How they expect this to be successful I don't know. How can you have a superpipe comp when you have the only superpipe in the state and it will only be open a day before the comp. Are there supposed to be a lot of outside riders coming up?

This would be a kick if I could ride the XP through it once or twice.

That exact thought ran through my mind. I'm a decent skier, but i've never been on a superpipe. On the other hand, the guy who is renting me his house, is flying in from out of state along with a few other people who are planning on competing. Also, it was rumored that the superpipe was initially envisioned as a training place for the upcoming Olympics... too bad Team USA have been training since Dec on the Copper Mountain Superpipe since early Dec.
