  1. I might go Wed or Fri this week, not sure yet but I'll let you know! I can't even carve in softies right now so I'm going to look real bad in my hardboots ;)
  2. Oh my, has it really been 5 years since I posted here and last carved? A mortgage, a Mrs., and offspring can do that to even the most dedicated carver. Doesn't help I had to replace my ACL 4 years ago too Anyways, I work for myself right now so I got a midweek Summit pass. I got on the lift for the first time in forever last week during the storm and it felt great. Anyone else only available weekdays?

    The code

    +1 I've mostly given up on carving at Mammoth unless I get to Chair 2 on the first few chairs or I'm there on weekdays. June Mountain is where you can get your carve on
  4. Looking for the latest sidewinders to use on Voile plates. Probably a stretch but worth a shot
  5. I'm partial to Alpine Meadows. Squaw Valley is nearby too but it can get crowded. I'll never go to Northstar on a weekend again. If time's limited I think Mt Rose is 30 minutes from Reno.
  6. Just ordered the plates. I love stuffing my own Xmas stockings
  7. Bleh, so much for a weekday carve session this Friday. But if you don't have a pass this is a sweet deal! http://www.mammothmountain.com/MountainActivities/WhatsNew/
  8. Looks like there will be no pow! :( Our friends way up in the PNW are getting the goodies. I'll probably be on my old Burton Ultra Prime, look for me :) http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Mammoth+Lakes&state=CA&site=REV&textField1=37.6486&textField2=-118.971&e=0
  9. I had a rear bail that went out on me mid carve. I'm not an aggressive rider or a big guy...155lbs give or take. It was likely user error in setting it up but who knows.
  10. Wider board and lower angles help me learn too. As I got the hang of it I started going with 65* but found the optimal setting for me to be at 50-55*.
  11. Looks like Chair 2 is open now! http://forums.mammothmountain.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11932&start=15#p208842 I think I know the answer but it's still rock board season isn't it? :(
  12. I believe I have some old mondo 24s so let us know after you've measured. I prefer to carve on intermediates too and when I follow my friends to the blacks I do a lot of skarving. The only time I enjoy steeps are pow days.
  13. Looks like Christmas might come early for us! http://forums.mammothmountain.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11616&start=375#p207545 Might have to leave the Coiler at home hehe
