4" new yesterday with a nice grippy groom underneath for carving. Issues on I-70 made for few people out at opening bell which we took advantage of. Myself, svr, Ice, Kyle, OddJob, FnG and Miss FnG in the line up. It was cold but at least we had a head wind while ascending to the top. One and done on the practice field due to said cold and winds and on to 6 for a bit more protection. A couple runs to defile roulette and on to the other side for pow turns in the blown in areas around the Flushes. Legs tired from many laps on 6 and the move to Chets was made. Only 2 runs here before we called it for recovery beverages in the Rat. D.T., not feeling the ride with a hurting foot made it up to the rat to hear the chatter about how awesome a day it had been. Mario the wuss, per D.T., decided his bed was more fun than ripping turns with the LCI. Bigs gets pack mule punishment for next week as you will be hauling everyone's gear to Chets from the lot. Miss FnG, thanks for holding down the estrogen side as our regulars could not be in attendance. You are welcome to join us more frequently. ink

Saw this on IG, stoked for her. ink

that was fun, thanks for the edit marvin! cant wait for this sunday to arrive ink

I must have done something right in my body slam recovery because I am barely feeling the pain and aches of that one. Even got out for a couple laps on the Lg DJ line for #lunchlaps. Another fun day yesterday till it wasn't. Then it got fun again. Happy Birthday Marvin! Thanks for the yummy grinds Rachel! Ink

This reminds me of the early days of BX when most of the winners were from the alpine side. Congrats Cody and Arnaud! ink

FNG and Miss FNG will be attending too. Gonna need min 4 buddy tix. ink

I'm in. I need to check but I may have an available 4pak tix. let you know tonight. ink

Need ta take your gloves this weekend Ink

That sucks to hear. I was looking forward to seeing what he could do in the early stages of international competition. Ink

Burton Amp 5 if its the 150 version ink

Board was holding your turns well and driving to where you sent it with no issues. Was definitely fun to watch you making it come around and vary the turn shape as you saw fit. ink

As Bigs said above "Checked the luv webcams this am, groom looked carvalicious" it was better than it looked. Destroyed the practice field before moving on to Bennetts for a few groovy runs. Noob was super excited with the conditions. No Firecut groom so we did not hit that. On to roulette for more than the usual amount of runs since nobody wanted to leave it. Finally called it there to hit Spillway/Richards before the legs were shredded. Spillway was a bit wavey without an overnight groom but grippy and fun with air transitions between turns. Richards was as fun as usual. 8 +1 out with svr, ice, hillb, d.t., j49, mr. e, kyle, and myself. Added for some late tanker 186 demo runs was Trent. He seemed to be digging the ride and his legs were tired from not being used to carving as much as he was. Inside the Rat for recovery refreshments. Good times with good friends. Many comments like "so fast", "looks awesome", "so low" were heard everywhere we went. Ice was even called a "magical unicorn" by demo boy Trent. ink

@softbootsurfer I don't know for sure but seems maybe the SB racing is on in Korea. Looking through RM Snowboards FB page there are a bunch of pics of A) SB carving boards using Apex Geckos or Iron Rock plates B) podiums of just SB riders C) pics of girls with SB carve boards standing taller than themselves. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Sports/RM-Snowboards-102857381338345/ RM has both SB and HB carving boards made in Slovenia from what I can tell without being able to read Korean.

My brother and I had a 150 rocket. That was a heavy, stiff board but it was a lot of fun. ink

Just saw that @TVR son has been invited to compete for the USA in Valmalenco, Italy March 29 - April 4, 2022. Congrats to both of you! ink

Smaller than the previous 2 Sundays with 5 regulars, Bigs, Ice, svr, shelly and myself, working on being a regular, noob J49, and special guests BRatcliffe and wife. BR used to race with me back in the day and showed up on his new 152 Yes powder board. After working hard carving it svr traded him for a couple runs putting him on a tanker 186. Seeing svr on a 152 was very comical since he hasn't ridden anything that small in many, many years. BR would now like to try the 181. I tested out the Tanker 201 Team edition owned by Ice. This board was a blast railing turns like a freecarve board and not a freeride/powder longboard. Took a bit to get used to the width but dang that is a fun board to play on. Bigs, aka "tinkerbell" for the day, had 4 lens changes, 3 board changes, a binding adjustment at the bottom and a binding adjustment at the top. Not one of his best days going into a much needed vacation from work and LCI shenanigans. Shelly was carving hard as seen in the post above by D.T. and enjoying her Tanker 171 Japanese edition. Weather and light was constantly changing but much fun was had by all. Due to the cold and changing weather only a short cahr bahr session was enjoyed. ink

Sounds similar to my 5+ year old green Virus 183GS. It's a keeper too. ink

Avel snowboards from Korea just came across my IG. I know nothing about them as I hadn't heard of them till now. https://avel.co.kr Ink

snag it anyway, small boards offer a different kind of fun. Both bigs and I have 162-3 play boards. usually for early and late season but rode mine the other weekend. ink
