JIMINYPEAK- BOMBER DAY carvers only - in the works...

[Dave ESPI]

Edited 12-8-07

Considering now that the old "Ace Of Spades" run (was replaced by Coyotie Ridge park) is now back to being a normal run (park is moved to right side of Grand slam)
I figure that AOS would be perfect for us as it has some smooth flat areas and a few steep drops to it that we can lay different styles out and it is wide enough for us to utelize larger boards without fears of running out of room for turns ( unlike Whitetail or Jericho runs).

So here is what I have sofar:

Proposal for “BOMBER DAY”.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

As a member of the web forum www.bomberonline.com (http://www.bomberonline.com/), and an employee of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Jiminy</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType>, I would like to pitch a possible event day for <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Jiminy</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.

Hard boot snowboarding is a rarity in a sea of park riders and present day snowboard stance and equipment styles. Many people only see Alpine stance, hard boots, plate bindings and big sweeping low turns on TV while watching GS races or the Olympics.

There are those among us who are “carvers” and would like to have a day dedicated to such at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Jiminy</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Peak</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. I would like to simply ask for the following:

Allow the trail “ACE OF SPADES” to be closed to the general public for one day between the hours of 8:00 am and 2:00 pm for the event to be held without fears of interlopers and non-snowboard traffic. Offer the Double chair “ribblet” lift to be utilized by event pass holders (as well as other guest) but offer a ten dollar off lift ticket coupon for people who show up for the event with an internet referral flyer or e-coupon who wish to utilize just this lift, Or pay the daily all-mountain pass at full price and enjoy the same carving experience. Local amateur and pro riders from afar will be coming to the mountain. Anyone who wants to watch or learn, are welcome, and it would be great if we could just have our own dedicated groomed trail and lift section for one day.

I expect approximately between 10 and 40 people to come to this.

Presently on the mountain there is 3 instructors and 2 mountain ambassadors who have hard boot gear, so there will indeed be Jiminy peak involvement, and it will be good PR for snowboarder/skier relations for the duration of the day all over the mountain as there always seems to be an animosity between them even though everyone is on the mountain for the same purpose; Enjoy the snow!

<o:p></o:p>

This is an initial proposal, and I’m sure details can be worked out that will benefit all involved as Jiminy has set up race courses for Schools and many other events.

Ideal day for said event would be a Sunday in late January, or early Feb. If a Sunday is not possible, then perhaps a weekday can be arranged.

<o:p></o:p>

Thank you for the consideration of this matter,

<o:p></o:p>

Dave “Espi” Sheedy




I'm working on getting a day in December or January where we can go and have Whirlaway and the Exhibition runs closed to non-carvers for 1/2 of the day.
If we can get atleast 12 people to say they can commit to it through either a sign up sheet or other forums jumping in with us and having a carver only hill for the morning with fresh groom, I can swing it with a proposal with the Mountain operations people at the fall meeting for returning winter workers.

We could do a Bar-B-Q also.

Anyone interested ?

[dingbat]

:1luvu: Yes..

[Pow]

awesome, definately stoked

[cail]

count me in... unless its a saturday morning (class)

[AKBoarder]

I dont have a carve specific board yet but would be interested......I do carve with my current soft set-up if that counts.

[tex1230]

weekend or weekday?

[willywhit]

Yes !

[jimcheen]

I would be there.

[fishrising]

interested, but it all comes down to when...

[bill b]

dave,sounds great to me,though other than that last winter in the storm ive never seen another carver there except you and cail

[griff]

count me in!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pow]

i'll be there unless I have a lab, in which case I'll be there after or before my lab:biggthump

[ncermak]

I'm interested...if the timing works out.

I could probably also set us up at the Old forge (Lanesboro, MA...right down the road on rte 7) for some wings and beer. At least I could reserve a table...

[cail]

i want wings and beer for lunch now...

[ncermak]

trust me...go to the forge. order a dozen Deans Original Recipe with Garlic, and choose from the 200+ beer list. If you you drink anheiser busch, coors, or miller product, don't bother...

[cail]

i dont drink anything by anheuser-busch, coors, or miller. almost strictly imports. :biggthump

[Pow]

anythings better than keystone by the keg:barf:

[AKBoarder]

Or on a college budget....."A case of Natural Ice" or even "Ice House":barf:

[cail]

Do they know what Co will be there? I would be down.

