Yes, just a break from routine. I still want to do big carves but I don't want to always HAVE to be carving. Some days I will definitely still use the Coiler but other days I may just want to carve some runs and not other runs.

OK guys, what size board would I get? Do you go smaller when not on a true carving board? 149? 152? 155? (I'm 5'4") Thanks!!

Thanks all for the imput! I chatted with someone at a shop today and they are recommending the Gnu Ladies Choice in size 148.5. Seems tiny - I may have to go up to the 151.5 or 153.5 (I'm not sure what is with the ".5"s.) For boots the Ride Hera and bindings Burton Escade or Lexa. No decision made yet!

I still love my hard boot setup with my Coiler but if I were to also get a soft boot set up what would people recommend for a woman? I have heard that the Lib Tech boards have great edge hold and that Roxy is the lady version. Appreciate thoughts. Thanks!

I actually have two more pairs but I want to keep one for myself and it looks like my brother wants the other pair.

Used but excellent condition.

I am willing to sell the bindings separately. Please email me at patricelala@yahoo.com to let me know how much you are offering to pay and to discuss further. Thank you!

Sure, I would consider selling just the bindings. What would you be willing to offer?

I have a hardly used pair of Booster straps for sale. Comes in original packaging. $25 shipped. bomberonline.com/store/boots/acc_booster_strap.cfm More info here: http://www.bomberonline.com/store/boots/acc_booster_strap.cfm

January 5-8 might be tough because of being off from work earlier that week. I'll make it work for whenever you plan it because last year was so much fun and how often do you get to go up on the 6 pack with all lady carvers? And have a wonderful dinner at Cheri & Shaggy's place? Patrice

We'll look for you too.

Parking at Snowdon allows you to quickly get on the Snowdon Quad (a.k.a. "The Couch" as it is a sloooow chair). Snowdon has some great carving trails. If you go to the K1 base parking lot you go to the end furthest away from the gondola. If I want to go into a lodge to put my boots on then I'll park on the K1 side of the lot. But if I was in a trailer and was parking at the Skyship gondola then it is easy enough to get to any part of the mountain. We are heading up to Killington tonight and will be out on the hill on Friday (March 4) and Saturday (March 5). If you are going to be there too please let me know - channel 11-33 or cell 203.362.8183.

If anyone would like to meet up this weekend at Killington please give me a call at 203.362.8183 or on radio channel 11-33. Patrice

I have some heel pain on my back foot and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to alleviate this pain. I guess you would call it a bone spur. When I had the liners molded last year at the boot fitter he puched out a space for this hot spot. I put some moleskin around the pressure point which seems to help some and I also decreased the cant. Thanks for any suggestions. Patrice

Jason and I will be there for the full week.

Thanks Stephanie for making the women's carving session happen. It was a great group of old and new friends and mother nature pulled through for us too. Thanks Cheri for the amazing dinners and hospitality. And to Shaggy for my new stance which helped tremendously and to Eric for the tips! The video taping by Alex was the icing on the cake. I hope we can do it again! Patrice
