I would have some interest in trying one of these events sometime. For admin's media team I believe the lifts and lodging are free. But he already has the full complement of 4 people, and for me personally this is a not a good year to try something like this. Patrick, on the other hand, has already demonstrated a willingness to take on a such a challenge.
The reading of the fine print indicates that in fact this is not a "vertical foot contest," like the Jimmie Huega fund raisers or the event I heard about after the fact at Mammoth in April 1995. At Keystone the team collectively has to do at least one run per hour. Every team that meets that minimum standard is entered into a drawing for the prizes. Employees of affiliated companies and media freeloaders :wink: are not eligible for the prizes.
