trent Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) it's almost that time of year again. the testing of who can get the lowest, who can smile the biggest, who can last the longest, and who can eat the most sugar after lunch! oh wait, there's also the contest between bobble and bionicman for the camera curse award! weds, FEB 1, 2017 9:30am - ? (and i have NOT seen the lift started before 9:30 yet this year. silly vail policies/rules) afton alps www.aftonalps.com lift tickets are $48 on the preferred program, $53 not on the program bring your lunch or money to purchase food. as usual, there will be plenty of homemade food from the sugar group. invite everyone you know who gets mad anytime they leave more than a pencil line in the snow! or anyone who wants to leave only a thin line. https://goo.gl/photos/x6SPxmXLvurYDoj6A https://goo.gl/photos/S7BVM2tXJ2uagXPBA https://goo.gl/photos/o3f7eUSftFSvSijU6 see you on the hill! -trent Edited January 23, 2017 by trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPablo Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 36 degrees the night before Is the forecast righ now, looks like it's going to be colder the next week. Probably kinda late to reschedule but it might be sketchy to be on a carve board this coming Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trent Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 ugh. the snow absolutely sucks right now. i was at afton all weekend, and it's way too soft to hold any sort of aggressive carving. sure, we COULD right more upright, but that isn't the picts i posted above! ;-) let's reschedule. i'm checking with afton right now on the next few weds to make sure there isn't any big events on their calendar. once i hear back, i'll reset the date. right now, i'm hoping for weds, 2/1 as it looks like the snow has a chance to be in decent shape again by then. -trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trent Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 rescheduled for weds feb 1. let's hope for much better snow conditions! hope the new date works for everyone's schedule. -trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPablo Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Anyone have an extra one of these for UPZs? Wonder how long I've been riding with that missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I was just playing with adjusting my boot cants. Now I think I should put some thread lock on those screws. Replacement cant disc and screw $9 from http://upzboots.com/shop/upz-canting-disc-black/ Maybe a screw and washer for temporary fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPablo Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I just put the really stiff gray tongue back in this is my front boot. I used them tonight at Buck, I really miss the stiffer boot. The stiff tongues seem to make these cants or even if the back is locked in irrelevant.
