I have an old K2 Trucker with topsheet delamination. I hope to mount a panorama photo on this and use it as a wall hanging. It would be nice if I could remove the topsheet as it would provide a better base for the photo. I don't know much about materials, but I'm suspecting that the topsheet is some sort of vinyl. Where it is loose from the board, it's fairly stiff. I ran a hairdryer over it, and it softenend (it would be possible to epoxy down in this state), but didn't seem to give up its grip on the board much. Here's a shot of the main delamination: Here's a panorama I put on a Burton Air 6.1:

SES/ECES-- Whatcha demo? Howd 'it ride? Will you buy one?
Dave Pushee replied to scrapster's topic in Carving Central
I started out demoing the Donek plate. It really did smooth out the carving, but I'm not sure I like the added weight and lift. I rode the Donek "backward" VSR (tighter at back end). I enjoyed figuring out how to ride this, and once that was accomplished, it worked fine for me. Did anyone else give this a try? My own Coiler 170 VSR T met an untimely demise, and my only other board at the mountain was the Madd 158. This proved to be a problem when I found myself on Polar Bear the morning after the dump. Trying to keep the nose up on that took a lot out of me. This led me to try the Coiler 171 VSR T AM. That handled the fresh really well for me and also was similar enough to my defunct board that I came to terms with Bruce so that I could take it home Friday afternoon. The Donek Rev slalom was a fun ride too. I know I rode some other boards but my old-timers disease has made me forget already. -

A Big Thank You To The Carving Community!
Dave Pushee replied to Kinetics's topic in Carving Central
Kinetics, What size are your Deluxe 225s, and what color are the tongues? I have some spare tongues (fit mondo 25-27.5 boots). I have 4 different sets of tongues (gray, yellow, red, and black or dark blue). I think I listed those by increasing stiffness. I generally use the reds for carving and sometimes back down to yellow or gray if I'm going in powder or off trail. I have never used the black/blue and would be willing to part with them. If you have the stock liners, a set of Thermo Flex would also add stiffness -look here: http://www.bomberonline.com/store/accessories/hpd_liner.cfm -
Not for me (retired). I need for all of you young carvers to keep on being employed and contributing to social security. Thanks for your continued contributions.

Mr. JD! Was that you racing down 7B to the Bunyan on Friday afternoon? If so, aren't you glad I told you to call in sick?
-
Granted, Sunday may be a mess, but Saturday doesn't get up to 50% pop until noon. You guys will be in the Bunyan by then anyway. I think precip for Saturday AM will be light and somewhat mixed. Call in sick and hit the hill tomoroow if you are worried about a little precip.

Rode yesterday and today. Soft groomed yesterday - got pushed up pretty easily, but hero snow until it got lumpy and I got worn out. Groomed firmer today and lasted pretty much all day. Met Rob Alexander both days. He was still carving up a storm on Picaroon after 2pm. Also found carver Dan and turned him over to Rob when I had to go up top to get ready for sweep. Snow should hold up well for the weekend.

Today in Plymouth: 3" snow plus some wintry mix and a bit of light rain. Current temp 33. Those guys at UPS can be such a tease. Wimps, don't they know it's important to deliver this while we have snow? Some tracking data on my Coiler: 02/28/2011 3:09 P.M. Emergency conditions beyond UPS' control. 02/25/2011 10:35 P.M. Emergency conditions beyond UPS' control. 02/25/2011 2:21 P.M. Emergency conditions beyond UPS' control. 02/25/2011 6:03 A.M. Out For Delivery ... Canada 02/22/2011 10:02 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS Screw it, I'm going to Loon tomorrow anyway.

Speaking fo rmyself, I'm only 21 (but it is the 3rd time around)

UPS apparently couldn't make it up the hill today to deliver my new Coiler VSR. Probably won't be able to fondle it until Monday.

Old man beats up 14yr old girl on Vail ski slope
Dave Pushee replied to SteveInOregon's topic in The Lodge
SteveInOregon, Old Man, indeed That guy (admittedly a bad and dangerous fellow) at 41 is by no means old. If he's old, what am I (21 for the 3rd ime around)? Careful with those titles.
