Which bump are you skiing? If I'm going to be home most of the winter I get a season pass to Pine Knob. They run NASTAR 3 days a week.

Pugski NASTAR Skier Roll Call
Only for a couple more years.....We've been looking at homes in Big Cottonwood Canyon and Truckee. Not sure yet where we'll land, but retirement is close at hand and last school age child is finishing his sophomore year.....Stoked....
I don't do NASTAR myself, but I'm stoked to follow the Pugski team.
I couldn't agree more with this statement. It's one thing to carve nice turns at your leisure or as the terrain lends itself to but it's another to be forced to make turns at precise times and locations not of your choosing and in often times rutted out lines with mixed ice/snow underfoot all while trying to carry as much speed as possible. Racing improved my skiing a lot. A lot......and I got hooked.
How true! I started at 50 and have a hard time passing up gates.
Pine Knob is my home resort. I live 10 miles from there. Between teaching and coaching I am there 5 out of 7 days a week in addition to my regular job.

I'm sure we've probably seen each other then. I got in a little over 20 days this winter before I had a mid February surgery that took me off the rest of the season. Really dicey weather this year. I live 1/2 mile from the Knob. The only way it could get easier is if they had gear lockers.....but then again I've a lot of skis.....I'll shoot you a PM Karl.
You folks can certainly register for the Pugski.com team-it'll do nothing but help us.
Most definitely!

Thread resurrection......it's that time of year again for the Pugski Nastar Team. Our team is Pugski.com and we can always use new and fast members.
Aaaaand...Winter Park has pulled the plug on their Nastar program. If only I'd gone last year, it probably would have been enough to put them over the top to keep it. Dang. Maybe I'll get a run or two in at Copper.
Am I the only one to put up times so far?
Tomorrow night. Unless they run out of digits on the clock.
But seriously, I'm still off the pugski NASTAR team as long as my league keeps depending on the "family and friends team" slot on the registration card. I'm getting slower anyway, so no big loss.
Our league is the same way. Hoping to get some gates on Friday, been a slow start to the year.
Just got my first beer league time this AM, so it should show up in the team results tomorrow.
Decent 1st run, DNFed on the second because the idiots who mounted the bindings did them wrong. Lost a ski,crashed hard, and went to put the ski back on and noticed the heel piece was way back. Fortunately, it happened on the flats by the second or third gate-if it had happened at high speed I could have gotten hurt much more than the bruised hand that I received. Atomic's Masters rep races with us and fixed them on the hill, while he shook his head at the incompetence. I'm going to stop out at the shop and complain-hate to see someone else get hurt because of their carelessness.
