Who's Showing Up??? SES 2012!

[corey_dyck]

Are we talking "bring your rock boards" kind of coverage?

[digger jr]

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH!

When have you ever had a bad time in Aspen? I have already sacrificed, 1: my first born, 2: my virginity, 3: my Northland 210cm Stein Erickson E 11 skis, to the Snow Gods. The only problem we will have at SES 2012 is if it snows too much. And I have a new Coiler coming that will see no rocks!

Think Positive!

There'll be at least 2 Kiwis there this year. I'm in Aspen from Jan 26th till the end or until my knees give out. Looking forward to learning a bunch from all you Carver Extraordinaires

Good to see more of a southern hemisphere contingent! You'll have a blast at SES. It's really choice, bro!

After 3 years of absence I will be there this year. I have only one question. What I will do there? I did not do anything over summer during illness and now I have only several half days on manmade snow on bunny slopes. Probably can drink beer, but I could do it at home and it would be cheaper neither to say snow reports from Aspen are too encouraging.

EXACTLY! Ok, it might not be the feet of base that we are used to, but the snow is definitely enough to carve on! Actually, isn't it a carver's dream to be a bit firm and groomed?

If you are planning to come to SES and have not yet purchased your (1) package and (2) lift tickets, do so very soon! The deadline is next week!!!

I was all set to go to SES this year - totally looking forward to it after such a fun time last year.... But I just learned that SkES is scheduled to substantially overlap SES this year (it starts just one day earlier.) Well, poo!!!! Who schedules these things anyway?!?!?! Very difficult to decide between the two coolest expression sessions on the planet, but when it comes right down to it, I have to go with to the very best and coolest - so SkES it is.

Maybe the scheduling will work out better next year so I can attend both. Have fun everybody!!!

[John E]

We'll excuse you this time but only if coverage of skES outdoes last years.

Expectations are very high!

[Mike T]

2R, Bummer I can't maker some turns with you at SES.... but I am very, very happy to hear that SkES is happening

I will be there with my wif (who doesn't carve but skis) and bringing two buddies i carve with from GJ. Third year in a row for 4 days. Pure carve clinic was the best in 2011! You guys do a great job!

[Dan Lambert]

I'll be there from Jan 28-Feb 13 - can hardly wait.

NWS models predict large amplitude high pressure in Western CONUS starting Fri Feb 3? Maybe the stars are aligning.

[GavinB]

I'll be there from 9am on Jan 28-Feb 12 - can't wait either.
12:24am now ... have to get up at 3am and leave Hood River for Portland airport at 3:30am. Still need to get some sleep. Journey begins in 2.5 hours.

I just was up on Snowmass, and things are good. The snow we had last week really helped the mountain out, and the grooming is getting more consistent. All in all, a very good day out on the hill.

[AMK]

One more day, bring some sun

[SunSurfer]

Sitting in my room in Snowmass, arrived this afternoon. I never thought I'd get so puffed on so few stairs.
Still, the acetazolamide has done its' stuff, no sign AMS as yet.
By the quirks of date lines etc. I arrived in Aspen at exactly the same time (Thursday 2nd Feb, 12:05) as I flew out of Wellington, New Zealand.

All set for riding Friday and onwards ......
