anyone going to be out this weekend? I am thinking about coming out for Saturday and Sunday Morning.

Sunday mornings are fine. Just post it on the afton thread or something, and I will let you know. -Scott

Jack, I have set up gates before, if afton is willing to let you set and run the course for free I would be happy to help you set them up. The key is making sure the fall line doesn't lead the rider down into a lift tower (or a snow gun) in the event of a boot out on the course, which is the challenge at afton. Let me know if you want a hand. Noah, is that you? -Scott

my girlfriend and I are doing spirit friday morning/early afternoon, then heading to Lutsen for riding Sat., Sunday is still in the air we may stay at Lutsen, or head back down to Spirit.

I will be up for my first time on Friday morning. Hope to see a few carvers out.

I left a little early, I wasn't feeling to hot and it was kinda pointless to stay if I was gonna be on accidents all the time. The flip HD mino cam that I got was able to take some pretty good footage for being so cheap and so small. This is the video taken on friday, for those thinking about getting a cheap camera to ride with all the time. For whatever reason, youtube keeps crashing when I try to upload the video, and facebook wont embed the HD version. <object width="400" height="224" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/515500881545" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/515500881545" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="224"></embed></object> Some footage that I was taking before I left today. <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gixq0g2sS_s&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gixq0g2sS_s&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

boots were able to be fixed! 5 dollar fix and I was good to go. I am planning on being out tomorrow morning as well for a few hours.

The boots are old burton shadows. The heel clamp on the back foot broke, it was only made from plastic. I am between a size 9.5/10, Bob I will let you know if the repair shop can not fix them. I am hopeful they can be repaired, drilling out the rivets and putting on a replacement heal clamp should be pretty simple, I just didn't have the tools or I would have done it myself. I rode a couple of runs with medical tape holding the boots 1/2 way tight. Benefits of having that vest with gear on all the time, although I am thinking next year I will just buy a season's pass.

Today was amazing. It was really hard and fast in the morning, softened up and got perfect around 2. Unfortunately for me, that is when my heal clamp broke on my back foot boot. I am hoping that the ski shop can fix them cheap, if not I may be getting new boots. Any recommendations? -Scott

Nice Pics guys! I am thinking about making the trip up either the last weekend in Feb, or First Weekend in March, maybe hit up Lutsen too. Any recommendations on where to stay up there? Hope to see you out.

It was great today. 2 was pretty good, but the dream runs were on 7.

Today Rocked! Pleasure Meeting everyone and seeing all the rest of the TDs out there. -scott

I am gonna try to make it. We will see how crazy work is that week.

I ride hard boots and soft at afton (depending on conditions). I am on patrol so I stand out a bit with my patrol vest on. I normally am digging trenches on chair 2. But I was not there on the 28th.

I am at afton right now, and it is great snow for the alpine. really grippy.