[Taiga]

Hey,

Can any of you east-coasters ( I are 1 now!), Let this ex-Midwest carver know where JiminyPeak is? I am looking to get hooked up with some venues for snowsports. I now live in Connecticut, which as I am learning is pretty much a snow-free-zone? At least compared to where I came from.

[dingbat]

http://www.jiminypeak.com/misc/directions.html


This is my home mountain:
http://www.berkshireeast.com/index.html
http://www.berkshireeast.com/html/directions.html

Terain is pretty good and they've made some impressive strides in snowmaking and grooming over the last few years.
If I'm reading the rates correctly, you can ride from 8:00am to 10:00pm Friday for $25.

General idea how to get there from conneticut, could be different from where you are. It's not a huge resort, but for a day of trenching with a bunch of carvers, its worth the hour and 1/2 id say:biggthump

[Taiga]

Thanks for the info folks. How crowded on weekends does Jiminy get?

R

[Pow]

the "slow skiing" areas get pretty packed, but the rest of it stays pretty decent from what i remember.

[modifiede30]

I'd be up for it depending on date.

[drzrm]

Yeah, I'd certainly be interested, depending on the date.

Zach

[Dave ESPI]

Hello all !

Well, I've been away on vacation i Maine for 10 days, and came back to a death in a friends family, so been "out of the loop" a few days. I missed the "returning Instructors training weekend" at jiminy lastweekend, but there is NEW HIRE CLINICS still going on next weekend and the weekend of Thanksgiving. Any skiers and riders want a job, come on up ! There are ZERO full time snowboarders on staff right now as instructors. If I can logisticly arrange it, I may go full, but it all comes down to cashflow.

BOMBER DAY is in the works, I spoke to Brian Fairbanks (resort exec) and the Mountain Ops and Events supervisor and they said "we will work on it when the snow flies".

THey hope to open the week of Dec 15th , but if it gets cold (and stays cold) they could try for a few early weekends with man made snow)

I'm looking at Either Mid January or March for carving as the conditions are nicest around those times with deep packed pow over boilerplate or granular mush in march that we can really just sink right into.

[Pow]

im sorry for your loss Dave.

On a brighter note... its... starting... :eplus2: http://www.jiminypeak.com/admin/data/11092007084241.jpg

[Dave ESPI]

West Way, NorthGlade, Slingshot..... W00T !

That pic put a smile on my face today :D

Thanks Pow.

On another happy note, I got conformation I got accepted into a Culinary management degree program this morning through NECI. :biggthump

Starts Jan 14th, and I get to do it from home online while also working at Jiminy.

Double W00T !

[Pow]

very cool, working on your own resteraunt somewhere down the road? Make sure you open up shop somewhere near me... where it wont be too far out of the way coming back from riding!:biggthump

[Pow]

http://www.jiminypeak.com/admin/data/11112007083655.jpg

looks like temps are being more consistant this year <knock on wood>. Hopefully it'll be more favorable for snowmaking. any riding is better than no riding

[xxguitarist]

interested, but will depend on the date & timing etc.
..also, what level are these trails? I've only been on hardboots for a year :o

[Dave ESPI]

Opening weekend was kinda crappy I heard, and today ( looks even worse with the warm weather and rain... will be frozen boiler plate for sure this weekend, so leave the good gear at home. Sunday may be OK if the wind stops and they can actualy lay some snow with all the guns going on the mountain.


I think we are still a few weeks away before any width in trails is established for any sort of agressive carving :(

[Dave ESPI]

Sunday Nov 25th..... one word.

AWESOME !
A Great Day to be On the Slopes!
What a phenomenal day to be on the slopes! I just back from a few fabulous runs and I just had to tell you guys how awesome the conditions are. Jiminy's snowmaking crews have outdone themselves and they really laid out some great coverage and with the sun on it it softened up to a perfect shapeable snow, and yet still remained easily rideable and "Bisquick" texture. Took abotu 15 runs, in the sun down West Way to Grand Slam (wiped out and road/ice rashed my **** all up when I lost edge while pulling a high angle turn), then hit the Berkshire Express for a quick trip back up to the summit and check out North Glade to 360 - trust me, you'll be glad you did! Winter is here! Had a blast today got to see a bunch of familliar faces, and ride with some old friends, got a few sweet carves and trenches, did some training and technique improvements... and ofcourse fell abunch of times and have a well bruised ass from the frozen death-cookies at the bottom of Lower Exhibition into the 180 trail, but oh well, No pain , No fame :D

