The LCI but everyone here already knows that. Good to see another mtn getting a crew of regulars together. ink

Good group minus the BIG one. Hillb, Ice, SVR, OddJob, J49, greenie and myself on snow today. Softer groom then expected had large trenches being made by all. Practice field was destroyed quickly, fire cut was finally groomed wide with ridges, rolls and other abnormalities. Roulette was pretty good but again, trenched up quickly. Spillway was the firmest run on the hill today. Richards was the usual good stuff till the lift line crossing where idiots were jumping onto the run without spotter or even looking up. Thankfully none of us were taken out. Greenie, get more aggressive with your riding, both soft and hardboots. Great to see you in the lineup again and hope you make it out before the season finale. Ink Hoping for a more complete recovery from BIGs so he can be back on hill this coming weekend.

That's Chet's Dream lift at 830. Hope you can make it and good luck at Nats. ink

I think these were actually an early design/prototype for the skibords or whatever they call the little short fruitbooter skis. I have a set of the first gen TD1's, when Fin sold them out of his car, and they aren't cut out through the middle like these are. ink

I knew Tom from my racing days. Had several big events at Mammoth and met him at one of those but never got to ride with him. Good conversation though. ink

Do it, if it is a strong enough board to start with. Mario is correct with choice of tools. I used and angle grinder to cut through the edges. I cut down a 178ish Donek incline to be 164 Swallowtail so it would work better in pow and still carve well. ink

I think only the NSFNG made it up this weekend. ink

Yur jus a phookin monsta @MR. JOHN DEERE ! ink

We have a newer member @Harrison Bell who does this too at Breckenridge. Check his IG for more. Not sure if he has a YouTube channel. ink

According to Lovey forecast that refresh should be Friday and Saturday. ink

Killer riding! ink

What boots, bindings, heel/toe lift, stance width were they running? Probably could have made a life or death difference. big jerry

Glad you're ok Marvin ink

This is an understatement if I have ever heard one. ink

What helmet are you wearing? Are your gloves race rated? Is your outfit color coordinated? What Odd Job said is correct. Technique. And that is different then the technique riding an SL board as a freecarver. Being told where to turn and how sharp is a whole different world. Actual question...Are you working with a coach or just going at it alone? ink

Spring break is upon us. Basin lot 3/4 full by 745 so plan accordingly. ink

Softies tomorrow for me. Got some DJ buddies coming up to play. hard or soft on Sunday depending on how I feel. ink

Bob is @softbootsurfer

Loveland Carve Initiative...taking over the mountain one carver at a time. We go to Loveland and can get you a $95 buddy pass on Sunday should you desire. The amount of info, feedback, help and camaraderie is well worth that price in what you can take back to Copper on Monday and the rest of the season. Heck, you may even want to join us on future trips for even more of our shenanigans. ink P.S. May be a smaller (fewer riders) sesh as some folks are currently slumming it in Japow and may or may not be on hill if back before the weekend.

And you haven't joined the LCI for a Sunday sesh?!? Loveland Basin, 8:30 at Chet's Dream lift. Post up in the Yo LCI! thread for Colorado and we look forward to meeting, riding and helping you out. ink

Looks like Brad's trying to bend that 201 Tanker all the way around himself. Such a ripper and great pic @Riceball! ink

No on cooper. Yes on the 19th. Hope you can make it out. ink P.S. Miss Shelly made it out to get some runs with us. Joining on 6 then moving to Chets for some Richards runs which was quite good too.

3/10 is Friday, none of the LCI will be on hill. We will be on hill Sunday 3/12 though. The incline rips with HB or SB, your choice should you test it out with both. Angle numbers don't matter as much as not having any overhang. Set up the binders so your heels and toes are at the edges. Add enough splay between front and rear to your liking. Go out and get aggressive with the Rev next time you ride it. ink

Killer riding James, nice work! I look forward to watching and sharing your next vid with friends who are starting to carve. ink

We are usually running greens and blues so no worries there. Lovey doesn't usually groom black diamonds. Your incline works well with hardboots too. I have a highly modified, very early version that up until this season I only rode with HBs. Boot heel and toe to the edges, not over, to prevent dragging when tipped high on edge. Let us know when you can join us. ink
