From an article on ESPN.com:
The resort announced the plans as a one-season experiment, to be "evaluated at the end of the season based on feedback from customers." If you make Granite your hill of choice, you might want to take the resort up on this request for feedback by visiting their website, or calling 715-845-2846. -
Uhh I was down at the Edmonton ski and Snowboard show (shopping for my kids) when I came across a never been ridden 147cm Burton Coil with the deal price of $1799.00. The sales guy said it "was a piece of snowboarding history". :(
Dave
For that price you can get a couple of Coilers, a case of beer, and a hooker.

Carving Cup - Dec. 13th!
-
I recall Wild Mountain (north of Taylors Falls) was always pretty early to get a run open. Rarely by Halloween, but almost always by Thanksgiving.
They have the advantage of being down in a valley. They can make snow when others can't due to it being several degrees colder.

Dez from KS95 did a nice write up: http://bit.ly/Vxgu7
Includes a photo of Bob's friend.

The carpet brings you to the top of the Haunted Hollow, you get down on foot.

A little sneak peek:
-
I have not ridden at Granite Peak, but I've driven past numerous times and it looks like they have great terrain.
Blackjack in the UP is closed (and not just because it is summer).

If I was in your shoes bobble, I'd get the baddest pair of 12m skis and learn how to rut the sh!t out of that goddamn hill. Just make run after run under the main chair.
Wouldn't be an issue if the ruts were caused by a skier. Thats how it works there. They complain about the ruts and dangerous damage to the hill, but they'll pull a slalom course and leave ruts big enough to swallow small children.
If it continues to be an issue, I think we need to have an unannounced session here.

If not try the Suzuki DRZ400SM....
Nothing wrong with that.

I know someone that used to have a "street legal" XR650R supermoto. It was a seriously insane machine. Like 75mph stand up lane-splitting wheelies insane. Of course, the rider was a lunatic, but the bike helped.
-
I'm kinda partial to supermoto bikes. This custom husky would hit the spot for me. Carbon fibre everywhere, SSSA conversion, massive massive brakes. Horny.
hell ya'
later,
Dave R.
I'm nearly positive that the Husky in your pic is P-shopped. Sorry for the buzzkill.
I've been very happy with my SM610, but if I were in the market for a street SM at the moment, I'd look into the Duke 690 for sure.
For a more versatile (SM style) bike, the Aprilia Dorsoduro looks very nice as well.
It all depends on what type of riding you are after. Supermotos are great fun, but not good for any long distance duty. My Husky was not happy with me after riding 250 miles in a day.
The Ducati Monster models range from "girls bike" to super hooligan man-eaters. It all depends on which one you look at. I've ridden an S4RS and would not recommend it to anyone that did not have a ton of riding experience, it is a beast.
Really, bikes are just like snowboards......you need a "quiver" of 'em.

I got out and took a dozen runs or so on Saturday late morning. It was a combo of super soft and super hard. Not horrible, but I did not feel bad for not staying long. The snow turned to mashed potatoes by mid afternoon (60+ degrees!).
I spent some time in the terrain park in the afternoon shooting photos. Some of those kids were going BIG. I don't know if it was because it was the last day, or just because the snow was soft and forgiving.

I am sooooooo sad about Buck closing. I am a week away from getting on a board again - the ankle is coming back to life quite nicely. I just pulled a 17 hour shift yesterday, and have put in roughly 80 hours so far this week and I NEED recreation soon. I want to board dammnnnit! I want to nap ON the snow! Serious withdrawl goning on here. But I still have to wait a week.
Looks like Spirit or Lutsen.
Rick
Colorado is only 13 hours away. Go to Des Moines, take a right. ;)
-
Another Dave persona perhaps ?
BobD
Nope, not me.
I think he's a skier. :p
-
The hill looked perfect as I drove past this morning.
This is one of those days that I envy the unemployed. ;)
-
It's almost over.
Closing for the season Saturday at 6pm.
:(

Karl, this is very simple, follow these instructions.
At 4pm jump up from your desk with a frightened expression on your face and sprint to the restroom (make some crazy noises while running). Stay in there for at least 20 minutes. Splash warm water on your face and return to your desk.
Twenty minutes later, do it again.
No one will think twice when you call in sick tomorrow.

I'll be there all day on Friday.
Skiing in the AM with my son, riding the new Schtub in the afternoon.
-
can't view youtube here from work... but I saw what sounds like your link on the BBC show "TopGear"
Nope, not the Top Gear clip. I think it was an RS6 in that Top Gear episode.
-
Let me know when you do, we can compare it to the X5....
Very nice!
I might develop a 24 hour illness on Thursday or Friday, depending on the weather. I'm going to go skiing with my son in the morning, take him to school and come back to the hill to ride in the afternoon.

Cool board! I like it Dave.
Is that a vortex street from something? What?
The "liquid smoke/vortex street" was my creation - Photoshop.
New Board Porn Thread for 2010

This board was new in the Spring, but I was only able to get out on it once, so it's still new to me for the upcoming season.
