A huge draw for me to start skiing AWSA in the summer time was the collegiate special. Some of the tournaments ran reduced rates and i mean reduced rates. This made me more likely to head to some summer tournaments. It helps that I am an assistant judge and I try to help out as much as possible ( swapping courses, judging, rope handler, etc.). I did the math and it is cheaper for me to ski AWSA than any INT tournament. Plus all the old guys see me ski like crap and are more than willing to give me some tips so my next set goes much better.Â
