with near 100 attendees the local food and drink income will be great for them.

Good luck in your next adventure Pete. Fun riding with you.

I use a paint edger with a thin metal blade from Home Depot. wide but not tall so the thing scrapes true.It's 12" wide

chirp, chirp, chirp... crickets...

Cool, I was hoping for a local to ride with. Any deals on a lift pass ?

I'll be ridin Schweitzer Thursday. Hope to be ridin with you fruitbooters Sunday

Traveling through Sand Point next week. Planning on riding Thursday the 5th. Probably on the Mono. Love to hook up with anybody there. I'm a 1st chair kinda guy. Three-O-Three-513-9 zero 42

Monoboards/monoskis are allowed at both

You might also try Craigslist for 4 pack tickets. Lots of scammers be careful if you go that route

The New Soul 7 HD. Rippin good skis

On the skiers code topic... 6 weeks ago I was killin' it on my Virus skis having an epic day. As I was transitioning my next turn I gave a look over my shoulder and... BAM. A Texas novice snowboarder, who was sitting in the shadows next to the trees, pushed off without looking... right in front of me. All I could do is throw myself to the side. I think my right ski went between his feet. I took him out pretty hard but he was not hurt. Me: concussion, fractured right thumb, serious ankle sprain and major MCL damage. MRI coming in a few days to see how bad, possible ACL Who knows... In my mind it is clearly his fault for not looking uphill before entering a trail perpendicular to the trail/fall line, but, according to the skiers code it is my fault. According to Trace I was going 50 MPH

I have no idea.

A good start point is: Ball of the foot 1" ahead of effective edge center. I had very limited success with a plate system. I had Sean, (Donek), make me a plate with side by side inserts. I can mount it on any 4x4 insert Alpine board. I used Bomber skiboard bindings, I mounted the plate to insert center. I think that if you load your front foot on the plate it can actually lift the rear, thus requiring riding neutral body position. My Avatar is me on a Rossi Throttle that I direct mounted solomon ski bindings. Damn that board carved well as a Mono. I mounted around 12 different Alpine boards Mono style. I feel that the core profile is different somehow than a mfg mono and most didn't work out as I had hoped. A single foot release is pretty rare, you either don't release or both release. Some monoriders torque a binding right off of the board. If you "modulate" with the outside foot you can control the edging. IE: lifting on the outside foot when turning. Riding technically correct you will never rip a binding out..

Update: Sure missing riding with you Yahoos... The VA continues to amaze me, MRI scheduled for FEB 23rd. WOW ! Still really swollen, but, slowly feeling better. Ankle is tolerable and the knee only hurts if I move it too much. I have a feeling that I will be able to ride the mono in 3 or 4 weeks. Took a roadtrip to Oregon to see my sweetie, just got back. easy 6 days of driving.

Going to be awhile finding out the full extent of my mishap. 1st available Orthopedics appt. is Jan 11th. then they will schedule an MRI of my knee and ankle. Like we used to say in the Army... hurry up and wait !

Known damage so far... concussion, extensive ligament/tendon damage to my ankle, fractured thumb, and probable MCL/ACL . will know more after seeing the Orthopedic surgeon and MRI. Not good... My season is over. Bummer I was having fun today. I'll come up and see you fruit booters for breakfast in a few weeks. Thanks to EVERYONE for hanging and helping me out. The LCI RULES ! P.S the guy I ran into got thumped but not hurt.

I'll second that !

the Odd one told me he's going tomorrow. all day for 4 runs. no thanks. Loveland is hopeful to open next tweek

When I taught Halliburton new hires to drive semis, there is a simple trick to steering the trailer. Simply put your hand in the middle, on the bottom of the steering wheel. While watching in your mirrors move your hand in the direction that you want the trailer to go.

put a receiver on the front of your Subaru and drive/push it up your drive. that way it's all set to hook up and go next time

wish you all the best Mister !

we will hold you to that !! Enlist Mario for some gourmet additions to your party

option 1....

Sorry to be missing out on all the fun. Nursing a knee issue. Seems to be improving, but, very slowly...
