Still, even after the last storm, more snow is sure needed. Buttermilk crew says they cannot groom as they are used to because of not enough base yet. None the less, they will do their best for the World Carving Session & SES...
Good thing Ajax is prime!!!

Hey, these are great pow-boards! Is onehundreddollares to much?
-
Not sure, you mean ride it that way? Don't! Chances are very high the shell will lock up because you will over flex it and the cuff part will hang itself with the lower part. Happened in Europe. Also, you might hurt your ankle big time!
Cheers,

... a good combo of Ruthies and Copper Bowl sure makes my day... oh yea and pancakes at Bonnie's should not be missed :o
-
Maybe I should mention that I am going to give them away cheap ;)

Selling two O-Sin 3800, 158cm I still had here in Aspen for a while.
If interested email me and make me an offer! These could be checked out and handed over during the SES.
Cheers,

Relax a little!
Anja was on the Tiehack side all day yesterday and no people she said. Ok, the weather wasn't the best, but so far I assume that only on the pow days the extra amount of people will show up and track up the fresh rather quickly now. Also, a few more people more, what does it matter!?
Just be faster :D

Hi there,
Yea, coverage is not the best, none the less had a very very good day on Ruthies yesterday. Unfortunately had to finish way to early due to do my legs giving up. After some good pancakes at Bonnies Copper Bowl sure was a blast.
Nough said!?
Still, I agree, some more snow would be very good!
-
that was very Nice...
Yup, sure was fun. Good to get the rhythm back...
-
So how are the conditions so far?
Hope all you Aspen people have a good time already!!!
Looking forward to join in as of Jan. 6th

Heading back to Aspen. DJ'ing the Snow Polo championships this weekend- I DJ'ed the 2009 World Snow Polo Championships too,
I'm a bit out of shape.. but a few days out there should fix that.
Who's up for riding? I hope to get a replacement Kessler under my feet this year..and save up for a UFC too. Ray finally got me on a UFC and I really enjoyed it.
So who's riding Aspen this year?
Well, I have to assume our ways will cross each other during the first quarter of '12 ;)
Cheers,
Ray
PS. Darn, and I thought it would be a quite/peaceful time on the mountain this season :D
-
Zero influence on my end. Freecarve for me.

SoftbootSailer,
Nice! So what is the time bottom to top on that bad boy? Dang, I also hope this mean they will now groom that entire side of the mountain.
Here ya go:
"This season Aspen/snowmass is proud to debut a new high-speed quad chairlift at Tiehack that will reduce the ride time from bottom to top to just 7 minutes!"
So, is it really 7 minutes? :)
-
I also started to realize that skinny stuff more my thing, and this board with a 17cm waist was just TOO WIDE!
The day Ace came to the dark side
Cheers Ace, looking forward making some turns with you again in Aspen
-
great board!!!
-
Don’t think so. Anyway, felt like sharing here that I rode my Virus Cyborg Bling (plain polished Titanal topsheet) with Cateks and “without” any Poly protectors for years and had zero issues at all
The board was sold to a good friend of mine end of last season in still really great condition. No issues with the metal topsheet, still pretty much all camber... (I hope it will last many years to come ;)).
So, maybe I am mistaken, but to me, I have to believe that not all metal manufactures use the very best quality out there
, or they don't know how to work with it so it lasts.In case a new metal board I like comes along, bring it on!!! Plain polished or just clear coated, no diff
Cheers,
Ray

Definitely digging the ninja-green/black. Don't know if it's available in N.A though.
I would assume Bola at All Boards Sports in Boulder will carry them.
-
I like the green & black combo a bite more vs. the all green one. A little too much of the green. The black breaks it up nicely imho.
Cheers!

I can only highly recommend to stop by at Frank's shop while making a trip to Germany and being in his neighborhood. Opens your eyes!
Cheers,
Ray

slopestar, how do you like the weight of the helmet? I requested the info from them and they said the medium size helmet would be 750gr. and with goggles & mask 1.5kg. Not quite a lightweight helmet.
-
Hmm, am I counting correct here, did only five people (including myself) so far post their own new toy for the coming season? It’s pretty much August now and I am wondering if this is really slow in terms of new boards. Maybe the big chunk comes between August and the beginning of the season. If not, it would really not be a lot of new boards and kinda bad for the already very limited industry of ours. Or, most who received their toys did not post, could be another reason. Anyway, just wondering.

My girlfriend edit says: The model year written on the virus boards is 2011 but this is the board porn thread for 2012. That means to me:
1. I need to check, what's written on my own board.
2. Frank sold us the leftovers from last year
3. Ray, Hans and probably myself have to get outta here with these boards.
Do you really care what it says on the board? Hmm, mine was built in '11, it is '11, I am totally cool with that. It MUST kick arse, all what counts!
And even more importantly, you pack your stuff in time and make it out to Aspen so we have some fun ;)
-
Wow, nice finishing touch, congrats Ray. We must organise a VIRUS 'SLAYER' weekend
with all these beauties around.As for the "congrats" go they sure belong to Frank. Yes, I really wanted it this way, but Frank put the extra work and skills into it and delivered a design masterpiece! Everyone who saw it so far says, too nice to put in the snow. Yea right
So, why not make it a week or even longer and you come to Aspen next Feb. As it seems there will be a nice group of crazy Euro riders coming together again, now that will be fun!
Cheers

Ok, pictures not the best quality, but you get the idea… ;)

, or they don't know how to work with it so it lasts.

It’s part of the SES. No charge, just be there on time or you loose. It started several years ago when Fin was able to convince Aspen Skico they need a bunch of crazy cavers on the hill and basically destroy one of their most famous runs before anyone else could make some decent turns
