June is hardly ever windy, that's why most people go to June when there are mini-tornadoes at Mammoth. And I've been informed that the hotel reservation can't be canceled and my father is working the weekend after anyway, so I'll see you guys up there.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather push SNES to next week if possible to get preferable carving conditions.

Corduroy, all the way! Now, my vote might be biased, because when ever we have a trip up to Mammoth, there is a 66% chance that we get fresh pow. It's a curse. :rolleyes:

So basically, around 11:45 on Wendesday, our school cop caught someone (mid 40's) breaking into cars. The suspect shot the cop (who was wearing his vest, only minor bruising.) This resulted in more than a dozen schools in the area (mine being the epicenter, El Camino Real) entering lockdown that lasted until roughly 5:15 This meant that we could not eat, drink, or use the restroom. (luckily we didn't have to use the trash can in my room, but other classes weren't so lucky). I live less than a block away from my school, and I couldn't even get into my home last night around 9:15 p.m. I finally got home this morning, around 6:30 a.m. You can read about this if you click the following links: Daily News 1 Daily News 2 ABC Video

I would be down for riding a skwal and all, but I have sidewinders and a plate to try. :o

Depends on what food you're talking about; There is the hut at the bottom of chair 7, but that's just sandwiches and soda. From J4/J6 you can take silverado down (and set speed records while you're at it) to the midstation where they have "gourmet" stuff like pasta.

I agree with Erwin; I prefer Schatzi and Deer Bowl over any other run.

just woke up to begin my day of airsofting until 3 or 4 ish. This would be a great routine; one week mammoth, one week airsoft. Maybe my coiler will be in by next weekend, we'll see.

My pops and I were planning on going up that weekend (15/16) but probably wont stay for MLK day.

I changed my profile picture (take a wild guess as to which one it is) I think I need a new avatar. Which picture deserves that spot? someone choose.

Albert; Come up to June with us! ;)

I received these boots a few days ago. They are in SUPERB condition. I've been looking for a pair of T700's (and I'm sure a lot of people as well) for a looooooooong time. Thanks dad.

Seems like a good idea, although my rear knee is the one that drags, not my front. Erwin; EXPLAIN YO SELF.

At our annual carving event ASSESS 2011. Alpine Snowboarding Session Expression at Snow Summit. ASSESS is always on the first sunday of the year, which was yesterday. This reminds me of Ray's picture a while back.

Okay, I've heard of tree-huggers but this is a little too far....

See, that's why I only changed the front binding to pure toe lift; my toesides are fine for me. Got to try the set up again; Definitely more used to it now. Feels better than before.

Is it just me, or does Erwin look a little.... flamboyant? ;)

60* front and rear.

Its a 3* in front, 6* in back, but they were turned so that the highest point of the disc was at 90* (or what ever I stated before)

Albert... like this?

Well, I know I'm weird, that's besides the point! :rolleyes: With the 90* canting i felt stable and great all-around, I just couldn't get over far enough on my heelside to really crank it over. I think I'm going to go in 10* intervals back to 90* and see what's perfect.

....sorry, I think I'm about to hijack your thread, just because I have a question as well. :o I've been running 90* on both my cant discs (front - 3; rear - 6) and my toeside carves were amazing, but my heelside carves left a lot to be desired. I originally wanted to make it an outward cant on my front foot, but my dad convinced me otherwise; I changed it to pure toe lift in the front (going from 90* to 60*), with no change to the rear. First thing I noticed - getting off the lift was a little more awkward; since I had pure toe lift, I was had more pressure on my heelside edge, and generally I kept turning heelside when I slid off the lift. Second - My heelside turns IMPROVED to a great degree. I noticed I felt more confident, and could get much lower on my carves. Third - I think I became a little more unstable at speeds. Yesterday I was fine when I was at higher speeds going in a straight line (you need speed to get to the bottom of June from the top of Chair 4/6). I caught an edge randomly, something that wouldn't have happened the day before. I had more than one occasion of sketchy-ness as well, just in casual sliding around. Is this something that I'm completely wrong on, or is this something that others have noticed?

It's a Coiler Mini-Monster 182 (20cm waist, 12/15m sidecut) I'm waiting for my VSR 177 from Bruce so that's on loan from my Dad haha. I'll have video up within a few days (check the socal thread, or the video thread maybe) I wish I could of had more footage later in the day.

From today. First EC heelside on camera, and really cool shot of my relaxed carving form. I wish I got more footage later in the day when I was really fluid and relaxed; not trying to lay it down or anything, just keep it flowing.

Got some footage of Greg and I at June today. Here are some snapshots; I'll have the video up later in the week.