Saw POW, and Hanz, and we didn't get to ride all together on carvers ( My binds are still in transit from Bomber-inc) unfortunately, but always a good chance for a photo op :)

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/DaveESPI/Pow-Espi11-25-07sm.jpg

[Pow]

A great day, sorry i couldnt stay to ride with you. my body felt like someone had gone over the whole thing with a meat tenderizer after riding the ice and death cookies on friday. Conditions really improved, and except for a few spots where it was darker and icy it was perfect for carving! Now i've just got to remember how to do it right... im slowly getting back in the groove:D

Ohh, and make sure you bring the carver next time so we can teach paragon how to really snowboard;)

[AKBoarder]

I am gettin anxious to ride. Too bad my board is still up in AK or else i would be up there this weekend.

[Dave ESPI]

Updated my original post.


Forming a letter of proposal.

[cail]

Dave... any update regarding when or if this is going to be held???

[Dave ESPI]

Have been a bit lax on it, and need to ask "the powers that be" if we can still do it. The season has been a bit "off" as all the good snow has been up in Vermont this year.

After Presidents week if the business is good, they will be in better spirits to entertai such day. Perhaps the weekend after ESCS. Thats the target zone. Weather has NOT been cooperating much. We need a good dump in the beginning of march or else it will just be a Spring slush-mush-fest for us.

[Pow]

this areas getting shat on as far as ski conditions go. It seems like theres a bubble of bad conditions surrounded by epic ones, and we're right in the center:smashfrea

[Dave ESPI]

March : 'Teen something............

Spring conditions, "rip it and rape it".

Final details after ESES

[nucarver]

Dave, I'm interested too. Even though I am new to the hardboot setup and alpine board, it would be great to ride with a bunch of like-minded riders. I transitioned from 22 years of softboots over the past year...still not fully broken of my old bad habits and I need all the tips I can get:D

P.S. I work at Blandford if anyone gets over this way...let me know.

[Dave ESPI]

NU, as many as we can get into hardbooting, the better :)

Sunday March 2nd was Epic !

Me: @ the top of the 360 run,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_8-1hYP0tk


Queequeg @ the bottom of the run:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XVLZGN3kbc

haha ! atleast we can't really hear the swear from that distance.. :)

Earlier I got Jose on the widows whites run.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RqBe5OpTj4

Saddly, the flap was closed on the camera for an earlier really good run I had, but the audio sounded cool !

Was nice riding with Jose on Sunday. We almost got wiped out by a girl on skies who clearly did not belong on Northglade... Later on in the day at 3:00 I was on the 180, and this kid came outa nowhere and went right infront of me, and we had a mild collision..... snowboarder + snowboarder..... but we were OK



http://aycu39.webshots.com/image/45998/2005983585016956814_rs.jpg

Jose (Quequag) and I this past sunday.

http://aycu24.webshots.com/image/45863/2005924710257185741_rs.jpg

We had a blast! was really great groom carve conditions. A bit too packed with slow moving obsticles to really rip it (for fear of more near miss collisions), but we still had fun and got a few vids.

I'm going to try for the BOMBER SUNDAY- weekend of March 16th as the Bomber day. Should be nice spring conditions and the groomers will stoke up Ace Of Spades trail for us nicely.

Will have final word in a week or so.

[ncermak]

I'm in Myrtle the weekend of the 16th...do it this weekend!!!!!

[Dave ESPI]

NCR, this weekend everyone is at ESCS, and I have the Mountain dew Vertical Challenge at Jiminy on sunday as well.

I'm racing it in hardboots just for chits and giggles :)

I've already qualified for the finals, so this will be just a race against the clock and myself :)

[willywhit]

Jose, those firefightin' pants are saweeet !

I think Espi's dad is really Geddy Lee :biggthump

[Pow]

I think Espi's dad is really Geddy Lee :biggthump

If Geddy's 10 feet tall, then definately!:D

[willywhit]

If Geddy's 10 feet tall, then definately!:D

Espi knows about Give'r ?

Don't be a hero. Pick a hill that's not too steep! Small children and people worried about their brain should wear a helmet. :nono:

oh i love it. whenever i can fit that into conversation...:argue:


wish i could be there for bomber day... i still havent been on ace of spades since they opened it to the masses.

