I'll be hitting the slopes on Saturday, same location choice... Now, does anyone know if Killington has better snow coverage than Stratton right now? . . .

You are right. I'm about 150 lbs, 157 Prime feels pretty stiff to me. Bobdea - my 168 Oxygen Proton GS is a HELLUVA LOTS more forgiving board than a FP. AFter all, I believe FP's were made to be a...

FP is a part of my quiver and it's too stiff for a hardboot beginner IMHO. Never tried Speed - not sure if it's more like FP or UP, but pretty sure it's modeled after one of them. UP (Ultra Prime)...

Michael - I'd keep riding the soft setup until you start feeling that your heels/toes get in the way of your carves (start dragging). It's possible to do some nice carving on softies - it just won't...

Stay away from Burton Factory Prime, any other Burton alpine board is fine to start on.

Well . . . hello! It says last time I was on this MB was a year ago. Dang.

For those who still remember me - I'm alive, well, healthy and (arguably) in a right mind. The reason for me being...

Well - I'm 30 . . . :rolleyes: Seen, as mentioned, Yes twice, King Crimson once, and what was left of The Doors last summer . . .

As for "full moon" and "sun going down" - I find that most of...

I'll just HAVE TO second that ...

Got to see them twice this past summer on the 35th aniversary tour . . . Both shows were amazing . . .

I'm quoting Derf because, well, 70's prog is my fav too. Add some King Crimson in the mix, and put Yes on top of the list . . .

Yes and Yes.

I was riding my Oxygen Proton 168 on that day. The year before I did the pond on Burton FP 157 . . .

Speaking of Hunter - they are opening tomorrow to 2-4" of freshies . . .

Can I come too??? Please???

KJL's review sounds eerily akin to the "Movie-a-minute" features on www.rinkworks.comwww.rinkworks.com. At least in style.

However, I agree with KJL's points - the trailer didn't blow me...

My NJ-born and raised wife married a crazy Russian guy . . . Poor woman . . . :D :D :D

Sweet!

Anyone coding at 30+ WPM is NOT thinking about what they are coding . . . They just don't have TIME to think about it . . .
:p

Hunter (where I taught) has implemented a policy where ALL levels of instructors have to teach (including the Director) and they have to teach ALL LEVELS OF STUDENTS. So being AASI Lvl I or Lvl III...

For a part-timer like myself - Level I is sufficient. Level II takes some serious work, and Level III - last I heard 9 out of 10 people taking it - usually fail in one or other aspect (it's a...

I'm AASI Level I certified - taught at Hunter Mtn. for four years . . . Will be taking a break for at least couple of years - baby on the way . . .

Lessons - I've had to take at least 8 hours...

1) 40ft LONG. I'm NOT doing a transfer on a 40ft WIDE table, even if I ever find one in our parts (East coast)

2) Advice based on experience . . . And AASI teachings . . .

40-foot table ALMOST cleared is my longest jump that I was able to stick on a FAIRLY FLEXIBLE Oxygen Proton 168 GS. I do know the difference between the table and a kicker and a roller and a lip . ....

I try to avoid hitting kickers straight-on. From the side is where it's at. Transition from one side to the other if the jump is not TOO wide. Basically, I love jumping (no tricks, just air) but I...

Hah!

The plans are laid out already - on skis by 4 years old, on board by 6 . . .

Mountain Creek is SORTA close - but getting there might be tricky. Pennsylvania - here I come . . . ...

Made me look! :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: mouse traps they are, sorry . . .

BTW - I bought a house out in Hampton, NJ, and now I have a baby on the way (arriving in December) - hence my earlier comment to the effect of "my...

Probably Chip, because I don't remember meeting a tom, nor do I own any boards with green on the topsheet . . .

sic - do I know you? I think I might . . . Did you buy an Alp from me?...

Both of...
