-4Just feeling out the crowd here. I plan on getting 90% of my days at BC this season. Never ridden there before. I'm usually good for about 3-4 days a week usually on weekdays with the occasional weekend. I would definitely like to meet up with someone to learn the ins and outs of the area. What is everyone else's situation?
Hey Aaron, I would be pleased to meet up with you at Beaver Creek, Though I am going through some health issues that will force me into a slow start this season, so not sure how good of a guide that I can be.
I am usually there3-4 days per week, but probably won't be getting in the usual 60 days in this season. Feel free to reach out (DM), if you have any questions..
Cheers!

I have a set of Palmer risers, if you are still searching

Well, if I had that PROBLEM, would sell the sxs and purchase two more dirt bikes, which 3 will easily fit in a 10' trailer. $.02 for free.. Then you will be ready for the GYPSUM motocross Park when it opens next Spring(May 1).

Helmet, gloves with built-in wrist guards and two pairs of underwear...pretty much does it for me.

At 24'x14', that is a BIG DECK! One could have a party on a deck that size.

Also on a sadder note (or happier depending on your perspective) we are moving to Gypsum so we will be Beaver Creekers next year. I'm still getting a 4-pak though for some prime Sunday's with you doofs.
Welcome to the neighborhood!

Duck - yuck - why would it be the only efficient way?
Yeah, I can't imagine duck stance being an efficient configuration for my riding style. I guess it's a function of one's objectives. This guy clearly has different objectives... not that there is anything wrong with that.
My stance angles are board specific, depending upon board width, though always forward facing, with the toe and heel set at the edges of the board with 5*-10* of splay.

Another season comes to an end with pretty good conditions on closing day. Time to dust off the two-wheeler.

We decided on Beaver on Saturday and Loveland on Sunday! If anybody wants to join, we will be there!!
It is always nice to meet fellow carvers and chit chat!!
I should be there through mid-day Saturday if you would like to meet up. Heading over to Vail for the US Open half pipe finals in the afternoon. Several of my son's bro's will be competing.
8:30 rope drop at chair 6.

I haven't seen anything groomed that I thought was that steep. Please, show me the goods! What trail(s)!?
On 2/27/2018 at 3:21 PM, b.free said:Willy's face, Centenial, 1876, Cataract, Ripsaw, Latigo, Upper Centenial, Double diamond - at least these ones.
Don't forget that Beaver Creek hosts a World Cup Downhill every season on Golden Eagle. It's kinda steep... and with a WC race prep/finish, it will test one's meddle (and metal).
Shooting Star, when groomed, is as good as it gets for steep groomer slope - see below.

This is INCREDIBLE... I never knew that Davy Jones was a hardbooter.

Did you know that alpine snowboards can be used like a Spirograph on snow? #venndiagram

So basically I turn in tighter and make more complete turns to slowly rub off speed using friction? Right. Thanks!
Ideally, you are not using friction (that would be skidding), but if you are able to hold the arcing carve until heading back uphill, you will be surprised how quickly speed is checked and control maintained.

Nice review John, maybe now I won't have so many solo carving days.

Andrei, are you still in for tomorrow? Parking at Arrowhead?

Hope that it lives up to your expectations. Look forward to seeing you.
Cheers!
