Ray-

I saw carver tracks at snowmass yesterday, but no carver.

Were they yours?

[Ray]

Hi Jim,

No, wasn't at Snowmass yet. Had to warm up a little, did Buttermilk 3 days and Ajax yesterday, ahhhh, felt so good. Back in the rythm now...

Going to Buttermilk with Anja tomorrow and Ajax Monday again... Hope to see you!

Are you at Brexi?

I'm at Brexi Fridays and Staurdays now. My main gig is selling wine, which only leaves time for a couple days at Brexi.

Not sure where I'll be going tomorrow. Depends on how much snow we get tonight and where the good groom is. From what I've been seeing on the grooming report, Tiehack has been getting somewhat shafted by the snowcats.

[Ray]

After the Milk today I really feel like diggin some ruds at Ajax tomorrow morning... Hmm, some sunshine would be nice

[Jim Callen]

Wish I could join, but I've got to work )c: Such is life, I guess.

[Ray]

Sunshine indeed today. Nice day, very fast and firm up there...
Was up tomorrow?

[Ray]

Hmm, not sure yet for tomorrow... hmm...

WHOA! simma down now...

Huh?

[Ray]

Yea, serious lack of pow for sure! I am ok as long as we have good coverage, but a nice bottomless powder day would sure be nice by now

[Jim Callen]

Had the deepest snow today I've seen all year. 3" oh yeah...

[Ray]

Today was so lala... well beats being inside for sure... Hope for sunshine tomorrow and perfect Ajax groom and I will be happy once again

[Ray]

Hmm, Racers Edge is groomed today, so the Milk is it...

Edit: Racers Edge was not groomed, but Tiehack Trail, yummie, one of my favorites at Buttermilk... overall a good day with some very intersting elements.

Hey Bola, in case you read this. Heard you were here yesterday, thanks for not calling, especially after I sent you a text just before you came in to call me, when you get here so we can catch up... wow!!!!!

[Jim Callen]

Good seeing you and Anja yesterday Ray! Sorry I couldn't stick around, it was our last run that turned into our 2nd to last run as we had a prior engagement off hill.

Gonna be riding on Thursday?

Jim,

Good seeing you at Snowmass! I don't know, I am just not a fan of Snowmass, never really have a great day there, don't know what it is, strange
Went to Buttermilk yesterday and rode Tiehack trail most of the day, getting firmer and faster by the day but really great...
Not sure what we do Thursday, will keep you posted. Would be nice to ride with you!

[Jim Callen]

I got a couple hours at Ajax yesterday, and the groom was spectacular. Ruthies was sick sick sick.

Turns out I'm not going to be able to ride on Thursday. I've got a distillary owner coming to town to work with me for a bit.

[Ray]

Ray:

I don't visit here much, lots of things going on right now. Just call me, did not get any text maybe you text the wrong phone number.

Bola

Hope you are doing fine Bola, used your cell number I always had (maybe got a new one?) Will call you at the shop...

Cheers!

[Jim Callen]

Saw you out at Ajax today Ray. Tried finding you, but I think you may have left after the run I saw.

Hmm, must have been my spirit, because I was not out today. Had to work and give my foot some rest (small foot injury from moving still...).
How was it? Snow holding up?

Eh, it was alright. Pretty firm and icy in places, then the light got super flat.

So weird, I could have sworn it was you. Only got to see a couple of turns though, so not the best view.

[Ray]

Really great day ridin Racers Edge all day at the Milk

Hmm, Highlands tomorrow, ready for some good lunch at Cloud Nine...

Yeah, I had a few friends go and bomb Tiehack. They are great skiers who like to go really fast.

Wish I could have been there. Been in Denver all day working.... )c:

[Snowman]

Jim and Ray

How about a no B.S. assesment of the current snow conditions in Aspen, please. Kinda sparse around here, sharks have been eatin up some boards!

Think Snow!

[Jim Callen]

I haven't hit too many rocks this season, and nothing major thankfully, but there are still plenty of brown patches out there.

We are in desperate need of snow. They haven't been grooming much at all as of late, and while the economy is definitely a factor, the lack of snow is a contributing factor as well, IMO.

[Ray]

Best day of my season yesterday at Highlands! Cool stuff. Great (the best here I would say) snow on the upper mountain; Gunbarrel groomed

But yes, the grooming in general is getting worse now, nothing really to groom anymore. NEED SNOW!
