Spizzzarko 0 #1 March 29, 2006 The time has come again for the Colorado Canopy Piloting Circuit. Get ready to compete and learn, as this season is promised to provide great fun and sharing of knowledge for all involved. This years events will be held over the wonderful pond at Mile Hi Skydiving Center in Longmont, Co. Never swooped a pond before? Worry not as there will be copious amounts of coaching from other competitors. Below is the schedule for canopy piloting events at Mile Hi for this season to include the Canopy Piloting Circuit (CPC) events: 22 April CPC # 1 at Mile Hi * 13 May CPC # 2 at Mile Hi * 3 June CPC # 3 at Mile Hi * 9-11 June Mile Hi PST Competition 1 July CPC # 4 at Mile Hi * 14-16 July Mile Hi PST PRO / AM Training Camp 5 Aug CPC # 5 at Mile Hi * 11-13 Aug Mile Hi PST PRO / AM Training Camp 18-20 Aug CPC Championships 8-10 Sept Mile Hi PST PRO / AM Training Camp * The following day will be used as a weather day if needed. All dates and times are subject to change. Remember this year you only need to attend three out of the five CPC events to be invited to the CPC Championships at Mile Hi. Each local CPC competition will have an entry fee of $50 plus the price of jumps. Also there is an CPC initiation fee of $50 that will be due at the beginning of the season. Each CPC competition will consist of 2 rounds each of Speed, Distance, and Zone Accuracy (a hint for all you future competitors out there: Zone Accuracy is what wins the comp!). For further information on the rules and regulations please visit: http://www.canopypiloting.com/cpc.htm I look forward to seeing all of you out on the Circuit.

The weather is usually really nice. Most of the really cold stuff happens in the mountains. You MUST come for the CPC nationals, as it is a great time.
