  1. OMG this squirrel is lucky to have its rail/head/limbs/torso et all Yes this really happened at the Olympics
  2. +1 I would also like to get lesson(s) from Keenan at Meadows
  3. Unless I'm mistaken the parallel GS is tonight on NBC in pdx area 8:35-10 eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv-listings I will be severely disappointed if this is not true
  4. Holidays and a long death flu have had me off of here for a while and I am sorry to everyone who posted that I did not respond to. I am still looking for boots. Thank you Wolf for the response. Do you still have these boots? I am a lighter rider so think the 225s would be a good fit for me.
  5. Looking to buy Deeluxe Track 225 hardboots, size mondo 26.5 (us men's 8.5). Thank you
  6. Do you still have these? If you can accept $200 shipped I will take them
  7. I've been using some old Burton Reactors that are nearly 2 sizes too big for me. Looking for some that fit. I wear US men's 8.5 so am looking for a size Mondo 26.5 boot. I live in Portland Oregon. Thank you.
  8. I am in the Portland OR area looking for some 26.5 hardboots before the season starts! I have boots to offer: These Burton Reactors were my first hardboots ever (only pair of hardboots at ski swap years ago) and I've been using them until...last season realized they were way too big for me (I know, I know). They are mondo 28 (US men's 10) and I wear a US men's 8.5 so am looking for a mondo 26.5 pair of hardboots (no wonder I kept catching my toeside...) Can anyone use these boots? One of the straps at the top had it's velcro fall off but this can be solved with some glue. Everything else functional but I'd really like to trade them for some boots that fit me. I also have some old Burton 3-hole plate bindings where one of the toe bail clips broke. They would be good for parts or bindings if the toe bail is replaced. I would be grateful for your consideration if you see or have any 26.5 boots lying around. Also if you could use these 28 reactors and/or bindings. I'm on a budget and spent most my snow money on a Meadows pass this year so used/old/cheap is all good as long as they are functional. Thank you! Apologies if I posted this in the wrong thread.
  9. late reply I know but where might one seek these things out in Bend?
  10. Meadows :) Despite being the worst, last year was my first year here and I still had a lot of fun. I will join you on that anomaly thought and raise you a powdery January! :cheers:
  11. :( saw that in the wweek today...I am new to Hood but these pics look brutal. http://www.wweek.com/portland/blog-33531-timberline_ends_its_shortest_ever_season_on_sunday.html hoping my 2015-16 season pass deposit was a wise move
  12. Sorry to have missed you guys. I woke up completely exhausted, got up and dressed, and then passed out downstairs next to my snowboard till 11am. Hope everyone had a good day. Maybe catch some of you at Timberline later this month... carve diem
  13. I may get up to Meadows tomorrow (Fri) morning. I'll be watching for y'all if I do. I have an orange helmet and black pants and red boots, red oldskool leash, usually black jacket. You will certainly be able to spot me; I will be much slower/less dignified than any of you. Went up yesterday/Wednesday (sorry didn't post prior, it was a 6:30am decision) and the morning was great; lots of groomed trails and nice wide runs. Had a good time off of Cascade. It was skiied out and choppy a couple hours in and slushy by the afternoon. I got Grant Myrdal'd and that was good feedback; I am way too upright, shoulders/hips not squared to front of board, back hand not in front/squared, back knee not tucked...mostly, not square (This photo and next 2 http://meadowsactionphotos.smugmug.com/Dailygalleries1415/Wed-april-8-cascade-upper/48496556_vz5Sdw#!i=3980579931&k=8tKwhsD&lb=1&s=A The dry erase sign at the loading area for Cascade said CARVE the DIEM ...I shoulda taken a picture of that Going to Utah Saturday to visit a friend for a week and then looking forward to Timberline when I get back! Because I assume Meadows will be closed. Even though this is The Worst Season Yet for my first time back I've had a great time this year and am really thankful to be reunited with the snow. Hope to see/meet you soon and that you get some nice turns in in until then. Happy trails :)
