Crystal Mtn. Mini-Session?

[Keenan]

Hey, last year we had a group of 6 on a Monday in February. I'm posting to see if anyone wants to get together again. Monday, Tuesday or Fridays are good for me. Is anyone else game?

[mike g.]

Hey this is mike, I think I was there. Newbie on a rossi all mountain. I could use some more help. Now I have a rossi 184. I need to learn to control. and set up.

Mondays work good for me.

I'll be a pretty sketchy tentative for that this season, but don't rule me completely out. I will be at Baker Sunday, gimme a shout if you are going to be there...unless someone wants to meet up @ Stevens Pass instead.

Last years little event was fun, too bad you guys didn't follow me up to Baker the next day. 6 inches of pow in the bowl off of chair 8, laps with one other guy that met me up there. Great time!

i can do just about any day during the week.
It would be good to see you again Keenan.

just a couple of days notice..

[Keenan]

Mike and Al (and john if you can make it), I look forward to riding with you again. Art, Galen and Sky, are you out there?

Oooh, I spotted two hardbooters on the mountain today (Sunday 1/4), beautiful packed powder, even the moguls were soft :)

My hard boots got lost in the mail on the way back from japan, so I'm riding softies until I work up the courage to purchase another $480 pair of boots but if you'll let me ride along I'd love to hang out with some hard booters, finally, after years of solo action in Japan!

First day of the season for me was today; lo-and-behold, I can lay down some trenches riding switch! Mmmmhhhhh. Go softies!

[Keenan]

How does Monday the 9th sound to everyone? Hopefully the snow will be a little more packed than last year.

Mrjamie, I forgot to respond earlier. I hope you can make it on the 9th as well. Mike, I'll see you then, I might not make it until 9:30 or so due to daycare, but if I don't see anyone in the lodge I'll head over to the Queens chair and find you.

[mrjamie]

Is anyone going to be passing through Olympia on the way there and back?
It's a lot to ask, so don't worry about me if Oly is way out of the way for everyone.

[Art]

Looks like Im a go. MrJamie, if you can get to Auburn I can give you a ride.

[mrjamie]

Whoops -- too close to the line.

Hopefully in the future we can ride together.
Have fun this time!
Carve some trenches, enjoy the powder ya bastids.

I think it was me and my friend Mark on the way up to BC for our annual cat-ski trip.

Awesome day at Crystal with the new snow.

[mrjamie]

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for those at least :)

[scubaree]

I love the pics. I wish I had new snow like that here:angryfire

Anybody needs a ride from the southend or carpool from E-Claw or Maple Valley let me know. What time are we meeting and radio channel #? Hope for more snow see you on the 9th.

[Keenan]

For anyone who is planning on going to Crystal next Monday, they have just announced $40 tickets for Mondays in February (excluding Prez Day). The only catch is you have to order your tickets online.

Art - I figured everyone would meet in the lodge about 9AM, like last year. I'll be a little later due to daycare drop off, I'll also try to find my radio, whatever channel works for you.

https://www.tixforskicrystal.com/e-commerce/itemList.aspx go here for tix, dont forget to print out the online invoice and take it with you they need the bar code. 9-13 radio? see you there

[C5 Golfer]

I be there -- looks like it maybe a square tail day.

[C5 Golfer]

I just got a report form a couple of skiers there today.. lots of rock and bare ground... I may rethink going.. It sucks right now.

[mike g.]

That's what I heard, about crystal to. rocks,and dirt. But I already bought my ticket. So I guess, I'll have a nice lunch. Talk carving with who ever comes up. After a few run-s.

Later

There isn't enough coverage on the steeper slopes, however the groomers are good, especially Queens chair. They are also supposed to get some more coverage this weekend. I really don't want to damage my new board but I'm planning on riding it, I'm pretty confident there will be enough snow.

[Art]

Ill be there either way. First day of the year for me, so cruising is just fine by me.

for those that missed it, the three of us represented on the carving tip! Actually the snow was pretty damn good, sun was out, and crowds were working trying to stimulate the economy. The rest of us slacjkers (Blegojovich?) were busy selling our sport to the uninformed masses one baggy pants turn and cigarette butt at a time. Actually, nobody even noticed us. But I took this to try to show up the world carving session (no CAPS, they dont deserve it) on an Iphone no less. Keenan and Mike, Thanks.
