Welcome back to BOL Curt! Hope to see/ride w/ya a bunch this winter...it'll be just like the old days :).

Ian, we will post lodging options shortly. They are very similar to 2 years ago. They have rooms at The Stratton Inn, and units at the Long Trail house. Plus, a few other options.
Michael, lift tickets are included w/your lodging package. Same as last time.
Stay tuned for more info soon...

Here it is, the official dates and information for the ECES.
Stratton Mountain, VT

This is a non-competitive, carving event and we welcome all abilities. Come one, and come all! Now all you carvers and carvettes can mark your carving calendars, and get your stoke on.:D
-
It was great riding with everyone...thanks to Bob, Geoff & Paul for coming to ride with us! As always we enjoyed your company.
-
We are still getting! Its dumping here!! Awesome powder day. Should be a killer weekend.
-
I'll be out first thing for some runs.
-
Hey Mark! Just wanted to say thank you again for another great Rally. Alex and I always enjoy coming down to ride w/you. We hope to see you soon at Stratton!
-
Im not going to get there tomorrow Mark...sorry Ill miss you. Have good runs & I'll see you on Sunday.
-
Hey Mark! There will be some room for early am carving. Its kind of busy this week. You may want a different plan of attack for later in the day. Not sure if I'll be out yet or not. What time are you getting there?
-
Hi Wendell, there is a group of us at Stratton regularly, including weekdays. There is also an HB instructor available. If you really want to work on it, there is no better way than riding with others.
-
Thanks for sharing this Pat. Wishing Scott a speedy recovery, and sending good thoughts!!
-
Startingate at Stratton was the only retail shop in New England that I know of. Give them a call they still may have some stuff in stock.
Sorry to say the Gate no longer carries any alpine equipment.
-
Hey Elisa! Glad to hear that you went with the lotus & are loving it. Santa delivered me one for christmas & I've already enjoyed 2 powder days on it. It is an awesome board! I cant believe im gonna say this, but i may even get a soft set up for it.
Let me know when you are heading up this way to ride your new board! The conditions are killer!!!!
-
Hey, does anyone know what happened to that guy PaulK (aka Mr Stratton)????
-
You have to keep in mind, that its not a carving board, but a great freeride board that happens to carve decent. Its more of a smooth ride vs. dynamic & poppy. If you can demo at OOB, try the 154. I think you'll still get a good feel for it, even in the shorter length. As for base bevels, i would go ahead w/whatever you normally ride with. Hope this helps!
I'd love to ride with you anytime, just send me an email at vtsttad at yahoo dot com! Also, I know you ride k-town a bunch. You should definately try to hook up with Amy up there too. She works at Basin & is an amazing carver/rider. She has a lotus also!!
-
Hey Elisa! I am actually in the process of picking up a Lotus up myself. I rode this board in my hardboots, and was amazed at how well it held up. I was very concerned about the rocker, but quickly found that it wasnt an issue. The board is solid and held up to everything I put into it. I would definately recommend it.
-
Thanks so much everyone (esp. Jack for posting)! USASA Nationals is such a fun week of events, and the people we get to spend time with makes it that much better. Many congrats to all of BOL'ers that podium'd...even just competed!
Another BIG noteworthy mentionable is that Bomber & Donek had the BUSIEST tents during the entire week. Lots of newbies trying hardboots and alpine equipement for the first time...espcially kids. Nice job to Finn, Michelle & Sean for all their hardwork and dedication to our sport.
-
Well done at Nerdercross (inside joke), Jack!!
-
Alex, Eric & myself are heading back out for USASA Nationals week. Flying in on Friday, March 30th & leave on April 6th. Hoping to catch up with everyone again, as last year was a blast!
-
We rocked that 80's day in style!!
To all ladies interested (Ladies...not Geoff), I'm going to add the ladies ride to our schedule for Thursday morning at 11:30. Anyone in clinics, should be done by then. Let me know if this will work.
-
Yes Michelle...ladies ride is still on. I'll have it added to the schedule.
-
A couple other recommendations are Double Dipper & Cascade.
-
Mark, we did ride together a few years back. It was me that worked at the gate. Glad to hear you are coming to ECES for a couple of days. We'll see you then!

Sorry we missed you Buggs. We had holiday visitors& opted out out of riding yesterday. Conditions were really good today! They are blowing so much snow & each day gets better! I may even start riding an alpine board soon;)
