The course is in great shape and covered in wildflowers right now. We have been getting a good amount of play but I hope to see more of those who want to tour the course before the upcoming contest!!

What's the format for this year? One or two rounds on Saturday, one round on Sunday, and a final nine for the top four open players? Are tee times assigned and staggered five or ten minutes apart? Thanks for the information.

[mountainhigh]

Format will be very similar to last year, depending on how many players are in.

18 on Saturday, 18 on Sunday. Final 9 for top 4 Advanced and Pro Divisions on Sunday.
We will do a modified shotgun/staggered start to help get the rounds over asap. Similar to last year, we will shotgun start some holes that are easy to get to and then stagger the rest. I'll use the truck to haul several groups up to some of the holes that are far from the base area.

Hands down the most fun I've had in a tournament to date!!

I would Highly recommend making it to Crystal Mountain for a super fun weekend of vacation/tournament golf!!

--several of us from the Seattle area will be heading down to play on Tuesday, August 18th--

Mountain High Tournament Gators and Teebird-L's fundraiser discs just came in yesterday. We will have them to include in players packs and for sale to support Crystal Mountain Disc Golf.

Turis Corning is making our shirts again this year. Thanks Corningwear!!

Get your registrations in as soon as possible.

Hope to see you on the mountain soon.

Will we get to pick which disc we want between the two or will it be random?

[mountainhigh]

Current Registration list is posted
http://www.pdga.com/tournament-results?TournID=9322

As long as available, players can choose their disc(Gator or TL) at Checkin.

We will be having a checkin "party" at the Snorting Elk on Friday Night. Those that are up playing the course on Friday or choose to come up to stay the night can get checked in early which is best for everyone.

If you are registered before Monday you will also get a Mountain High T-shirt. I will order some extras from Turis but they will be limited. Go ahead and get signed up if you can. www.pdgasignup.com (http://www.pdgasignup.com)

Checkin on Saturday starts at 8:00am with Players Meeting about 10:00.

Awesome I can't wait. This tournament is always well run Dee and a lot of fun. I will definately see you there Friday night.

I would love to see Oregon and Washington get on the same page next year. We need to avoid these scheduling issues to allow for more interstate travel. If I could make the trip up I definitely would. I love Mtn Disc Golf anywhere. However, this is the same weekend as the Eugene Celebration and it will be my 13th in a row.... Let's start coming together and make a real NW Schedule that touring players like myself could follow. It will benefit all tournaments in the area. Peace

[JR Stengele]

I completley agree. Just within WA there are three of four tournaments not to mention the ones in Oregon this upcomming weekend. I am all for diversity but it is unfortunate to miss so many good ones at a time. I guess it could be worse, there could be none. = )

Dear TD
can you tell me which tournament course will be used?
from the tippy top? halfway up?
A map would be nice
I'm being bugged to go, but only really want to go if it's from the top

[DMajor]

Hey I am all signed up for the tournament and have been talking to some people interested in coming up for the tournament and they were wondering what the camping situation is up there for the weekend. Is there a place close by that people will be camping at and if so are there any amenities at the campsite?

Thanks

[Toby Puttzinski]

There is free camping in and around the parking area... there are bathrooms available for use, but I'm not sure about showers. Open fires were allowed last year.

Hey Thanks I will pass the word along, are you playing?

[Toby Puttzinski]

Kurt, it will be the lower course that is being used again, but you should go anyway. I would also like to see the course played from the very top of the mountain (sounds like acres of fun), but I hear that it'll take a great deal of volunteer efforts to get that course put in for the tourney.

Funny, I've said that every year since 2006, when Eddie Luv Wren ran the best damn Mountain High ever on the 2-high-speed-quad-served summit-to-lodge-18-hole Extreme Crystal course. It's so sick, it probably would make you puke!

[Toby Puttzinski]

I've had this tourney 'marked' on my calendar since last year, but now I can't make it as my in-laws fly back to Japan at the end of this week, and my wife really wanted me to be around....
it worked out pretty well for me though, as I was able to instead play the Lava Launch at Mt. Bachelor a few weeks back. WOW!!! A very beautiful 'Alpine 18' and Super 9 that are mostly downhill and utilize the chair lift-- a lower 9 that compliments the Super 9, and a Nordic 18 that is pretty sick as well...

I may try to make it up to Crystal on Saturday for an afternoon round-- man, I wish that I could play in the tourney though!! Have a great time!!

What plastic are the gators and TLs in?

Great weekend for everyone.... Thanks to all those who participated for making it happen..


Great to have some the best "young bucks" and old timers in the northwest playing up at Crystal.

[JR Stengele]

Just wanted to say thanks to Dee and the Crystal Mountain staff for putting together another memorable Mountain High Classic! Everything from the organization, great player packs, accomodations, fun atmospere, and overall amazing people. If you didn't make it this year due to prior engagements make sure you don't miss out next year. The place is breathtaking and the course is legit! Thanks Dee for another fabulous year!

[Ode]

Thanks for another amazing weekend at crystal Dee! ill see you again next year, i guess ill have to be mixing it up with advanced then too. Great course, everyone should try to make it up to crystal mountain and play this event.

[DMajor]

Yeah thanks to Dee and everyone else who helped with the course and the tournament. That course is crazy fun and the tournament ran very smooth.

Does anyone know when the course closes for the season? I want to head up there again for some revenge on those downhill holes.

[mountainhigh]

Crystal course usually closes in late October depending on the weather (snow). Make sure to call if you are coming up in late oct. I will post several notices here and on www.crystalmountaindiscgolf.blogspot.com as to the closing.

Hotel office staff will know what is going on. 360-663-2262.
