Snowshoe
Another location is a possiblity: however, there are contracts and monumental logistics to consider.
Bob Evans, a recent suggestion, is out because they have a hang-up about monetary rewards for competition.
Canaan Valley is a good consideration, lots of excellent accommodations, ski slopes and national forests. There are also problems with fog/weather, as do all W.VA' s elevations.
Snowshoe is still a great chioice. Perhaps we could extend the competition days to 4 or 5 instead of 2
Any time you try to cram a world event into two and a half active days you are begging for trouble. I never did feel that a Sunday finale was adequate because everyone has to travel to return to his or her home and work. Shoot off' s scheduled at dusk is not good either.
Trails can be modified, and youngsters courses can be corrected, or relocated.
If, in fact, there will be an ununreasonable increase in room rates, I strongly suggest another location. I am not one to yield to extortion.
