We are so excited to get our series of Slopestyle events kicked off this Sunday at Loon Mountain. Here are four important things we're thinking about as we head into Sunday:

1: Waivers: All athletes and coaches, even those with Loon season passes, must complete their event waiver at www.loonmtn.com/waivers in order to acquire a Loon Mtn. wristband at check-in. You'll need the wristband to access the course.

2: Weather: It's going to be very cold. Please bundle up and work with your coaches to schedule warm-up periods throughout the day. We'll be working hard to help keep our staff warm as they sit still on the hill.

3: Waitlist: All athletes from this Sunday's waitlist have been pulled into the event. We are currently sitting at 128 athletes and our jury has decided not to admit more. 256 judges runs is about the maximum that we can fit into a day and our tentative schedule will have the event ending around 3pm if all goes smoothly and we have no delays.

4: Spectating will be available to skiers/riders only. Access will be midway down Springboard on looker's lefthand side. There is not hiking access to the course.

Thank you all for the support and enthusiasm. Be sure to fill out your waiver prior to Sunday morning.
