Eldora Nighthawks

[Blue Streak]

Is anyone planning on running any of the Nighthawks races at Eldora?
It used to be a lot of fun.
Here's more information on it.
We certainly ought to be able to field a Pugski team!

Sounds fun, but I don't have enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do. Good luck finding a crew.

How serious are they? I'd commit to one date if they're chill and fun. I wouldn't want to be the only person in a regular ski outfit on skis that are ~100 underfoot.

My latest experience skiing Nighthawks was 30 years ago, but we had a lot of fun and did not really care about the team results.
It would be great to have a group that wanted to do it just for the love of skiing and the joy of shared enthusiasm.
...and of course there would have to be beers afterwards, probably down the hill in Boulder.

I could commit to one night to represent PugSki!

 

[Blue Streak]

Me too, although I am REALLY slow.
I was NEVER fast.
But I can hold up my end of a Shotzski!

We need to talk to @Philpug about sponsorship .

I find that I have some unplanned free time on my hands due to a merger and downsizing at work. While I hope my break between jobs is brief, this may open up Wednesday nights a little for me.

Who else can we recruit with an Eldora or RMSP pass?

A great race would be to ski on your race skis with a Shotzski boot attached to the tip and see if you have your "beverage" still in the glass at the end of the race.

Will a buck fifty and a pack of stickers do?

That stinks. Hope you find your reset button and find your new path quickly.

You laugh! I am so slow, I could probably do it.

Should we bump this up to try for the 2017-18 season? Also, is it SL or GS?

Did anyone here try this in prior years? I could probably make it to one or two this year. I'm pretty slow, but I've got all the gear. I can at least dress up like a racer.

When they don't mention a discipline, I just assume it's kind of like a Nastar set. I'd be surprised it it were full-blown slalom or GS.

The lights still work at Eldora? Cool. It's been a while since night skiing has been available to the public, hasn't it?

I think it's only on the small, poma served, race hill.
