so if he bails then i'd be down.

Wish I could go.Im really interested in this place bc palmerton pa is only 3 hours away.

They just opened up a bike park early Sept..It looked fairly sizable . hopefully the start of something good.

Im building brownie points for Snowshoe closing weekend.:D
