    Wow......I would have freaked to be reviewing the footage later and to have seen that chasing me!

    Any idea where she's at??

    Don’t worry about it; they only go after people who aren’t wearing helmets. They hate removing the packaging to get to the juicy center.

  3. Tanker Day again on Friday. Mario's Yard was in desperate need of landscaping. Lift line under 8 was great, as was terrain off 9. Here's hoping the west wind has replenished things by tomorrow for you all!

    Looks like it will be another good day for tankers tomorrow.

    Yesterday was, in fact, a good day for Tankers. It was also a good day for flat light lenses, which I had. In my car. This laziness/stupidity contributed directly to the three hardest spills I've taken in years when 1) the earth abruptly fell away from me off the side of a cat track at high speed, 2) soft, pillowy fluff turned into pockmarked, boilerplate slag again at high speed, and 3) the end of a steep run came early in the form of an ice culvert. All of which ended with a whiplash-y neck snap and me on my back, head downhill. I wish I had witnessed any one of these. The day was still glorious and great lines were to be found under the Chair 8 lift. Aside from cutting wind, brutal cold and plonky lifts, the Ganzfeld experience (flat light+blowing snow+above treeline) is another of Loveland's unique charms. I love her.

    The no-other-people-around thing makes it much easier to poop on your Lawn undisturbed. Which I did. With gusto.

    Tanker Sesh was a blast.

    Myself, Big Mario, Ice, Hillb, D.T., J49, Lisa, SVR, Slopestar, Andrew, James, Laurel, and the Rad Air man himself, Harry Gunz. 

    4-201s, 1-200, and both of SVR's Rad Air-Winterstick collab boards.

    That is SO freakin' awesome!

    Fair, fair. I am so sorry.  Let’s see, the only photo on hand is below - gen one is dark green, third from left. If I recall—173/27 20m scr on a fairly short effective edge but with long, early taper shovel and tail that are engaged off piste. Stiff too. For the record, this board rails hard on groom too — fast

    It begs the question, for me at least, of how it performs compared to the Big Gun standing next to it?

    Sometimes I say “it’s a snowboard for old people”. One time a kid responded “that’s so cool”. 

    This guide should help: "It's a snowboard for...

    • ...old people"
    • ...people whose pants aren't too big"
    • ...people who don't always wear plaid"
    • ...anyone who's not high right now"
    • ...for people who don't wear beanies in 80-degree weather."

    Join in, it's fun!

  9. If I squint really hard, I can envision a day when someone melds the two independent skis into a single ski, a "board" if you will, that can be used in much the same way. The current technological hurdles are too high to overcome now, but in the future, that day will come.

    If you are not heading up the pass by 6 am- stay home. Really Sad how bad it is now. And WP is bottle necked by Berthoud pass and by one stupid stop light on the way back

    Remember Berthoud before all the childproofing? You had to WANT it. Now? Any sucker can brave it.
