I said to my friends "that looks like Tom", but I didn't think you were around. How long are you guys in town?

Must have been you on Elk Camp on Wednesday? Snow is fantastic right now! What fun with 2-5" of fresh on top of firm cord.

Fin, Awesome job on these interviews!

Ray, How will I even have a chance of keeping up with you with the new gnarly board, and the perfect tune? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing you both this winter! Will talk soon.

Killer - don't pass up the opportunity to ride with Ray - you won't regret it! Ray, I am off Sat and Sun now. I will be teaching all this weekend, but will try to connect maybe the following Sunday 1/24.

Beautiful Ray! And looking forward to seeing the two of you too! The snow has been stellar! Great soft snow over Christmas, finally firm enough to carve around Jan 3rd. I'm off Sat and Sun now, so we'll have to connect for a few early mornings in town. Looking forward to seeing you both, and your new arsenal!

Tom, Great videos. Thanks for taking the time to share. I am sad I didn't get the chance to join you guys this year. But wanted to tell Lisa that it looks like she has made huge leaps in her riding in the last year, especially those heel sides down Aztec - awesome!

Sorry about all the new snow. Think over 20" in the last couple of days. Snowmass over 400" so far for the season. Wish we could have some good firm snow for carving, but the snow gods only want Ray riding powder. Let me know when you guys are going out, may be able to join for a couple of hours.

I am at Snowmass on Sat, big race day for my son. Any plans for Sunday yet? Weather has been cold, and is keeping the snow increadibly soft. Road/skiied 3 days this week, just awesome conditions.

"We found this out just after we bought one at full price for my wife. :(" The Aspen Skiing Company is great about giving you credit in a situation like this. Not sure if it is too late, you might try giving them a call- should have all information in computers under your name. Try (970) 923-1220 and ask for one of the ticket supervisors.<!-- / message -->

No bucks this year, but not a bad bull. Hunting in Colorado on a great friend's (and fellow carver) ranch. We was a 6 x, but he had broken off one, so guess he's just a 5x6. But a beautiful bull. European mount.

You guys, I actually got to see this board in person today, and even touch it (even though Ray made me put on a pair of completely clean gloves). It is absolutely more beautiful that even the pictures can show. And I got to see her touch snow for the first time, appropriately on Aspen Mountain. Yes, she and Ray both loved it. That board, with Ray on it, just rips! I think now we all have to pitch in to buy Ray a complete matching chrome outfit!

Hey Ray, Mark, and Paul, I might be able to join you guys for part of Sunday, have to figure out baby-sitting. Ray, call me on Sat when you guys have the plan. Looks like decent carving on Saturday, and part of Sunday, but snow moving in on Sunday afternoon into Monday, with quite a bit of pow forcast. Hopefully see you all on Sunday!!!

Hey Mark, Welcome also. There are quite a few riders around area. Keep an eye on the rider board to see any official outings. If I was you, I would plan on attending the SES this year - there you can try a huge variety of boards, and really get a good feel for what you might want. I work at your local grocer (early am) in your town, say hi sometime when you are in. Or see you on the hill, Todd

We were getting nervous for a while, but the official tally is in, and we got 6 ft of snow in last 8 days in Aspen. Was up at Buttermilk tonight, they are blowing snow like crazy (for all the x-games huge features), and it is covered with snow! Ye haw!!!!!!
