  1. :biggthumpTons of snow! Well over a foot as of this am on top of 7-9" from previous two days and after some wind holds got main lifts going by noon today Is the Sunapee web site accurate? Did they really get 0 new snow? Were they really able to run all their lifts in the howling wind? Might have been carveable after all.....But driving there and back would have been tough...
  2. sorry guys - I guess I am out for Thursday - we got 6+ inches of snow this am then sleet today (which doesn't hurt the riding) and are due for another 6plus by midday Thursday - Rain at my house but not on the mountain - I can't tell for sure by Sunapee's website but I think? it is raining there. Really nice day today on the mountain - no one here - one bad run when the sleet got big and hard and hurt when it hit your face Also wind hold looks quite possible for Thursday KB
  3. My deeluxes are dead - they are mondo 23 and have required a fair amount of stretching and work so a bigger size might work Looking for new or barely used Thanks
  4. Sooooo not sure I want to drive down to Sunapee Thursday although not entirely ruling it out - Sunapee is kinda wimpy about wind hold which might be a problem Thursday also I am hoping (looking promising) for a total snow event at Stowe If we get all snow at Stowe or if the driving is going to suck I won't drive down - let me know what you guys are doing - EZE - I am about to send you an email - up for alternate days... When are we going up against team 32 ?
  5. Hey Steph - thanks for the kudos - don't think I had much to do with the mediocre grooming - probably more from Geoff's beer delivery? Believe it or not that is as good as the grooming gets here - in fact about the best for the year - not like Stratton - maybe that should be the next ECES? They even groomed Gondilier twice one day - unheard of! Glad you were happy with the mountain - I love Stowe despite the grooming issues - although K-mart probably still my favorite... I saw Amy last week at K-Mart - we really need to get her to come to the next ECES and get the two of you ripping on the steeps represent'n for the ladies Kathy
  6. Enzo - hook up with EZE - he is Sunapee Not really alot of choices at Sunapee so you'll probably try everything and see what is best Sunday - Sun bowl often my favorite - 1st right after getting off the sunbowl chair Thanks for the gooey eggs offer but I just chew broken glass for breakfast Good luck getting videos of our team - likley all riding undercover except EZE and ?Durace .........Keep your eyes on your niece - our undercover riders may snatch her while EZE has you distracted and trade her for any videos you do get :lol: -
  7. I'm in for a weekend scrimmage- as long as there is a block and tackle team assigned to ride behind me to mow down the family contingent that arrives at Loon mid morning weekends- You guys DO go out early don't you??!! As in first lift Sunday? Kathy
  8. Thank YOU Angie for the Whip gift certificate! We went out last night and had a pphhhattt meal! Kathy
  9. Heard more mono-ski comments this last week than I have in several years - guess the education was needed Thank you so much for all your work Geoff - that was great! Thanks to all for getting me out at night and out carving. Eric E - sorry about your Dog - :( Robert V- sorry we didn't get to take any runs - I saw you from the lift several times and can see you've brought the carving up several levels:biggthump Eric B - good to see you again! Glad some folks got to ride with my pal Ron - he rips - huh?! Angie and Gleb - I see they finally got the gondi running today - you'll have to report back on conditions - props to Angie for going out in the rain, the wind and the ice! Nice to get to know some more of the bomber crew including the Canadian crew Hope to see everyone again soon. Kathy
  10. Have you seen this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW4Ja-XF9Ow Did I mention he got 2nd in this race!
  11. Hi Alberto Sorry not to respond for so long. My sweet princess best pal dog, Jezebel died two weeks ago -:( I'm working hard to get back out on the mountain but it is a struggle. I would be happy to take some runs with you. I'm not out too much on weekends - my pass is actually only a 6 day pass but I would go out on a Sunday early or late or a sunny weekday. (I'm a wimp on a carving board and go out on softies or skiis unless the conditions are ideal) Are you going to ECES? I'll likely be out this Sunday afternoon. Kathy
  12. Awww Willy - I thought you liked Killington. Didn't I meet you there last year at the top of the North Ridge Chair on one of those beautiful spring days? Yes Robert - I will be there. We moved to Stowe this year so I would have to leave to avoid it:freak3: I just went to Killington Monday for the first time in 2 months and am going today as soon as it warms up a little. Pals all say less crowded this year. Seemed so to me too. For example - Presidents week the mountain used to have 450-500 kegs delivered - this year 150. Owners supposedly happy with that - they want wine and cheese crowd - more money per visit - less visitors. Not sure it is going to work. Sad they are trying to change the personality of the mountain - BUT - it is nice to have less crowds See you later in the week KB
  13. Guy with poles is Jim - he didn't seem that interested in ECES, also met a snowboard instructor named Dolan that carves he will likely check in for a day or two, met a girl learning on a Rossi Throttle - a board close to my heart! - didn't catch her name but told her and her boyfriend about ECES, also there is a shop employee at Spruce peak that carves I passed on word to him about ECES and bomberonline - apparently he doesn't know where to get boots...so now he does, also another pal snowboard instructer Jen - good rider I am hoping she will come and demo hardboots, a ski racer chick from MMSA that also rides and was psyched to see my carving board and today I was out on my Donek and I met Bud Keene's brother Patrick who was carving it up on softies with his pal Steven (daughter at MMSA - learning to race but mainly does freestyle) and also Patrick rides hard boots and will try to come for part of ECES Should be a fun week - unless of course the whole Sunapee crew vanishes like today ...??? it was great up here - did it suck down South?
