RE: worlds participation.
Doug,
I have been a member for one year. I attended the World's at Snowshoe, All I have heard is how wonderful it has been over the past 6 years. I agreed. I was totally impressed, sure we had a fog delay second day 1st group but thats weather at least it was cool. I heard the temperature in Indiana that day was 103 with high humidity. quess I am on the other side of your screen hearing only good things. I fear the unknown I quess and no one is making anything known to ease those fears.
Just a note, My son age 20 had a 81 year old man walked the course at Snowshoe with his group and had no problem with the mountain. Our course here in Ohio is much harder terain than Snowshoe. The condo's for the money were fabulous. I don't see how that could be improved on unless it would be motel room maybe 25 miles from where you shoot.
I do really wish you luck with the World's and hope all goes well.
