Great to see all you hooligans again! Feels good to be back. See you on Saturday and/or Sunday at Carvin Marvin's bash. Glad you are okay, Bigs. That was a gnarly crash.

Arne and I rode softboots on Wednesday- really nice easy riding powder. It was like the Loveland of old (probably due to 70 being a mess- sorry JohnE). Virtually no one was there. Upper Richards treeline was amazing. Happy to be back on snow again.

Corey- I hope you got to Lovey- I saw just now that Cdot started avalanche mitigation a little bit before Loveland at around 830 this morning. Have fun if you are there. It should not be crowded especially with the Interstate closed. Cheers.

Are you around Wednesday? I have been very sick but hope to ride Wednesday for as long as my body and lungs can go.

Same! That is because we are twins, Yasu!

Great board. I have the exact same board, same size, and love it. Highly recommended

The F2s are just easier to correct on, especially if you race because you get a nice lateral flex. Just be sure to check them a lot, the tnuts can loosen, and they do break after a few seasons. Even small me has broken the bails in training. Be sure to replace them around 100 to 150 days. You can try the SG bindings too. Evidently the SGs are a bit sturdier than the F2s (not like the Bombers where you are pretty much completely locked with no forgiveness), but I have not tried them. Yamifumi can chime in on that. I used to ride the 6/ 3 set up on Bombers. The f2s will come with a large block, so use that as the 6 and stack for the 3s. You'll figure it out when you get them. Don't be afraid to get the Kesslers; they are rebranded F2s.

Wish my pup wasn't sick. Hoping to ride Wednesday. Can anyone play hookie?

1. Got rid of TD3 sidewinders for F2 bindings and never looked back! 2. Apex X plate 3. UPZ boots over Deluxxe

Not every rider is guaranteed a second run. Top 32 get a second qualifying run. What was televised for Worlds was finals, not qualifications.

Better-seeded riders chose the blue course. Sometimes there's course bias, but if you talk to many World Cup riders, they prefer the one run elimination format.

Todd Richards was one of the commentators. And huge kudos to Robby Burns who finished 15th today!

Marian Dziak is his name.

Good to see you today, Arne. I was only up on 9 one run. The viz was so bad that patrol rolled their sled off the top. Patrol Bowl was rough, but the Headwall 4 was awesome almost worth another trip up.

Nice day at Cooper! Friendly workers, great snow, and no one stepping on your equipment in lift lines all made up for the slow lifts and lack of vert. It was nice getting away from the masses, and I believe today was a "busy" day there. Odd Job, Erezzabelle plus one, Yasu, Mr. Positive, and I journeyed over on one of our 3 freebies off the Loveland pass. Quite a few got their first introduction to the Poma lift. Smiles were written across everyone's faces when we were done for the day around 3pm, and we'll be taking advantage of 2 more days off the Loveland pass for sure.

Told you it was the B.A.D. I'm heading to Cooper next weekend instead. Who's with me? Whooohoooooooooo! Yeah! Whohoooo! Lol Yasu should jump on this. Not a good idea for Jwan unless he's going to ride a plate.

On a positive, we are buddies with whohoooo guy now. I'm sure you're thrilled with that, Bigs.

He got on the phone with RR and picked up 2 more wannabe BBS. They should do well. Complete shit show of a day that has left a bad taste in my mouth about our once beloved mountain. Things have really changed there this past year from the level of service to the attitudes of some of the staff. I know they are having problems getting the place fully staffed, so maybe that's a part of it. RIP BBS

I'll be there tomorrow.

Gonna be really cold, Bigs!

I stayed away today. Again.

Sorry I didn't make it, JD, I nearly blew away when I opened the door to let the dogs out!

I'll be there Wednesday! And Christmas too with Odd Job and Ice!

I love Festivus!
