thanks for a fun day! too bad the snow wasn't very carve friendly, but at least the hill was actually open this week! because i can't figure out/too lazy to research how to add photos...... photos

afton should be mostly clear of racers this weekend. ussa kids are at giants all weekend, d-team kids are at coffee mill on sat, and welch sunday. chair 2 may still have some racers, but 1, 3, and 7 should be free to play on (unless there's some event i don't know/care about).

i agree that it suck the good runs are covered in gates..... but mud is absolutely right. better to have the hill closed than have all the jerrys coming through the course, or worse, cutting across the course. i see it all the time, even with the hills roped off. it will be crowded with race practices tomorrow. i'll start on a board, but may not be on one long depending on what's available. smart kids will also have other options in their car. bobble, you've been warned. again.

RESCHEDULED!!!! next week, weds feb 6. i had enough below zero temps this weekend at ski races in lacrosse. plus looks like welch and wild have posted they're closed tues - thurs this week. the other hills will probably follow suit. (afton has cancelled beer league racing sun-weds already). now go enjoy the (barely) above zero temps today. -trent

good news! ussa races at welch, and d-team at troll on saturday. that's about 300 less kids to set race courses set on chair 1,2, 3, and 7 sat morning! there will still be some race training, but should be minimal.
-
just a heads up. ussa ski racing all weekend at welch. we'll be on lookout and bakki.

wow, what a fun day! thanks everyone for coming out to play! thanks to bob and dave to taking, and posting, some picts. sorry i was so lazy this year that i didn't: start a thread here; check the thread here; take picts; take video. nor did i give my safety speech. at least i still bring plenty of sugar and make kissy faces at bob when he's taking picts. ;-) i'd say i'll do better next year, but if it's blue skies and awesome snow again, the only thing i can promise is sugar overload. too fun carving AND seeing! -trent

LOL! i gotta check bomber more often! nice one bobble!

thanks y'all for another fun day! i got the 1300 picts down to 500+, then 54 of the best. my internet sucks and took a few hours just to load the 54 images. i'll get the rest posted soon. in the meantime, here are the ones uploaded so far: https://goo.gl/photos/wYesyZeFH85sqYoZ6 -trent

rescheduled for weds feb 1. let's hope for much better snow conditions! hope the new date works for everyone's schedule. -trent
-
ugh. the snow absolutely sucks right now. i was at afton all weekend, and it's way too soft to hold any sort of aggressive carving. sure, we COULD right more upright, but that isn't the picts i posted above! ;-) let's reschedule. i'm checking with afton right now on the next few weds to make sure there isn't any big events on their calendar. once i hear back, i'll reset the date. right now, i'm hoping for weds, 2/1 as it looks like the snow has a chance to be in decent shape again by then. -trent

yep

ugh. every year i can't figure out how to link pictures..... maybe i should post more than once a year?? and what's with the double spacing when i hit return? feels like i'm writing a report for high school. here's a link to the picts from last year: https://goo.gl/photos/WZrpJp52HZVS11Se6

it's almost that time of year again. the testing of who can get the lowest, who can smile the biggest, who can last the longest, and who can eat the most sugar after lunch! oh wait, there's also the contest between bobble and bionicman for the camera curse award! weds, FEB 1, 2017 9:30am - ? (and i have NOT seen the lift started before 9:30 yet this year. silly vail policies/rules) afton alps www.aftonalps.com lift tickets are $48 on the preferred program, $53 not on the program bring your lunch or money to purchase food. as usual, there will be plenty of homemade food from the sugar group. invite everyone you know who gets mad anytime they leave more than a pencil line in the snow! or anyone who wants to leave only a thin line. https://goo.gl/photos/x6SPxmXLvurYDoj6A https://goo.gl/photos/S7BVM2tXJ2uagXPBA https://goo.gl/photos/o3f7eUSftFSvSijU6 see you on the hill! -trent

a few picts. matt, sorry i didn't get hardly any of you. i think i only got 2 runs of you, and one of them the camera (operator) was all messed up!
-
thanks for the fun day everyone! it's going to take me a few days to get some picts posted. i took 1100+! i quickly went through them, and it's down to 600. sheesh, i've got to get A LOT better at shooting; the "spray-and-pray" method is filling my hard drive. ;-) plus, i don't know if mine will be much better than bob's. the light really sucked! i think i'll try to find the best few shots, and get those posted. maybe i'll load the rest on picasa or somewhere so if you're inclined, you can look at all of them. anyways, thanks for coming out to play! always more fun to make turns with other carvers. -trent
