  1. Dry Fluffy Powder on Groom, nobody around :) First Tracks lasted for over 2 hours while it dropped another 3" by the time I left at 1:15 When I reached the Lift on the First Run...the Liftie said, "I just saw you come down under the lift...Amazing!!" yes it was...as were all the runs after it :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

  12. Here the apex of Carving was the late nineties...I call it the age of Camelot at Buttermilk There were some weekends with perhaps as many as 40 carvers, some from all over the world, hanging around for months :D now unless Joerg or the session rolls in you might see 2 or 3... :o yes...there are many softbooters that can Carve...our son Rob who rides 21 F -6 B can Carve circles around me and has for years and if you don't think they are Carvin in that pipe...well you need to take a closer look :) Fact is many Softbooters with all sorts of stance angles have been Carving since the Beginning... I am Bummed that Burton has abandoned the Supermodel series!!! that was a good Carving board wether you were in SB or HB I believe JT is right on here in that some sticks should be pushed that actually help SB Carve even better, which of course many Alpine Board makers already do...Burton controls 55% though and they have no interest in Carving specific Boards...:( Right Jake? :)
  13. My Snowboard Vision? ... Well, There were no Instructors, I was on my Own the same as when learning both Surfing and Skating before... I acquired my Snowboard Stance from Surfing and Skating because I was in tune with those sports with both feet aroundd 45 degs. . In My mind, that is the best place for ME to respond from... the Motion of both Surfing and Skating is the reason I stepped on a Snowboard in the first place. Having previously tried my Surfboard out at Ashcroft, and both the Snowster and Snurfer were just not going to work. When I am Snowboarding, I am Surfing and Skating...the Vision one brings to a Sport can help create the results they are seeking... my custom Bindings, that so upset a few here, are another piece of equipment that enables Me to achieve what I am trying to do...however they are neither HB or SB and hover somewhere in between those two worlds... That first Season at Milk 28 years ago I remember meeting Bob Klein of Burton fame who was brought out by the Ski Co. to give lessons in Snowboarding...When he saw my set up, he said, "What are you trying to do ?" I said, "I am Surfing and Skating " the mountain. Bob left about mid Jan. as No one wanted to learn Snowboarding at that point , at least not at Milk...I have always maintained the same stance and width as something that is solid and predictable, that Helps me to Live my Vision... I Like this Forum because it has People who are Stoked about Carving, which for me personally represents a Motion that I share across 3 different Sports with One Vision...many days now in Aspen can go by with no HB's or Carvers at all... :o I have seen many come and go... :) of course I love all the Carving during the SES :D Regardless of who else is out there, I will Snowboard seeking this Vision until I an unable to do so... :)
  14. Air and Air and Spins and Quarks and Corks and and...only went out Sun. for some Ski Slopestyle Pics...and watched Snowboard Pipe Final through a Telescope last eve from home, while watchin it on TV...Whites elevation out of the Pipe is something else...I don't care what he wears he shows an ability in the Pipe that is Special!!! Bravo to All the Athletes...
