  1. Can't imagine it lasting too long, it was my understanding the the ban was to be permanent, guessing some kind of computer screw up has accidentally allowed this to happen. Oh well, enjoy it while it last. Basin has already extended, they have more snow then they know what to do with over there. Backcounty will be good way into July and with a bit of luck probably August. With any luck, I will be able to get in some time on a new Donek Split proto yet this season.

    Think Snow!

  2. Snow has been relentless here in Colorado. Had a tour up into Rocky Mountain National Park today and all I can say is very impressive. The only time I have seen road cuts through the snow taller then what we have now is my year in Seattle when Mt. Baker broke 1200 inches. Backcountry opportunities are abundant but wet slab avalanche danger is extremely high. Break out your splitty and get it on. Earn your turns!

  3. Not really. You are assuming you have some kind of set of "rights" here. You don't. You aren't owed any type of conditions. This isn't a public forum, it is owned and operated by a private company.

    If you don't like it, leave.

    Hey John, I think that I will take you up on that. Oh, and by the way, **** off. There, that should be good for a life time banning.

  4. I might have tried to follow you a few years ago, before I snagged my brand-new coat on a sharp little dead fir snag and ripped it clear down the front. An inch closer and it wouldn't have been just my sweater hanging out.

    There's gutless and then there's gutless. Keep a little in hand out there, my friend.

    Ripped coats and slightly battered bodies are sometimes the price of admission. I have a seamstress whom I trade firewood for clothing repairs and I keep her quite busy all year long with logging and riding clothing destruction. I have taken a few good shots but at the saying goes, that which does not kill you! If you want to goods you have to pay the price. It isn't free and does require skill. Just because you own the board doesn't mean you can ride it.

  5. Now where's Snowman, local pow and my sl board...

    $

    I'm not quite that stupid. Right tool for the job, ride a noboard or if your boneheaded enough a SL deck in the powder;but, the Turbo Fish is an unstoppable powder machine, big turns or small, tight trees or wide open high speed faces, I gaurentee that your not going to follow me. Try as you might.

  6. . There would, however, be a protest, because Snowman would say he's better and he's probably right, .

    Rob, it's good to see that your following along and paying attention. I for one appreciate your keen grasp of the obvious. Thanks! Pretty sure that you wouldn't take your silly noboard to the places that I go, just saying thats all, don't get mad.;)

  7. Bluebird and 25f deg for the Basin tomorrow. President's day hordes are gone and the snow is excellent. Looks like we have the Basin back to ourselves for a bit until the spring break crowds begin to amass. Brother Hong is back in action and Zuma Bowl has the widest and steepest groomed to perfection lanes waiting just for us. Come on out and enjoy the sunshine while it last.

  8. Mr. Azweepay, didn't I tell you to keep your hands off my lady friend. Actually, she is kinda pear shaped, a 14m tip and a generous 24m tail.:eplus2: Built for speed and performance. She is so good that even the Burners have been kicked aside. I am a one board man now, literally and figuratively. Only one other has had the privledge to ride the Redneck Rocket, my Pacific Islander brother from SOCAL took her for a spin and did not want to give her back! She is for real men only, step up to the plate if you have the stones. This one doesn't dissapoint. Thanks Donek, you built one hell of a sexy beast.

  9. So last weekend I decided to go even a little wider, and set it to 21.25". It's right at the point where it feels a liiiiiiiiiiiittle too wide, but feels even better when actually riding it. My bindings are now centered on the furthest apart inserts.

    Now, try this wide stance with a plate and feel the magic! I think I am pushing 21.5 to 22 inches when on plates with comfort!
