Chalet just closed. Tues 1/3, 10:15 AM EST
Boy, that was rather short this year, wasn't it?

Yeah, got caught flatflooted myself by the end time. I'd wanted to get slow resist IOs for a bunch more characters but couldn't stay up any later last night to get the last few done. (I was getting one per Lady Winter run with my main.)

and just as I was getting good on the ski courses
for next year, what are the tricks to getting better/faster runs? I thought a Kin hitting me with Speed boost would do it, but it only shaved a fraction of a second off my final score (49.88) on the toboggan course... the record is under 41 seconds
Without meaning to, I managed to not even set foot in Pocket D for the entire duration of the Winter event. I have shamed my name!
Though, that is because it has been the holiday season and I have been obnoxiously busy visiting family friends the past 2 weeks, especially the weekends (where I can usually log some decent playing time). I am betting I am not the only one in this situation, and I wish the event had been extended a week, since only now is my schedule returning to some semblance of normalcy.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.

I didn't bother with it this year, then again, I just haven't playing as much lately. I was more busy than normal for the holidays and some new toys have taken some time away of CoH.

For me, the end of winter event means YAY!

*giggles* People being suprised that the ski chalet closed today Not like they told us or anything is it
Got a bronze on the ski slope and that'll do me this year. Now give me i22!

I'd personally be happy if the ski chalet was open year round. Why not? It's not like Pocket D has seasons. The presents strewn around the zones can go away though.

You need to allow a few days for adjusting!
Given that last year the ski chalet was open well into February, it's not exactly unreasonable to think it was pretty short this year.

What I did to get the badges when they first came out was to use my 2nd build, and just pack it with all the travel and movement powers

Speed isn't always the greatest help. Because you don't have the positional control to make the most of it.
If you want the absolute LOWEST time possible what you need is...
7 teammates with Teleport.
Position them at the last 7 markers on the course, usually bottom man on the last one and work up the course (and team list).
Ski your way up to within eyesight of the first guy and start a teleport chain.
Unslotted teleport generally works best.
Each person watches the guy ahead of them.
When they see the big drop in Endurance from TP firing, they fire off themselves.
It takes some practice, but you can get OBSCENELY low run times.
Doh... I didn't get a chance to set foot in there this season either!
and round up everyone that knows more than they do"-Dylan
I always only use the jump pack you get from the second mayhem for the slopes (and sprint) . That gives you some extra jump (falling/sliding) speed and some control in mid air for the longer jumps.
