Peter, you've got email. aloha

Pat You're right, the Milk would be nice; not sure if Aspen will be the destination but I hope we can make some turns this season.

Thank you for all of the input about Winter Park, not sure how the winter plans will work out.

Has anyone ridden or stayed at Winter Park CO, suggestions? aloha Brian

Ray Any plans to for Nov/Dec.

Frank sounds fun, seems like the season went by way too fast. aloha Brian

Hey when you guys get back can you give us a report, seems like it's too warm and the snow is like mashed potatoes good way to get hurt. aloha Brian

Thomas/Ray Have to change plans on going up, looking at May at this time. aloha Brian

Ray looking at the weekends of the 21st/ 28th. aloha

Frank and BOL crew Heading up tomorrow Sat. to June Mt should be good and hero conditions on Sun. will be riding yellow Pogo Impact on Bodie. Nekduct/Thomas you guys should get over to June to get the goods while you are here. Gunsmoke has been taken over by the "dark side" will look for carvers hard boots. aloha Brian

I would suggest Roberto's in Mammoth, food, drinks, atmosphere, views are good and not too bad for "la cuenta" (the check) either. aloha Brian

Frank Yes, staying at June and going to have the 197 Burner, powder board and Pogos. We'll be up Sat. and riding Sun. thru Wed. Called you and left a message, email me @ balbert747@hotmail.com. aloha Brian

Heading up Sat. going to ride June and check out Mammoth Mon./Tue depending on the crowds/conditions. aloha Brian

Frank/Ray Heading up 25th thru 29th, Frank sorry I did not get back to you about Mammoth but I recall riding chair 22 (far left side of the mt) there are some good runs. Have to check the trail map, email me. aloha Brian

I have torn both knees medial meniscus and had them scoped and repaired in 97/98 and then tore the left knee ACL (post cruciate ligment), word to the wise, 1) spend the money and go to the best sports orthopedic doc you can find (I used the team docs for the the San Diego Chargers, Dr. Paul Murphy) 2) go to rehab often and do not miss an appointment 3) use your own body/knee parts, the knee will actually heal stronger and better than the "original" design physically. I had my knee repaired in 99' and ride about 25 days a season and feel great 4) train/stretch/stay in shape 5) this is very important, ask for a physical therapy pump that circulates cold ice water around the knee, use it often (the company is in Vista, CA, sorry I do have the name, I slept with it and used it 24-7, if I can find out I'll email you back) aloha Brian

June Mt has a good instructor by the name of Carl, he is the Director of the ski school. I suggest that you call today for make a reservation before the weekend. aloha Brian

Gunsmoke is over for the season huh?, got conflicting info last time I was up two weeks ago, I was told no jumps this year. :rolleyes: Bodie is a good alternate run and you can ride up J4. aloha

Going to make plans to ride the event, June Mt. is perferred place to ride, no jumps on Gunsmoke but would be happy riding Mammoth with everybody. Ray email heading your way, hope we get to ride together before the move. aloha Brian

Cabrina Thanks for the response, let me know the boots are availble. aloha Brian

Cabrina Wanted to see if you are still like to see pics of the boots, email me via profile, I have sent you email. aloha Brian

Gabe I suggest that before you leave the house make sure all of the hardware on your equipment for condition and tighten. I always make sure this is done just as you would check your car before a trip or pre-flight of your aircraft before taking off. I have had the screws loosen on my heels like this as well, the nut plates can be replaced from a hardware or ski shop. aloha Brian

Frank Good riding riding with you Terry and Tim at Gunsmoke Sun., some great really good carving, wish we could have ridden Sat. BTW, Ray the Overdose rocks. Eileen and I got out of town this morning, poured all night long, turned to snow once on hwy. 395 to Mammoth with on and off rain to SD. Hope to get back up next weekend. aloha Brian

Bump on boots, someone out there needs these boots

Frank Good news, got lodging dialed in and will be in town Sat afternoon, we'll see you Sun on Gunsmoke riding the Pogos.

Frank Having some issues with lodging, can't find place to stay Sat/Sun as it is late in the week to make reservations. You guys are going to ride Gunsmoke on Sun or are you working? aloha Brian
