About how many runs can you get in there? You'll cross others' tracks, but you can still find stashes of untouched snow for 2-3 turns at the end of the day. Venture into the trees and there's even more. I haven't counted runs, but my legs are telling me I should have done about 3 less per day. Thanks to multiple people for the pow & tree tips and the motivation to push myself! It's awesome to watch smooth and powerful riders in the powder. Groom tomorrow! @dredman for President! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heli trips don't offer this much vertical a day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to bet there's a lot more threads about what makes a good powder setup in the near future. I feel for those who just showed up with their 168 Kessler.

Given the rider to terrain ratio, are you able to find fresh lines on every run? About how many runs can you get in there? You can probably click off three runs an hour if you try. I had 14 runs both Monday and Tuesday, with time for lunch and farting around. Doing 30K - 35K of powder puts it in heli-skiing territory. You would be lucky to get half that in a day of cat-skiing. Even after two days of our group beating on the fresh powder, there were good lines to be found in the trees. Not track free, but still what I'd call a powder run. You can see for yourself. I switched on the GoPro for last run on Thursday. Here's the raw clip; top to bottom. Edited February 16, 2019 by johnasmo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered selling it because I found myself choosing another board (Nidecker Megalight) for 4 - 6 inch snowfalls, or after the big dumps are all cut up. But for deep and fresh, the Hovercraft is a blast. After this week at Turner, it's earned a permanent spot in the quiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyt. Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 That was quite a long run! Was getting tired watching it. Like the part when the trees got tight! Thanks for the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 What tight trees? He never had to grab a branch to turn even once Nicely done, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrussell Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 He found almost the tightest tress on the hill just to scare off those who think they want to learn to ski trees. First time I haven't been able to track out a mountain days after a storm. The lifties said we did a good job but didn't hit most of their stashes. Oh ya NEVER Trust a carver on a powder gun to show you the trees when your on a 18mm wide board. Just go mach 2 to start it to float and they are just baby trees(10" dia.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpyride Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 The trees look fabulous. Much better lines for speed than the snaky lines here at Big Sky. Pow at the end of the day looks like 1/2 an hour after opening chair here too. More than a bit JEALOUS. Let's see some of those Powder Boards with Hardboots, Please. Looking forward to see Redman and Crew in April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibrussell Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Didn't take time for pic's, In the snow couldn't tell who was on what until they came out a the bottom. 188 Rossi UnderTaker with plates, probably won't see enough snow to run it for another year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnasmo Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Inkaholic, I think I sold you that board! I recognized the top sheet when I saw it outside the lodge. It was used when I got it too. Sean made them to last. Like the mod you did. Edited February 16, 2019 by johnasmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnE Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Wow - the tree spacing looks perfect - especially up high. The run looks pretty long. What is the vertical of one run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
