Saga.Great news. The Utah crew made it safely to Killington last night. Look for John Kutcher, Steve Stepp, LJ Strenio to be joining up with Franchino, Sullivan, Justin DL and a slew of other east cost SagaFam this weekend at Killington.
P.s. If you are are going to be at killington this weekend we've sent out about a dozen scavenger hunt prize packs for the guys to distribute around the mountain. Keep your eyes peeled.
Nice! Where are those boys staying?
Stoked to see all of you tomorrow. We arrive tonight at about 6pm or so. Anyone who is around lets link up.

Shit just got real! I predict a teenage brawl or two over these.
Also where's the Saga house? NS is in Trail Creek so hopefully it's close
We're staying on resort. Sadly we won't know what place we're in until right close to the event. If you have the budget, book yourself at one of the on-mountain lodges and we'll all be close to each other.
If you're on a budget, our guy at Killington Recommends:
Happy Bear Motel
1784 Killington Rd
Killington, VT 05751
United States
Tentative schedule:
9:30am - Meet at bottom of contest venue. I will spraypaint "Mr.Bishop" across the back shoulders of my jacket. This will make missing me impossible. Contest venue is near the chairs that get us to the park. We'll wait for 10 minutes to collect as many people as possible, and then we'll go shred the park and whatever else we feel like. Text 514.688.0368 if you're lost, that is my cell and I'll locate you if you missed us. No guarantees for late assholes, as when I lap I like to just go.
12:30-1:30pm - Skier Qualifiers. We may decide as a group that we want to watch this portion of the event. Centre bottom, again - congregate at me and look for my jacket. If the group doesn't want to watch, we will be skiing instead of watching. This will be up to the crew we have shredding, and how we're feeling.
1:30pm - End of Day. We do what we feel like. Ski some more, head for some apres, meet at a condo - whatever. We'll take this one on the fly.
4:45pm - Finals start. We'll meet at the bottom centre of the venue (once again I will wear same jacket) and watch as a crew. Try to get as close to one of the fire pits as possible. Bonus points for helping cover the event, and extra bonus points for coming prepared to heavily enjoy the watching experience.
Post-contest - Either go back to rooms to get ready for the party, or go to one room. TBD.
Afterparty - This is a big one. We do not have an official after party sanctioned by the event (yet) so suggestions for where we tell all the skiers to go are officially open. Ideas?
were you there? Sandy was killing it, from the end bit i saw of the bottom part, he was super consistent and stuck everything (outside the last dash for cash where he took a pretty bad hit)
Seeing these results, all dudes who flew in, does anyone else think it might be time to split into two divisions so some local east coast talent can get a bite to eat? It's beginning to feel like the contest has been high jacked these past couple years and isn't about the east coast anymore. Not to say that it isn't sick that guys like LJ compete, they definitely up the publicity and level of riding, It just doesn't seem like the same opportunity that it was years ago.
