I agree with the others. Needs a SuperD race. Best of both worlds.

Why would I mark my calendar for this if there is no Super D or Enduro?

Agreed w mtn_freeride, they need to invest some time and $ to make it more than a fire road sprint, otherwise it is better to not have it. With all the momentum behind SuperD and Enduro, hopefully the course will get revamped in the near future.

Not to restart an old thread...but bummed there will again be no Super D at Le Otter. With all that land, there is so much potential for a great race. But, as the old saying goes; If you cant do something right, don't do it at all.