[Pow]

Ace of spades rocks! and so does Geddy. I never imagined the guy quite so silly.

[jpenn]

Hey - I hope to make it up for Bomber Day at Jiminy - any word when yet?

[Dave ESPI]

Welcome Jpenn Nice to see new members :)


I'm going to try for the BOMBER SUNDAY- weekend of March 16th as the Bomber day. Should be nice spring conditions and the groomers will stoke up Ace Of Spades trail for us nicely.

Will have final word in a week or so

[Dave ESPI]

Well I got shot down for this weekend.
JEEP Slopestyle event is going on as well as the "handi-capeable" races.
there will be more room to move around in the country store bathroom stall than there will be on the slopes.
Sunday will also be RETRO-DAY.

SO !

I'm shooting for the last weekend in March. Sunday the 29th of March is Bombers at Jiminy Peak day.

I'm going to nail all this down solid this weekend for sure.

:smashfrea

[paragonUE]

i forget, slopestyle is which event?, who alls racing? pros?

[bill b]

Dave, iwas looking for you at jiminy today. what an unbelievable day .i have never been able to turn like i did today. the mountain was empty and we were able to find corduroy all day. i was amazed at the amount of snow still around.as long as the weather holds up you should be ok for carvers day. i will do my best for that day but the spring is tough with the kids schedules, bill

[Dave ESPI]

Bill, I was sooooo jonsin` to get out today.. I have a rentiger on lend from a friend, and since I was at West Mountain on tuesdaynight, my form inthis "snow" or ice groom, what ever ya want to call it, has become downright "deadly"..... I managd to scare myself, and I have not done that in a few years.... Speed + hard carve = bliss, and a heart rate I can feel in my ears.

I'll be there this Sunday for sure I'll be rawking out a solid blue One piece carhardt and the yellow rentiger for retro day.

I'll look for ya.

[bill b]

we were only there for friday, me and my 2 oldest played hooky and shot up thurs night for yesterday. we are not around for the weekend .so ill miss your one piece snow suit but it sounds really cool

[S_carve]

so is bomber day ever going to happen?

[Dave ESPI]

Sunday, March 30th.

Will have final details this weekend.

:biggthump

[cail]

dude.. NICE. i may be back in albany for a week, so I should be able to make it to BOMBER DAY... let me know if it's a definite go..(I hope so after 3 pages of build up :eplus2:)

[queequeg]

Jose, those firefightin' pants are saweeet !

Thanks! I love them. Sadly, they are really starting to take a beating. I've been looking for a source for silver mylar so that I can replace them, but I can't seem to find the stuff ANYWHERE!. Yeah so umm ... if anyone just happens to know where I can order a few yards of silver mylar, or buy some used airforce-issue firefighter pants ... uhh ... hit me up.

I just ordered a new pair of burton pants, but it just aint the same. The Tinman needs his silver pants.

I'll be there for the bomber day ... any way I can get a ride from Troy to the mountain from somebody? I may be able to borrow my Aunts SUV but I'm not sure and don't want to be presumptious ... she knew me in my wilder days and I'm not sure if she would loan me her car ... heh-heh.

[cail]

haha.. hey queequeg... yeah if i'm definitely in albany next week i can pick you up in troy.

[queequeg]

haha.. hey queequeg... yeah if i'm definitely in albany next week i can pick you up in troy.

Coolio - thanks!

Called my Aunt and uncle tonight and I think I can stay with them over the weekend.

[Dave ESPI]

I got Official permission to hold a carvers day at Jiminy Peak March 30th from 9 am till Noon on the Ace-Of-Spades trail. It will be closed to general public, so that we have no fears of interlopers running through our swathy rips.
The double chair will be in service for us as a dedicated lift as well.

If I get a list of people who want to come in advance, I can get 10.00 off lift passes for them, but it may also be an "E-coupon" day so passes may only be 35.00 if you go to the www.jiminypeak.com (http://www.jiminypeak.com/) website and sign up for it and print it out and bring it to the ticket windo (we will know more in a day or 2 on this) if not, I do have a bunch of 10.00 off coupons if people get a hold of me also.

