Bummer, wish I had gone now. Of course, if I had the weather would have sucked, so really I did y'all a favor!

Opting for sunny skies, 20 min drive and not having to pay for a lift ticket today... enjoy TLine!

Looks like Bachelor will have better weather but less snow. Game-time decision for me in the AM... if for any reason any of you decide to head down to Bachelor, or have any other news to share,...

Palmer closed, Mile closed... looks like I made the right call going back to sleep this AM. Didn't feel like dealing with the massive PPP detour home from Bachelor either, so went to yoga this AM...

Who's been riding Bachelor? I haven't been up since May 4. I see a 38" base which, early season, means "rock boards".

Bachelor has lost a LOT of snow, not sure its worth a trip. Keenan?

Will check weather cams bright and early and decide if I am coming.

Hoping for a fast turnaround w/ the weather. I don't see myself driving up unless I'm pretty sure Palmer will be open and have decent visibility...

Sure hope the weather holds out!

Wow, that's a pretty strong statement (the last quoted sentence). Having said that, I too practice Iyengar yoga, and can attest to it being time well spent. I've certainly had fewer issues from...

Probably in for Sat the 18th, not sure about any of the other days. May have a 174 Coiler Nirvana Energy demo, ideal weight 190 pounds.

dbmgreen - mine can both do trees, not like my Prior Fissile which is designed for trees, but as well as my old Inclines and Steepwaters. It' probably more similar to the AM VSR than any other...

I haven't ridden the a recent Incline, but I'm going to venture a guess that this is not the case. My understand is that the Incline is targeted as a more all-around board and the Coiler is more...

I'm a sucker for softies in soft or variable snow...

For fluffy snow I'm on a Prior Fissile 172. Early rise, otherwise normal camber. It's got a really sweet flex, amazing in trees, floats...

Click through to my profile... 'nuff said. Having said that, my wife has an equally impressive collection of Doneks (as well as a couple Coilers of her own)

NASTAR isn't as standardized as one would hope... the Mt. Bachelor course was so flat and easy there was nothing separating the men from the boys. My results from 09/10... see what I mean?
...

+1 on Race Place grinds and edge work. Never had them do any repairs of a more serious nature such as replacing an edge, adding inserts, etc...

P.S. Downright icy on Leeway today, everything...

That's awesome that NW will stay open longer!!!! Snaposhot to Atkeson's is a great carving run time that of year on a tight-radius board.

F2s should give you plenty of adjustment... but only if you are in the middle of the size range. I can get a good amount of toeside or heelside bias out of size M's with a size 25 boot, but my...

Go Lynn!

I do 1 base, 3 side. 0 base drives me nuts when riding on mellow to moderate pitches w/ grippy snow. I like grippy edges for early morning spring frozen cord.

As far as structure goes, I...

Yes. The flex pattern is quite different, and IMHO much friendlier. The Nirvana takes my favorite aspects of the VSR, Monster, and Classic and puts them in one board.

I have a VSR 170 and a...

It has indeed been forever! Unfortunately, weekend riding only for a few weeks for me. Would love to catch up!

So I'm on my Prior Fissile w/ softies, enjoying some freshies...

"Is that a speed board"?

I used to get hit often when wearing black. I got a red jacket, and got clipped once or twice but no hard hits. Got the bright orange jacket in my avatar, and not even a close call.

I watched some johnasmo video from closing weekend a year or two ago- looks great! Unfortunately my calendar is full the two middle weekends in April.
