Hood and Alpental Rando Rallys - both cancelled was created by Jeff Huber

Edit: The Alpental rally sounds official cancelled and I'm almost certain the MHM rally is as well. My Dynafits are going to be traumatized.

Wy'east will be in plenty of shape unless it just doesn't freeze and you have to worry about taking a big, wet ride. Wy'east is DA BOMB. Wy'east? Edit to add: I guess it could be loaded with a fresh slab, too; that possibility just doesn't come to mind too quickly these days. That would be nice.

Are splitboarders allowed and if so, do I get any points for style?

Splitboards are definitely allowed for the life-link races. No style points, just the satisfaction that you are "doing the right thing".

I don't see any reason splitboards wouldn't be allowed and I disagree with Phil -- you do get style points. I've heard that "splitboard crampons" (not sure what those are) are not allowed for the life-link series, not sure about Hood.

I've been thinking about entering the Alpental rally (assuming it doesn't get cancelled)... if that is a good experience, I might be convinced to go try this Hood thing on a split...

Just an FYI that the Life-Link website: www.life-link.com/race.htm
...now lists the Alpental race as cancelled.
(I guess this isn't terribly surprising, but now it's official.)
Must be a conspiracy to deny me a chance at the Big Time after my results in the first two rando races ever held in the east.
Or to prevent me from embarrassing myself against a truly competitive field...

Bummer. I just got the skins-on-and-switch-to-touring-mode move without taking the skis off down . . .

I just returned from my gear closet where I broke the news to my Dynafits. They didn't take it well at all . . . they were so grief-stricken they just sat there completely motionless and expressionless, they acted so withdrawn it was almost as if they were inanimate objects.

Darn. >

What am I going to do with my new pair of lightweight Dynafit bindings that I bought for 40% off? I may just have to take them back.

I would take them back anyway and get a real binding.
