id like to see the WC at snowshoe really. Mud,roots,rocks plus they have enough lodging for like 30% of the east coasts population. either way im gonna go to this for sure

+1billion

snowshoe would be a great venue, if they either amped up the track they had races on last weekend, or incorporated some of their more technical runs (Pro DH, OG, etc.) it'd be great.

Windham is def capable of the wc course. It's steep in places and if it rains the day before the race, anyone is gonna have a extremely different time. But then again I'm not a pro.

let's just say snowshoe has tons of lodging, plenty to host a wc event.

Anyone who thinks Windham can't hold a WC race is miss informed.

Windham has everything from roots , rocks , steepness and great flow.

This weekend proved that any course they use is quality. 35 Pro's raced last years Sport course in a foot of mud today and it was a blast and the most challeging course I have ridden in the past few years.

The Pro course from last year would have been the hardest course to ride with the rain. That is the course planned for next years WC final. I can't wait to watch this race in 2010.

I was there to. The coarse was a blast, and there was alot of crashes. In spots the mud made the coarse way to slow. I might even go back for the Yankee Clipper/Kenda Cup DH/DS in august.

OG to pro dh or up and low hairball would be really fun to watch the carnage

and yes i was joking about the lodging situation there, but there is a ton of rooms there plus camping
