Official 'Help the New Summiteer' Thread!

[Bostonian1976]

All you Summit veterans,

Here's a chance for all of you to help out the new Summiteers. The new year has brought an influx of 'standard' FJ Summit questions to my inbox, including date questions. Did I mention the dates? Lol.

New Summiteers - please post your '08 questions here. The Summit veterans and I will help you out.

Please though - first research the threads in this section as well as FJSummit 2007 National Meet, and do your best to keep the questions to a minimum unless you absolutely can't find the answers.

The site will be regularly updated, and there is a lot of info already out there.

Thanks i'm going to subscribe to this thread! Being a newbie to the Summit! I am sure that when registration starts up it will answer a lot of our questions, so after that i am sure we will have a few! Thanks!

Ask away! First off, I know someone is going to ask where to stay.

Go here:

Ouray Colorado :: Lodging

or here:

FJSummit 2007 National Meet

Yes, camping is great. Ampitheater - super scenic, no showers. KOA - showers.

Now, get booked, lots of places are already sold out because of us!

Jason, Make this a sticky

I can help with questions also.

The sticky is a good idea.

NEW EDIT: Sorry nevermind, found the answer to my question on the Summit web page

Ok, I'll try to be the first actual question here...

Is there a good resource us Summit newbs can check out that lists the trails that will be run, difficulty of the trail, scenic rating, etc.? Possibly with pictures?

I thought I had seen something somewhere, but I cannot find it now. I could probably just look up the general area on some web site, but I wouldn't know for sure if any given trail is within Summit scope or not (and they probably don't have a FJ specific trail rating).

Thanks, and I look forward to meeting everyone!!!
