Checking my list...
Added to Protector Calendar. 
I added a "ball" icon to make it stand out.
Unfortunately this falls on the same date as my wedding anniversary for me, but have fun!

dunno about the skiing I have not "caught onto" the ways of actually getting anything on the slope badges and what not. The Snow Brawl sounds fun. I'm always down for a CC as well.

Tip: Besides all the speed buffs you can get, try running it in "first person" view by zooming all the way in.|

I was unable to complete even the minimum times until I did that. Afterwards it was downright easy.

Calendar'd!
Of course maybe not telling us all how much inf there is to be spent would be better to make sure slackers from other servers don't come pouring in out of nowhere and taking what's rightfully supposed to go to THIS one... o.o I mean, they can get their OWN prizes!

I'm in for the brawl and the CC as I expressed interest earlier.
Quote:
Grab a level 50 (or other high level) who hasn't used their secondary build, or one you don't mind respecing into a skier. Then grab and 3-6 slot for speed/jump Super Speed, Super Jump, Sprint (or equivalent vet reward), Swift, Hurdle, and anything you might have in your primary or secondary that makes you faster, such as Quickness and Elude for Super Reflexes. The rest of the powers and slots can be dumped anywhere, after 6-slotting these powers for maximum speed and jumping, as this build will be incredibly inefficient for combat. Therefore, you'll want to leave any builds you care about untouched unless you're prepared to sink two respecs.|

After that, just practice and try and try again. Making a build like this got me gold on both slopes fairly easily once I got the hang of the slopes. Super Jump is great for making sure you maintain high air speed and can easily hit check points without having to backtrack.
You could possibly nab a bronze with Fly on the shorter slope with some mad skillz.
I should be able to make this...sounds like a good time!
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Thanks again to all who came out and showed their support and all the contestants. We hope you enjoyed this year's event, and we will start planning for the next seasonal Protector Players' Event soon. Enjoy the rest of the Winter Event and Happy Holidays to all!
I was really jazzed to learn that even though I got back online at 630 halfway through my dinner, I was still in time for the costume contest, and even more jazzed to see that I've still got it with Winter's True Spirit.
Also, I was laughing so hard when I saw my competition who won 2nd, I've never seen her around Paragon but obviously we had very similar ideas
