hey, are you going to try to plan some kind of get together this year? I know you were talking about it last season, but I didn't know if there were any dates or anything set. I was thinking I'd try to come up for a few, if I can.

[mark pinch]

Hey, I'm in guys. Let's get a date set out ahead of time.

[mike g.]

I think the dates where at the end of feb.

[kram]

Feb 22 to 27

[b0ardski]

NICE AT SCHWIETZER

We'll be talking with Schwietzer's marketing guys about what group benefits we can get. They're cutting back from last year so I haven't posted any thing yet til we know for sure..

The date dates are locked in for Feb. 22 thru 27 so It's gonna happen whether or not the bean counters give us discounts or early load priveleges. We're working on some demos also.

A handful of carvers will be out this morning working out the early season cramps.

Last year we had some good carving conditions but it could become a powder fest with La Nina in action.
Stay tuned, a devoted thread for NICE will be coming soon with details, pics, maps and lots of stoke.:biggthump

[Steve Prokopiw]

they didn't offer the early season escape card this year so I have been sticking to our little valley.The best deal they offer now works out to 56.00 a day.Seems a bit misguided to cut out all the deals when people need to be enticed to spend anything right now.If I lived closer I would have done a midweek pass....

[b0ardski]

Day for Heather(cancer center benefit) at schwietzer on Fri, 10th
$10 lift tickets

back bowl to open, snow forcasted thru the weekend with a foot expected by Friday. Powder fever will be rampant get there early:biggthump

[Steve Prokopiw]

I'll be up there with my two groms in that case!

[Steve Prokopiw]

The wife reminded me that the kid's skis/boots are up on Silver Mt with no access til Fri and getting the boys rentals after a 2 1/2 hr drive just ain't in the cards.

I will try my damdest to get up there soon.

[b0ardski]

Ring, Ring
hello
hi boss, I can't make it in today I'm sick with fever
click POWDER FEVER:eplus2:

[wingnuts514]

boardski, are you gonna ride tomorrow?

[b0ardski]

I'd love to get some turns in with ya but I'm not gonna make it Sun.:( I have a small job to finish up.:)
Schedule is a bit chaotic right now as we're down to 1 rig till we can save up for a head gasket:mad: replacement on mrs. b0ardski's explorer.

looks like I'm riding tue, wed, and maybe fri. this week, won't make it on a weekend til the day after christmas.

[b0ardski]

Yesterday I found stashes of 2' blower:eplus2:
Today I'm goin up for the afternoon to brave the cold in the sunshine.

[Steve Prokopiw]

but I slammed into a toeside yesterday and shoulder slammed a mound of fresh with a hard center.Ouch.

So,I'm gonna come up and ride with Kram sometime next week,maybe Thusday or Friday.

[kram]

Friday will work for me. I will be at Red next week untill then.

[wingnuts514]

Troy where were ya Friday! I talked to Russ, good to finally meet another hardbooter, really nice guy. He gave me your digits and I called and left a message for ya. I had a breakthrough carving day, mostly rode vagabond on the backside all day. The steeper runs are still hard for me though. I raised my angles to 65/60 and the carves came easier but damn did it kill my quads for the next few days!

[Steve Prokopiw]

Friday will work for me. I will be at Red next week untill then.

I think I'll take a raincheck ,literally,due to the forcast Friday of rain low and snow high,since I love Schweetzer when I can see it,but vis will undoubtedly be low.That and 4&1/2 hours driving in it just doesn't sound appealing right now since I already commute to Cda daily.

Let's see what next week brings.Thursday works best since I was going to have to find other daycare for my youngest because our daycare person doesn't do Fridays.(Weird, I know) If Friday is the only day that works for you I can probably work something out.

[kram]

Next Thursday I will be on my way home from White Water:cool: (i know, i know my life sucks) The week after that I will be home at Schweitzer so lets make a plan for Thursday the 20th

[b0ardski]

sorry I missed ya wingnut got there about 1;30 due to other obligations.

So kram, red this week and whitewater next, what, sschwietzer aint enough any more eh?

Hey Steve I rode severe "ski by braille" today
you didn't miss much.

I will be back for a week after that. But then off to Whitefish for WTF.
The life of a snow bum is a tuff one

[b0ardski]

Had the best night session in years friday night. Dumping all afternoon and the fresh was chopped up but the nidecker loved it carving 6"+ ruts through the piles and scrapes with equal aplomb forward & switch. Big grins till my legs gave out.

Thanks Ross

Today was hard and fast. A little too hard for my skill level:freak3:. Looks like we could be getting a little snow today and tonight. Tomorrow should be better.
Steve are you going to make it up on Thursday?

[b0ardski]

one word
firm

B chute was the best run on the upper mt, smooth and consistent.
pend orielle was totally brutal with refrozen groomer death cookie strips and scraped ice in between.
I took the Nidecker down Heathers on the face and even though off piste was merely survival skiing pend oriellle was worse.
I found myself jealous of friends with 2 edges so I'm bringing skis up today(1st time this year) to soak up the cold sun in comfort. think I'll bring a board to as my ski muscles will be weak.

[Steve Prokopiw]

tommorrow.Sorry I didn't confirm til now.Confirm that you can still do it and I'll be coming up tommorrow.

[kram]

tommorrow.Sorry I didn't confirm til now.Confirm that you can still do it and I'll be coming up tommorrow.

the conditions aren't the best but I will be there. Inside the lake view lodge at 8:30ish, at the clock tower at 8:50.
What's you plan?

[Steve Prokopiw]

what do you mean by that? Should I save my gas/beer money for a better day? I'm cool with that.I could put that toward going to WTF and see you there.

[kram]

See you at WTF. What's you plan for that?

[Steve Prokopiw]

Based on work and family schedule,I may have to go twice to get more than one day.I was thinking this Sunday and maybe next Thurs or Friday or both of those days with an overnite.Have to take a closer look at funds.

Deja'vu
Had another best night session in years friday night. Dumping all afternoon and the fresh was chopped up but the 173 Identity loved it carving 6"+ ruts through the piles and scrapes with equal aplomb forward & switch. Big grins till my legs gave out.

The fresh snow has almost cured our ice problem

[b0ardski]

woohoo
8" of fresh fluffy fun for tue.

[b0ardski]

Friday was a freakin sweet carving day with just soft enough groomers. In the afternoon when the toyota ski free crowds thinned out the 185 Identity, with newly added heel lift & widened stance, kicked steep groomer a$$ with high speed edge to edge "ribbon candy" carves. This impressed several peeps watching from the lift to catch me in the liftline, give kudos and ask to make a run with me to watch the wierdo with poles on a snowboard make turns only the ski racers amongst them could match.

Staying home today to let the head deflate:cool:

[kram]

If you weren't there today you missed it.
Sun, perfect visibility and chalky groomers

Just like yesterday but warming up to a balmy 17*
On my way up:eplus2:

[b0ardski]

3rd day in a row of bluebird skies & cold, cold cord.
Happy carves everywhere, even for the 185carbon:biggthump man that thing likes to turn big:p

Some funky snow in spots after Saturdays windstorm but still good carving on Sunday.

Hey guys;
I see some hooking up early. Are we still planning some riding days between the 22 thru the 27th? That's somewhere between a Tuesday and a Sunday. Tuesday is tough for me, other days negotiable.
Steve, I ain't rooming with you. You snore too much!
