A few other members and myself are working on organizing a comp for ns members for this winter. We want one to be hosted at Park City in mid to late February and need some help from locals. If anyone is interested PM me or sh4dow. Thanks guys!

I feel like there's only so much a local can do. Maybe try contacting PC once the season starts to roll around?

A few other members and myself are putting together comps around the US For this winter. We want to have a park comp at park city. Pretty much what we need is someone who wants to help organize the comp and run it the day it's scheduled for. Also, it would be helpful to have a local help out because if we need local company sponsors it would be a lot easier. However we haven't really discussed that yet.. Were still trying to figure out the details and the more people we can get to help out the better.

No not even close. The main thing that we'd ask from them would be to help run it the day of the comp. Anything else that they'd want to help with would be completely up to them.

I don't compete or anything and I think it's a cool idea but isn't there a lot that goes into just rail jams? I mean there's mountain time, prizes, if there's food or shirts/beanies people could buy, a Dj/announcer to be saying all the names or playing music it would probably cost quite a bit to have someone bring out all their set up. Then set everything up. As well as getting the park guys to come out and set everything up and move some features around. People also need to clean up after. That's just off the top of my head and I've never been close to organizing a comp. Don't get me wrong though I think it's a cool idea.

Some more info on the comps since people seem confused:

There will be regional comps in the Northwest, Midwest, and East, then comps in Utah that double as Rocky Mountain regional and as final.

There will be big mountain comps set up like GNAR (a combination of competition and game), and there will be park comps (big air and/or rail jam).

I am overseeing the Utah part for the most part, but I only ski big mountain, not park, and I have never been to PCMR. What we need from a PC local is mostly help in deciding the venue (where on the mountain to host the comp) and maybe some other small things. I'll still do what I can to help and I'll be at PC the day of the comp to help run things, but since I am not a park skier and have never been to PCMR it would be nice to have some help from someone who is a park skier and PC local.

I get that part and it's super cool but even though it might be a weird question, do you guys have the funds for this? How much does it cost to run a comp with regional and final comps?

You know you have to check with resorts before you do events right? You can't just set your own event up...

We don't have funds for it but we aren't planning to set up tents and podiums and all that stuff, there will be little to no cost.

It depends on how we do it. If we had stuff set up like the FWT then yeah we'd need to organize it with the ski area management but not if we just play GNAR and have an unofficial park comp.

Have fun trying to close one of the runs for a park comp without the resort's permission. Either that, or have fun having a comp with lots of other inunvolved people on the same run.

Of course we would have to talk to management to get the park closed to everyone else, and maybe we will do that but the details aren't decided yet. If it has to be when the park is open to everyone we'll just do it a day that isn't busy.
