I don't know but if you can afford it, go for it. Seriously I think you'd have the time of your life regardless of how you do. Plus you get to chill with the big boys.

yeah dude if you can afford to have a season pass to vail and live near it then i would definitely do it if you have a chance of qualifying.

YES the Open is most definatly worth it. It cost $200 but the experience competing with the pros. Your run could be right before or after your favorite pro. DO IT

by doing it and not taking it seriously you are taking a spot from someone who could be waiting for their chance to blow up. save comps like these for skiers that have a good shot

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make the assumption that he either:
A. Already competed. Or...
B. Didn't already compete.

i think it would be awkward to pay 200 and go up with the pros knowing you have no chance

itll be worth the experience you will meet way nice and kewl people learn how it is sompeting with the big names and you will be able to give advice to people like me who are very young and will wait a little longer.

i predict the us open will fail finacially and vail will drop it due to lack of profit. it is a terible thing to say but the future looks rough for the open. just some solid rumor making.

OR... you could go because you really love the rush taht competing gives you and you love the atmosphere.
You don't have to WIN to have a really good time there.
