I have skiid at Whiteface Mountain for many many years, and could not remember the name Lake Placid where I stayed many many years. I was trying to add another venue but could only remember the Mountain. It's an age thing. Yes, a good dance comp at the Lake.Yes, we always bring a roll of colored tape to 'fix' the sign so that the vids aren't embarassing these days. Of course, the kids operate on the "P" every year.
And Joe, don't forget Lake Placid International Dance competition! either.
With all the international skaters training in the U.S., I think it would not be impossible to attract a satisfactory field, if any of the U.S. venues wanted to go that route.
The problem is what Doris said on this thread and Sylvia on the other. The clubs that host these events make money off them. If they were connected with the ISU, they would be required to incur greater expenses and to share their profits.
Many of the American and Canadian summer events have an international flavor to them. They usually attract competitors from several countries. The ISU wouldn't have to work to make them international; they already are.
In order to qualify for this designation the event must have a total of at least 8 ladies, 8 men, 6 dance couples and 5 pairs. Each discipline must have skaters from at least four different countries (three in pairs), I don’t see any requirements for the judges, but the three people on the tech panel must be from three different counties.
