*CHANGE IN RULES*



Information and the waiver form for the Welch Village Smud Fly is now available on our website: www.welchvillage.com. 

There are a couple of items that might get your attention.  First, we are requiring all competitors to wear helmets.  This is just becoming a reality in the ski industry and you might as well get used to it.  You are going to start seeing this requirement at all year round events, at all ski areas,  sooner rather than later.

Second, if your are under 18 years of age, your parent/guardian has to be here to sign the waiver.  If your parent/guardian cannot be here, then you have to get it notorized.  Notorized simply means that your parent goes to your local bank or post office and signs the form infront of a person called a "Notary Public".  After this person sees your parent sign it, they put a stamp on it and you're good to go.  That's it.  All banks and post offices have a Notary Public person.

We look foward to seeing all of you at Welch for the Smud Fly...it's going to be a blast.  There is still a lot of snow on the ground here.  If you have any questions....send them to welchguy.

So does anybody else prefer to ride rails with fat skis? I've noticed I am waaaaay more confident and feel waaay more consistent on rails and boxes with my melees than I ever was with my chronics, so I'll probly be the only skier with 120mm underfoot...

probably. i'm sure they'll handle the slush better as well. the only thing i'd be worried about is speed. if you get too much gunk build up on them they'd probably go slower. but the syffers can put on a good event so you shouldnt worry about anything besides drinking too much red bull and making your heart explode.

We will have a lot of snow for this weekend.  Spread the word to all of your friends (even if they are snowboarders).  Registration starts at 10am in the main office.  Word from the kitchen is that the dish of the day will be Pronto Pups.  You can wash those down with your free can of Red Bull.

We had a slight change in plans due to warped plastic on the up down box, and the rainbow rail will be taking it's place.  We've started on the setup, and here is a sneak peak...

Most likely should be rapped up around 4 pm. but you know how these kind of comps go, and it may go a little longer.

And don't forget...If you are under the age of 18 you must have a notarized signature from a parent to be in the competition, or ride at all.  Do not forget this, welch is  going to be very strict about this, so make sure you get this done, or bring a parent along to sign in front of an employee.  Also, BRING YOUR HELMET!
