I don't think it will happen. This year only 1400 registered, down from last year, add reports from us about the wind and last years temps around 100. I just hope they don't cancel it . Like others posted its about numbers for the WTC, can't blame them. Also I was talking to some of the IM guys over coffee yesterday and I asked about California getting another full, one guy who's a IM race director said right now it doesn't look good.... but you never know.
It's a tough course but I like this race and plan on registering for next year, IF.....With my skill set and age I gotta race the tough ones while I can still make the cutoffs.
Just to add. I think timing has something to do with. Look at St George, both are tough courses, have the potential to be hot and windy, 1.5 hrs apart.
St George: early May numbers are ok, enough to keep the race going and has Zion for a draw.
Silverman: late in the season. So even with the LV draw and close to SoCal the numbers are low.
Add AZ 70.3 in Sept might put a fork in Silverman.
Train safe & smart
