Yo Jim Callen, Saw you up on Big Burn today... :) Layin down some great track with some Cool Style... Just great conditions from say 9 till the 1:00 anyway...Nice Carvin Bud !

As far as the Aspen area... It started in Aspen at Highlands 84/85 and then when Buttermilk opened to Snowboarding in the 85/86 season...:) There were no HB's or Alpine boards at Milk till 86/87 that I recall...Cliff and the Pure Carve Stoke he created peaked in the Mid Nineties to 2001 or so I call the age of camelot for Carving at Milk and Yes Joey, was and is a major influence in the Carving done at Milk both then and now...

Wow, Day 123...:p

First Tracks on Alpine Springs...no crowd? :) Another winter storm warning tonight as well...12" expected

Heal Well Al, the Hill is not all there without You!

It is ongoing and it is everywhere... Cool to see your Old with the New This goes back aways as well... http://blog.jonessnowboards.com/2008/09/the-origin-of-snowboarding-discovered/

A True Cold Surf Experience...and something the Silver Surfer is known for :)

Whoa Dudes and Dudettes, One of the Finest Last Days at Milk ever!... Join the Celebration...Cold Surf on Facebook

Just Unreal last day conditions at Milk...:D.....

Milk closes today...:(

Last day at Milk today for this Season...:( My 25th year riding there 120 days on the hill with one week left at Aspen or Snowmass...:D Not a lot of Deep Pow this year here but a Groomed Season to remember heading into Spring :) May the Force be with You...

The only tracks I crossed today...were my own :)

Wow, Wed. and Thur. were just brutal conditions with the wind trying to be the spoiler...stilll some good Pow turns to be had in trees... From my deck at home I can tell the wind last night was hard out of the northwest...so pick your spot based on that...a Pow day

Please, put this Thread in the New "Sled Designs Forum" that is coming soon...right above the new Softboot Forum...just below the "Powder Forum" and in between the "Lateral Flex Forum" and the "Camber Forum" Thanks...:p

Go ahead and Play...it will put a smile on your face :)

Just wonderful, the playfulness of Spring Groom at the Land of Milk and Honey today ... :)

Lady Lift OP yesterday says..."this is your 113 day, today" I tell her, Uh OH! , years ago I hit a tree while skiing on Fri. the 13th and then two years later I had my appendex removed on Fri. the 13th. 13 is a number, especially on Fridays when I pay extra attention to what I am doing...;) She Says, "I was Born on Friday the 13th" with a beautiful smile! I say...."life is just full of coincidences" :o

Spar on Fri. was as good as it gets! Was that You?... never stop in Spar... Just great conditions Jim, these little storm pulses are making some wonderful Pow and then Groom spring days...Oh La La... Just unreal at Milk today to...Joey, Yana and a couple more enjoyed Racers edge, Javelin, ptarmigan and Buckskin groomed honey...just deserted splendor! Joreg is here as well now with a group from Europe this week, also Tom, Lisa and Henry are here too. They plan on Buttermilk tomorrow ...

Some easy 8's and some light Fluff Tree Runs

Pintails Exoskeletal combi of SB and HB More Lateral Flex influence... Uh, Pow outside! Bye...:)

Gondola Day... Cowabunga....Spar was just amazing first 5 runs...never better and no one. Imagine "Superior Purest Carving" :)

No mention at all of the Original Carvers ? Such as... Peter Bauer Jean Nerva Jose Fernandes Serge Vitelli To name just a few obvious Key figures :o of course there were many more as well! The stance angles I set up and have used since 1985 were confirmed for me, when Peter sent this book to us in 1988...

Followed my own advice...:)

Blue Bird day Today! Good Call...make sure you do Spar sometime around 12:30 for no crowd run...

I believe that I average around 120 carves per mile... A mile being in a straight line down the hill, not the actual path both down and across the hill which is much farther in miles traveled. I ride Greens and Blues mostly and was curious how many turns others get per mile based on where and how they ride. Thanks
