    Yo Lci!!

    Katie and I showed. Met up with Skier jeff and did 2 on Ptarmigan and 1 on Twist. all lumpy Bumpy, Poor Vis and drunk leprechauns everywhere. 9:48 on the road home
  4. Well Gunsmoke on Saturdays is a carver's paradise. Or hell depending on how you look at it. Team Horizon (started by a couple of Mammoth Soft boot carvers Knee KOKO and Rayndier (instagram) They are practicing all day every Saturday as a liftie told me, Korean/Japanese carving. Rayn is a Donek Ambassador. I loved it. All super nice and I think I am an Honorary Member after this past Saturday

    There was Cholula hot sauce there as well. Next time i will make sure it is warm mayo in a dirty ashtray. Condiments make the meal. Glad you had a great time!

    A man of Asian origins I know Loves D Lot. Tomorrow looks to be the better carving day with new snow on Sunday. Wouldn't miss a few turns with the Dude so we will likely see you Sunday. Have to save some for Mammoth next week
  7. My Wife Katie and I will be entering Post Snowpocalypse. Riding 1/2 day Thursday 3/7 at Mammoth as we are visiting family in Lone Pine. 3/8 Mammy again. 3/9 June and Back at Mammoth 3/10. Got to love the direct from Denver to Bishop flight. ill have a couple Alloy Snowboards with me. Saturday at June, one will be in the racks Mid mountain if some one wants to try a DO or and AZX. Hope to see some other trenches while there
  8. Anyone have thoughts on how to educate the public/ raise awareness? Resorts spend tons of money building terrain parks with all kinds of rules and signage along with park staff to support and maintain. Some resorts are dedicated to skiing only. Why not dedicate a no passing run like our friends at Turner (during Montucky event) or perhaps a straightliner only space. I mean these are extreme examples but food for thought. Thanks all for your input. I too nearly got creamed by someone this past Sunday from behind of course
  9. so much truth right here NPC (Non Player Character) "NPC" stands for "Non-Player Character" and is used as a metaphor to describe someone who is perceived as lacking independent thought or blindly following trends.
  10. Certainly people pass at the wrong time. They try to pass without making a sound. And instead of passing close after the apex, they shoot across as we reach the apex of the opposite turn. As we sling shot back to the point they thought we wouldn’t be. Gapers will gape…
  11. I'm thinking we should all just start straight lining. This carving thing is not healthy for longevity in snowboarding for carvers. Between Sean and David getting smoked from behind in Europe and recent near hits here daily in CO, is it really worth it for the turn? Interested in your thoughts. I think painting a big bullseye on our backs is the only thing left to do. Interested in thoughts, educating the public/patrol? I think it's time that the General Public, those without passes watch a safety video before entering the slopes like if you were going to drive a go kart. I'm being a bit sarcastic/comedic here as we have all had close calls but seeing videos of good riders getting clobbered or nearly getting clobbered is getting really old. How do we stop it, spread awareness...? I don't know the answer but I'm about to clock myself on Strava doing 70mph in a beginner zone just for kicks and to raise awareness...