AIM: DaveESPI
Yahoo IM: Masterbetta1

You can also e-mail me through Bombers if you would like to come,or post your name to a running list here in this thread. Thanks :)

cheers,

D.

ps: I had the biggest "YARDSALE" ever in my riding career yesterday. I was hauling ass down the middle drop off of whirlaway into Exhibition trail, and I really do not know WTF happened. Was in a heal to toe transition, then the board "hopped" out from under me it chattered once, twice, then "ping!"my board came completely off, and I was sliding about 50 feet down the hill in a "ninja turtle" backspin, thankfully I had a leash ! (first time EVER needing it!)

Lets just say I came to stop, and immediately throught my legs were both broken........... I was fine though, but my confidence was shaken. Faith in these "non-releaseable" bindings is a bit waivering....... I may be velcro straping the toe bails once I lock in from now on.

[Pow]

Ill be there! where and when are we meeting? are we just going to look for the bright shiny pants and go that way?:eplus2:

looking forward to riding with Queequeg for the first time, and Cail n Espi again. not paragon, he makes too many mom jokes. and it hurts my feelings:(

see you guys sunday!:cool:

[bill b]

Dave , on behalf of the berkshires hard booters ,thanks for arranging this(notice i said hardbooters ,not carvers, i dont consider myself a carver yet) unfortunatly i wont be able to attend but i will be at the mountain thurs and fri with my older girls getting one last shot in for the season.i will post a conditions report friday to get all the carvers fired up, also good luck with the new job, we will have to check the new place out. Bill

[cail]

i'm still in texas and might not make it back by sunday. if i can't book a flight for saturday i wont make it for sure.

queequeg, you may want to find out from Dave or POW if you can get a ride with one of them.

[Dave ESPI]

9:00 am until 11:00 Ace of Spades trail will be for just us boarders if we get ~10 people to show up and be ready to go at the 6 pack lift (Berkshire express) around 9 am.
Right now it looks like there is 7.

anyone know how to get in touch with the carvefathers?

Hey, where'd that copy come from, Dave? I'll come if I can really ride for $10 with my season pass to Wachoo... I didn't see that offer anywhere on the Jiminy site though. Anybody coming through Worcester and wanna give me a ride?

[Dave ESPI]

flux, I think you are missunderstanding what I posted.

At the time I was unsure if it was going to be an E-ticket day, OR I can give 10.00 off (a regular priced lift pass) coupon. It worked out that the powers that be decided to do an e-ticket discount this weekend aswell (usualy just once a month).

With the 5 inches of fresh snow today, it should be awesomely awesome sunday :)

i'm bummed... man i'm not gonna make it back this weekend... so wanted to ride again :angryfire

Actually, I was referring to this text, which was in the "Weekend Update" that you posted a couple of posts up:


Season pass holders from another mountain are invited to come skiing or riding at Jiminy this spring for just $10 when their valid 2007/2008 season pass from another area is presented at the Crane Lodge Ticket Window.

I was just trying to find confirmation of that on the website, but couldn't, so I was wondering where that text came from.

Sweet. I'm there. I'll drive myself out there if I have to, but carpooling sure would be nice... I'll split gas and tolls. Anyone game?

[Bobby Buggs]

My kid's cub scout "dinner" is on the 30th from 12 to 4 o'clock. I've been trying all week to get out of going to this but I can't. Welcome to the machine:mad:

[Dave ESPI]

Jim, I was a cub scout once......... I ended up an EAGLE scout.

Its a good program, be glad you are there with your son :) .... but I share your agony as I too have missed many a good "things" due to Blue and Gold dinners, and cout of Honors that conflicted with:
"Fun"....
:lol:

I confirmed the 10.00 "Mountain ambasador" pass....good deal!

I'll be sure to call and speek to Mountain ops and ask um to make AoS super sweet for us :)

Bobby, no worries :) I picked up a K2 Nemisiss and will be destroying the soft crud on it instead of the proto.

We all will meet at the Main lift base around 9:00 am. I'll be there a bit early to put up some "closed for race" gates on the A.O.S. trail.

Sofar it looks like 10 of us +/- 2 and whoever wants to come join :)

Was great getting out with everyone today.

oh, and I don't know about you guys, but I got home. and my face is sunburnt..... I look completely silly. I'm going to have to go to a tanning booth and have a "facial" to cover up the areas that are tan outside where my helmet and chin straps cover are.



I'll see of I can get a good pic of it, but I bet you 3 have similar "odd tans"

:lol:
