Hello from southern Oregon. I will be riding Mt. Ashland this winter. Hope to meet another carver there. I will probably come down to Shasta a time or 2. I don't ride a snowboard, but, I love carving on a Mono, Skwal, or my Virus skis. Been hanging out with the (LCI) carvers @ Loveland, Colorado for the last 7 or 8 years.

Amazing save indeed. I road raced Motorcycles for 10 years @P.I.R in Portland, Oregon. Love "carving" on a motorcycle. I love carving the mountains on my bike in the summer.

Maybe you have a bigger valley? Or less unruly occupants? Actually, I stated on our first date... "when the snow falls there's NO DISCUSSION !" Much to her chagrin she soon realized that I was/am serious. Although I have had to refresh her memory on that from time to time. Like John E said, It's a matter of need !

I got 5 last year alone... 16 Mono's, 6 Skwals, 3 snowboards, and 2 pairs of skis last count. That's after I sold 4 mono's Feed The Addiction

If you like riding with a crew... Loveland has 6-12 rippers on any and every Sunday. All really good riders and just plain good people. I rode with them for near 10 years. Loveland has the best snow conditions of any, as far as I'm concerned. Food is reasonable too. And as JRAZ said, the key to driving I 70 is leave EARLY, ride hard, out early. On a powder day that 2 hour drive can be 4+...

No internal dialog here. I'm so intensely focused on the moment that nothing else exists. I used to listen to heavy death metal, but it got me riding more aggressive than my body could handle. I typically ride 50 - 60mph so I don't want any mental distractions.

What is the angle of other mfgrs boots ? "flat" is probably a relative term. I dare say all foot wear has heel lift to some degree. So UPZ set up is relative to the difference

I get that comment often...

Needed to get Sheila to a lower elevation. $61K for 1.3 acres AND a house. Might sell in a couple years after giving it the treatment. Probably double my money

So.... I bought a house in southern Oregon. We will be moving in about 6 weeks. My new home mountain will be Mt. Ashland. Gonna miss all you fruitbooter hooligans. Thanks for the support, friendship, and acceptance of this red-headed stepchild of the snow sliding world. Don

Your infection is contagious. I will be testing my new to me Cyborg 181, 14.5 waist. Big camber and stiff. I know... It's a snowboard please don't tell my Mono friends...

Thias Skwal Panther 178 Excellent condition
monodude replied to lgpresses's topic in Vintage For Sale
I have a lightly used set of the "newer style" Thias Skwal bindings. (they have been in a box for the last 25 years) They are an all plastic base. P.M. me with an email address and I'll send some pics. $100 + shipping from Colorado U.S.A. I run Cateks with no issues. They allow cant, lift to get just what you want. -

When I rented White Pine in Wyoming 3 years ago, i had them do a deli meat, mac salad, potato salad, etc... smorgasbord type lunch. Included water and soda. Basically all you wanted to eat. I think they did it for $14 each. It made it easy for them to set-up/prep and no cooking to wait on. Lunch was 11:00-1:00 . Maybe you could ask them and those who are going if something along those lines could be worked out. Could be dishes of pasta, Lasagna, or ???? Don
