  1. This happened to me a couple weeks ago on a Thursday afternoon.  Had the place to myself.  High School ski race that day.  Didnt expect the little s#*t heads to be straight-lining my favorite run, far from the competition.  Can't prove it; but, I think they were trying to buzz me.  Caught him in the corner of my eye at the last microsecond.  REALLY HARD HIT.  My board is totaled.  The teenager that hit me flew 30-40 feet down the run and slid much farther.  Neither of us got up very quick.  Had a discussion with his coach.  Thank God we both limped away, my board will never turn again......

  2. Hey all!

    I assume this has been cancelled due to COVID?

    Granite Peak is open with a few restrictions.

    I live on the hill and willing to host a gathering if there is any interest?

    Friends with the GM here and we may be able to get some special accomodation, with enough interest.  They may not close runs but definitley posted for carving.

     

    Slopes are pretty wide open in the middle of the week.

    And, most important, my bar is always stocked!

  3. All Hail Mr. Redman!

    Ours is a unique pursuit.  We are a freaky bunch.  It's difficult to learn anything about carving/alpine boarding.

    Redman has really created something special.  In addition to organizing a stress free carving experience, he created a MCC  "family."  I had thought it a little trite to use "family" to describe the event.  After making it through the whole event (crash free this year )and having time to reflect, "family" is a perfect moniker for MCC.  

    I really appreciate the sponsors and others who put in so much effort.  I'm sure I don't realize half the effort necessary.  Where else can we ride with such experienced carvers, demo equipment, and meet new friends?

    I've already carved up with folks I met at MCC and I'm sure I will ride with more.  Plans are already in progress.

      I can't wait until next year!
