Why isn't trading closed yet? :O

By the way guys, Kaya is injured, so not a good idea to pick her.

I did pretty good having Voisin, Logan and Howell. Too bad I dropped Bowman after she took a bad crash at TNF PPOS. I figured she was maybe a bit sore and wouldn't perform too well, if at all. My bad.

Stoked on Keri, and especially Ashley come back after tearing her ACL last year at the Dew. I wonder if Emilia is okay. FFL stated out with knee. Did she reinjure herself, or just not competition ready I wonder. Hope she's okay.

Woohoooo for Maggie Voisin!!

Oh and horrible news about Tiril. I was really looking forward to her performance this season. Her hits off the big kicker in Supervention were awesome. Shame she's out.

"Slope Style ski shop dishing $1,000 to FFL winner 2013-11-17

We're excited to announce Slope Style ski shop, located on Main Street in Breckenridge, CO, will be dishing $1,000 worth of gear to the winner of this year's Fantasy showdown.

Being Summit County's most core ski shop, they've got everything you need from hardgoods to softgoods, to demo opportunities. Much of what's stocked in the store is also available online, so be sure to check out slopestyle-ski.com, and start piecing together that dream $1,000 kit. It's all yours if you play your cards right... "

between Saga's gift and Slopestyle, theres a lot of potential winnings...

As Mary said there should be a start list that will help Just think and plan ahead all the big names will be there.

Speaking of US people My Wifes team which is made up of only people that are on the US Freeskiing Team is in 2nd Place she would be in 1st if Torin and Gus would have gotten some points.

It says 32 compete in each, but there were only 11 people on the lists for each I think, so I would assume that the rest are from other countries.

I know she is competing at the Grand Prix at Copper. Beyond that idk, but I would assume she would be.

Here is a link where you can find all the riders and their heats. There is 1 heat for the ladies, 4 heats for the men. LOTS of competitors!!

Oh you're right, she's not listed!!! I don't know why not. When I asked her why she wasn't competing in the Dew Tour, she said she was just waiting to start the season off with the Grand Prix at Copper. I know she's been out there skiing, so Idk what happened.

Question:

If i sell someone that has won me points in the past, will I retain those points if I sell the people?

An example of this is Tom Wallisch (or anyone else not in the Olympics) has won points, do I keep those points if he's sold?
