Mellow Yellow

one more weeeee.....

Beech was in the best shape I've seen in 2 years. Couple pics from yesterday taken by a friend.... Ahhh the aspen like grooming... :rolleyes: Weeeee.... The view from 5500 feet

Well... I will be at Beech. Give the only slope worth riding is what they will be racing on at App... drat. Have fun!

Are they having races on Sunday?

Michelle - when we arrive on Friday to pick up our lift passes... will we get to meet you live and in person??? What about Fin? and Jack Michuardo? and Shred Gruumer?

Appreciated! I can't make this week/end. However, both my wife and I have family in Pittsburgh and we may end up traveling up there at some point this season. If I go up I am going to try to hit Seven Springs. Anyone go there? I've never been to Wisp in the winter, even having lived in the Burgh' up unitl 2004. Springs was an hour from my door. Now that I sometimes drive 3 hours to go to the crud we have down here... a 2 hour drive from Pittsburgh doesn't sound that bad! BTW - any of you going to the SES?

Hmmmm..... its been terrible down here... flipping 70+ degrees.... how is wisp right now... I am 6 hours from wisp

Going tomorrow, don't plan to see anyone there... :(

I normally don't say much.... but that thar' is a dick move bouz'y Of course maybe you really are onto something....! I am never purchasing another used item on Bomber for more then the lowest that same or like item has ever sold! Keep selling those Viri low Mr. Shred...

prob going to Beech on Monday....

Not really the liftline.... but what I normally hear (read the caption below):rolleyes:

Thinking of hitting Beech this Friday if conditions are okay, anyone else in the dirty south planning on riding?

About 5.5 hours to the shoe and 7 to wisp... sigh... don't think I'll be up that far north this year. If I am up near wisp I usually hit 7springs.

You tell her Barry! :D

I always heard that his riding was top shelf And Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself Don't knock it til' you tried it, Well I tried it my friend I'll never ride alpine with Bordy again :D My "top" speed.... 55ish with a gps at snowmass, accuracy.. no idea.

Just one but she is a beauty.. I'll throw in a prior 181 and a volant Excel 162

I have a MADD 170, far from cherry.... more like lemon.... trade?

Well.... I was coming until I saw this thread....

Sorry to hear that Fin... you're spot on...

Sean - I think you should do a run of boards or plates with that old school Donek logo.... "special edition" :D

No, not me... but some damn fine southern riding..... :D

how about a 182 prior WRC?

wait a second..... shouldn't Bruce have been in the "Methuselah" group?

Call Extreme and ask if Carl still works there. Request that he does the tune. (I think it was extreme... the place across from Sugar). Anyway, if he still works there he did a nice job on a few of my boards. He basically told me he wouldn't let anyone at the shop touch tune my board but him....

Let's see.... I lived in PA until 2004 and Seven Springs was my home (1 hr from my driveway). Normal season was about 30 days of riding. Moved to NC (Charlotte) due to work Only get about 10 days locally and one 7 day trip each year (ECES this year) There are a few of us in NC but rarely do we ride together. Your riding will stagnate if you stay local. I know my riding has not improved much since 04 (aside from maybe being able to ride in subpar conditions) due to lack of days on the snow. You'll have to get a trip or two in to a worthwhile location AND ensure you are riding with others that are better than you. This is one reason why I head to the SES or ECES every year. I would certainly like to move to a more winter sport friendly location but it isn't high on my priority list right now. If you are open to any location, I would definitely broaden your search. However, if you move down this way let me know, we need more riders!
