Ski Recommendation for Saudan Couloir Race April 13th
Hey guys,
I was wondering what ski you guys would use/recommend for the Saudan Couloir race in April on Blackcomb. Maybe a list of multiple choices based on possible likely conditions in mid-April. Me and a friend will be in the amateur division, hope to see some mags and have a couple (million) beverages after. Seems like the race will go to the bottom of Jersey Cream which I found a bit surprising, guess there will be a substantial portion of traditional GS in addition to the couloir portion, wondering how this might factor into ski choice for some of you guys. Thanks for your time.
DD is Wren 108 btw
Cheers

GS gate set would lead one to believe the correct ski would be a mono ski mounted telemark. YMMV.

Course goes down blowdown. I'll be on GS skis, or maybe my 188 x-drive 88 if the top section is slushy/bumpy. They haven't groomed the couloir in 15+ years and it's a lot narrower than it used to be. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't end up grooming it to be honest.

I'm doing it on one ski, and a snowblade mounted to my air cast. And Rob Stokes gave me some arm crutches, so bigfoots on them.

Who raced this today? What skies did you use?
I had my money on Stan Rey, but I though Robbie Dixon would have a strong time. Dixon skied out with 3 gates to go.
I saw some classic Whistler names on the results list.
Powder11 how about a TR?
