If this is held at the World Arena, I would go in a heartbeat as Colorado Springs has the best set up for skating events I have ever seen.
Arena, two sheets practice ice, hotels and restaurants all within crawling distance.
Trouble is, there is a conflict with the Reno National Air Races...but if those are canceled, I would go. Nice bike trip from Spokane.

I have given it some thought. I want to see who is going to be there, and compare their schedule to mine first.

With the possibility that SA will be in Milwaukee, I and my western skating friends are eyeing Colorado Springs for our fall skating fix....except I have a conflict.

I wonder if Vincent ZHOU will make his JGP debut at this event, as Broadmoor is his home rink.

Vincent is currently officially slated to make his JGP debut at JGP Slovakia, in addition to Vivian Le and Emily Chan. Kevin Shum will also be competing for USA.

Per: http://www.usfsa.org/Athletes.asp?id=216

Additionally, there are some JGP competitors who train in my area and I've overheard conversations at the rink. Apparently the American men competing at JGP Colorado Springs are Tomoki Hiwatashi, Nathan Chen, and Oleksiy Melnyk.

Anyone know how much tickets cost & how you buy them?

FWIW, this non-official Facebook post says that admission is free.
