Slight Change

Because of a scheduling conflict, the SATURDAY 9-1 MIKE DUFFY AVALANCHE TRAINING WILL BE CANCELLED! This ONLY affects the Saturday Mike Duffy Session.

Mr. Duffy will be still be holding the Sunday AM session for those interested.

Sorry for the late notice.

How does one sign up for specific clinics? Or is it first come first served? Were planning on going to several this year and bringing 2 new sledders with to get them up to speed as far as safety is concerned.

 

[MarleneeSteven]

All of the clinics are first-come, first-served. We tried to anticipate attendance and schedule rooms large enough to accommodate everyone that might show up, but we're getting really good response, so some of the classes might be packed. Some of the workshops also require a bit more interaction, and those will be intentionally held in smaller rooms.

That being said, I would definitely plan on being at the expo center an hour or so before 'your' workshops start to scope things out. With all of the changes we're making this year, it's going to still be a little bit of a learning curve but we're committed to making this the best show in the Rockies!

Also, Mike Duffy would like people to give him a heads-up if you're planning on attending his Sunday workshop.

Bohica is a dealer...but do not think he will be at the show

 

[MarleneeSteven]

It doesn't look like anyone selling sled decks will be at the show.

 

[shelbwyo]

I have two older ABS airbags, will there be anyone at the show to set it off and repack/refill it for me?

 

[wfieldin]

Snow Big Deal

Snow Big Deal will be there, they are an ABS dealer, I plan on exchanging mine with them.

 

[PJ-Hunter]
