The lovely Allee, aboard a Donek Axis..
Enjoying the views from the top...

OK...now i feel better...

Breakfast at Joe's Garage...Yum!
A view from the Steam Ship Earnslaw..
More views from the lake outside of Queenstown..

It's been a bit of an interesting week here....Where oh where should I continue?
hmmm...lets try pictures from adrenalin free wednesday.
Wait a minute...maybe a picture response to Allee's earlier post is in order...

Today is a day off....walking around Queenstown taking in the sights. More snow overnight closed most of the ski areas today. I have to visit an internet cafe to download pictures, so don't wait for daily updates...Some bungee jumping this afternoon, more riding tomorrow, skydiving on saturday...busy busy...I'm not in Kansas anymore!
-
We head in for a little breakfast, and wait for a clear sky....but by 3pm. Snow again.
-
So we survive a day at Cardorna, and decide that Treble Cone wouldn't be too bad for tuesday..but it snows overnight. We drive to the mountains anyways, bald tires and chains.
By the top, the condition are, well.....Hey there is that girl from Calgary again.
-
around here the car all have tiny engines....it's a good thing because you don't want to drive more than 50kph on these roads even in good weather...oh and one other thing, they all drive on the wrong side of the road. Why are they honking their horns at me???
-
After getting on a plane friday night, then stepping off on a sunday afternoon...
we decide to head out monday for some adventure..Who is that girl on the Donek???
-
When I get off the plane, I find that everything is upside down....including my body clock.
-
Late August, and I was thinking I was on a plane headed to Chile...but I get diverted. Wouldn't be so bad, but in the air I lose an entire day. A saturday no less, to the international date line.

No doubt about it. It's winter here in New Zealand. Was up carving at Turoa on Mt Ruapehu just over a week ago. Still early season here with snow base still rising. Even saw a couple of other carving boards in use amongst all the jibbers and skiers.
Arrive in Queenstown on 8/30.....Do you think there will be room for another carver on the hills?
-
A week at Big Mtn. followed by a week at SES! On the drive from Whitefish to Aspen we could stop by at Grand Targhee(my home resort).
So for you folks fortunate to have 2 weeks off. Lets plan traveling/riding from Big Mtn to Targhee to Aspen... We will have to throw in a Turner Mtn day also while in NW Montana. Drop me an email..
Just a thought.
DrD. Aspen was vacant other than all of the carvers, never a lift line. Just like Big Mtn on weekdays.
Can I be the first to reserve a spot in the car? Epic road trip 2010?

this reminded me of another thread....but the pictures look to be long gone.

Look for something similar from me again, after the end of August this year..

My EDC is a 65 R17 by Burton...
Will go anywhere, when I'm riding with anyone....except in deep powder(don't ask).
In the bag with it, a 171 FC Coiler, or the 177 wcr Prior.
Carver's only boards...Don't go to Vail with your skier friends on these(another don't ask..).
The "niche" boards...Madd 158 for Southern VT January days, and a 65 Fish for those elusive powder days..

Hey all,
Shred and Cuban, I always head out to Colorado a week before SES...It's been my secret to ride Summit County to aclimate prior to heading into Aspen....Thus the comment on tying the two trips together..So the last week in January suits me well....
I will adjust to whatever dates work out...you guys know that already. I would like to hook up with dredman and johnasmo if they decide on the dates though.
Just got back from camping in Watertown Park(alberta/ BC / US line)...and hiking on the glaciers, hmmm Montana was so close....
It's gonna ba a long summer at this rate.
-
Is it too early to be thinking BMES 2010?????
THe SES dates are up for Feb 6-12..This will make it easier to tie two trips into one vacation...mmmmmmmmm
ps. love the videos, Johnasmo!

Great pictures from the past week! I think you all are catching on to this rub-in thing...
I never did make it to the seacoast this weekend, and I didn't quite make it onto a snowboard, although I was dressed for it...Not quite Aspen around here:) A nod to AlexJ and Steph for the sunday shenanigans...
-
PaulK always does so much work posting rub-in pictures that we thought we'd help :)
Wow...is all I can say as I sit at work looking out at all the rain today. I'm afraid I can't compete with those pictures Tom. At least, not until late August maybe:)
This weekend, I'll try to take advantage of the rained out MX racing, and head to Rhode Island with the surf boards..a nod to Softbootsailer for inspiration.

Weather and work permitting...3/12,13,14th.

Photo taken from Aspen..
Ah.. Sunset. we had you at your best and worst.
and then the last photo taken in Vail...
pg13:)
-
come on...we all know Paul is on his XC kick
Ahh..yeah.
I've since been to an intervention...SES Aspen. I recommend it to anyone who might find themselves straying. Helps to have a good support network in place too:)
Now, if I can get away with a splitboard.....Tuckerman's is calling. Any takers?

Great to meet you Steve!
I'm left wishing I could be much closer to Sugarloaf than a 6 hour drive.
4 days is not enough.
Thanks for your help with Captain Ray. The jury is still out on the extent of his injury. He did make it home without too much trouble though.
Shred... Are you feeling the LOVE!!
Schtubbies Rock.

I had that 164 OLD SCHOOL Asym Alp I wanted to donate to you for retro days...
Ken
Some knuckle head thinks he just scored a fancy "new school" racing board.. I mean after all, you won't find a Burton board like that in any store.
I'll keep a look-out for it too.
Good to meet you in the gondi on wednesday!
-Paul (hanging out with Shaggy, Steph, and Mark.)
Ear Dragger...no friday for me. Furnace died, the man is coming to fix it friday pm. Sat-sun looking better.

Sending well wishes your way Johnasmo!
This season is shaping up into a crash fest. Two friends out this way have had wrecks in the past week. One was in a collision with another boarder, dislocated shoulder. The second friend caught his heelside in spectacular fashion, knocking himself silly and wrenching his knee pretty good.
Everyone, be safe out there, the season is winding down fast.
Is it winter yet(2009 ver.)? *spoiler*
