I'd give up my virginity to dial in a toeside to perfection!!

Just found it buried under a mound of junk. A diamond amongst the rough, if you will. I thought Mike might have it but alas... Bad Dave. I have your interview on my PC right now too. Just have to edit out all your F bombs and top secret, government, Death Star plan shizzle. Dave

Just right click and "save as" for a PC and the apple peeps can jump in for their format. If you'd like the full version, however, we could probably work something out. ;) Yep, it really pumps me up too when I watch it. Billy is in it too. He's the guy in the course, from behind ( 'cause that's just the way he rolls ) in the practice course with banners missing but stubbies present. He's a slalom frickin' genius, in my book. Dave

Here's some race footage put together by Phil Fell. Dave

We schmott schmirty shmive schminces schmeer.... Blah blah blah.....

.... my "claim" for 3 hundy vert was inacurate as well. I'm just relying on childhood memories after all. 250'!! http://www.skimichigan.com/mtbrighton/

I didn't get that from AE. That rumor's been around for as long as I can remember. It's a very old rumor if it's not true..... I will research my "claim". I do think now after visiting their site that it's the only promo pic that I've seen for a resort that promotes alpine w/o promoting freestyle as well. http://www.skimichigan.com/mtbrighton/ can I get a whoop whoop for Mt Brighton?!

Iron River... Does he know any Talaskas? Dave

Your link doesn't work Dave...but... That's a pretty general question to the general population. You should surf around the site for awhile. There is plenty of data to be had. Dave

I learned to ski at Mt. Brighton. ( see opening of Aspen Extreme ) Had a pass at Alpine Valley when I was in college at Univ o Toledo. For those of you that don't know, Mt Brighton is 300 vert of trash.... no really!! It's a couple of lifts built on a landfill!! Ahhh the memories....

Are the conditions great? Worth the drive from SLC? Email me, Jeff!! Dave

Jib stemmed from Jibberish for how the language of freestyle sounded when speaking to a non Jibber..... That's my take.

The forcast for the Salt Lake Valley is sunny and mid to upper forties through next weekend. High pressure's great!!.....when you have a 6-8 foot base and it gets up into the low thirties for the high. C'mon!! Prolly a bit cooler up in Park City but doesn't look like any snow. They're probably blowing the race hill and the PayDay lift area. I believe there are some spouts at the base of Kin Con area as well. It's so damn late this year. I'm hurting deep inside. So Tom, Do you live around here now? I was thinking you were coming later. Dave

Not I, said the Dave.... C'monnnnnnn snow!!

For the record... DHL has been the shipper of all our boards right now. They have a great price and charge much less for oversized dimensions. Dave

That guy's foot looks like it got hit by a shrink-ray.

it would be a custom board, at that point. They could not stock.

If it's online, and you can access it w/o a password, it's public, eh? Sweet...... Dave

First off, thanks to Fin for all the posting he lets us do on his forum. Thanks also to y’all for tolerating us. This is the most concentrated group of Alpine Snowboarders in the world and this meeting place really helps us get the word out to people about the goings on in Utah and around and our effort to grow the Alpine Snowboard world. My first Summit Expression was this past season. I had heard of it, upon inception and started to follow it here, on Bomberonline soon after. I have seen it grow only in text and pictures. Billy and I loaded the truck on a Wed evening and bolted for the SES last season. Words can’t describe it if you have any love for our sport. My jaw hung off my face for 72 hrs straight. Our Wasatch Trenchin’ Convention would be having it’s 2nd year in a few weeks after our initial SES. The work put forth by Michelle and Fin to have the SES both logistically and physically is truly amazing but really let me know that we had a lot of work to do…. Jeff named the WTC, on a lift ride of course, and it stuck. Billy and Skully actually had the initial Utah Expression Session. I can remember Skully bugging me like crazy the next season to get my $hit together for #1 WTC. I had kinda committed but Hardbooter was barely an entity so it was pretty small. Mostly just people who knew each other getting together for a session. The first year, we met at Max’s snowboard shop, traded boards around played with binders and went ridin’. Our event last season though was a bit more complicated. We set up a tent, got insurance, had waivers and introduced a whole slew of Utah riders to the alpine world thanks to the logistical input from Michelle. Fin attended and brought all his goodies with him for 2 of the 4 days. We’re going to put our foot down this year for him to match our days at the SES, eh Fin? As the interest in Alpine grows, so will all the the “timed” and planned congregations. In only 2 years, we went from very few riders to a bunch. It’s pretty neat to watch what is happening to our sport. Alpine is not dead! Soooooooo…. To make a long thread short, The Wasatch Trenchin’ Convention will be Wed the 1rst of Feb thru Sunday the 5th. Exact format is TBD but will follow closely last years event. Park City Mountain Resort and Snowbasin will be the host resorts. As mentioned previous, Fin will be out and, between us, we’ll have demos galore. This is the place on our site to see details as they come. If you don’t make our event, please, for your own mental state, go to the East Coast Expression Session or the Summit Expression Session! It’ll just absolutely blow your face off!! Dave

Precip. Yea Kirk.... I meant the Precip's been here lately. It has been a dry fall though. Raining at my house right now and my nipples are hard so either it's chilly here and chilly enough for snow up high or I'm getting aroused typing this post. Could be either or both since I'm thinking of turns right now. Dave

.....

Utah is having a slow start this year. The Precip's been there but it's been unseasonably warm. I've heard direct from Billy out at Copper and a storm just rolled through handing them just under 2 feet of fresh. Before that, I hear it was real boney. Colorado snow is usually a good sign for Utah. It's definately late this year but have faith!! It's Utah! and your dates are a month away. You should be good. Dave

Hey guys and gals, Here is some footage set to some music of some riders. (Bill and Phil) My computer crashed before I could put final touches on it so it is as is. So much video craz going on I though we'd be as Romans.... If you don't mind, right click and save so we may save on bandwidth. There is a quicktime verson also that you can access on the index page. Mike'll have a .mov link throughout soon. Shorty... Dave

Gotcha covered. Email me... Dave

You Drink beer now, Phil? That's new to me.... Wait, you're old enough to drink beer now, Phil... Have a great trip!! Dave
