    Yo Lci!!

    Spring break sucks. I really should have stayed in bed, I'd probably be feeling better today. We shall see what joy next Sunday brings.

    Crowds were light and the groom was fast and firm, I was okay with that part, it was airing it out every time I came across was the big nope Mario

    I, as normal, was a dumbass. Got a wicked pissa of a cold going and should have stayed in bed. If the viz was better, and the groom flatter, it would have been awesome. At least I booted up and got one in. My ears still haven't cleared after 8 hours. Hopefully crowds will thin next week and shit will be awesome. Looking forward to riding with you again. On a positive note, down 15 lbs since the depths of my debauchery in February. 2 750's of bourbon a week is not a good headspace Mario

  7. From Mr. Miller: "Elmers spray contact adhesive. Its a fine mist and is easy to apply over 3m products. He REALLY REALLY needs to keep the core dry or it's phucked!"
  8. People are just clueless. Watch most groups low intermediate people riding together and they will all be within feet of each other like a 5 year old's soccer team around the ball. I got strafed yesterday by a spring breaker, mere inches off of the nose of my board at the apex of my heelside. I followed her while she basically straightlined to the lift, and told her there was no reason to ride that close to anyone, ever. Her response was along the lines of "whatever" after I told her she about ran over my phucken board. Again, totally clueless. She blew me off, told me to have a nice day. I told her to have a $hitty one and try to turn. I have no patience left for obliviots. Mario
  9. Keep drilling on that easy pitch to build and reinforce your neural pathways and muscle memory. Rinse and repeat on gradually steeper pitches until it becomes rote and boring, then hit that pitch and see how you do mario

    Since MJFD has gotten all of the infractions out of the way, I'll do a quick recap on Saturday and Sunday Lift 3 saturday morning was initially overrun with skiracer grommets, first run was pure anarchy. Luckily things calmed down while we waited for MJFD to get back from his potty break, and the other John got his pass straightened out. From that point on we absophuckinlutely knifed switchback. The xc was putting a whipping on my legs after a bit, so i switched over to the 8rw. it was a good call. Lost track of time while we all tore it up, the odd one had switched over to his slalom board, which he amazingly rode like a slalom board! nice change of pace, and impressive. MJFD continued to kill it on his kpop board. At some point my legs blew up in I pulled the chute with the rest of the team following suit. We hit the main bahr upstairs and watched the odd guy get wasted on two beers, collapse his huge melon into his helmet, and spend the rest of the afternoon listening to the sound of the sea. Sunday Classic no friends on a powder day, with Katie, Lance, MJFD, Monodude, Odd Job, SVR, and myself all ending up doing are own thing for a bit then regrouping later on. We were joined apres by Ice and Hil, both recovering from various injuries. Wind had blown a bunch of snow into Bennets and firecut, it was a lot deeper than the advertised 8". The low angle stuff on my lawn was the best, I was doing an imitation of Sandy at times, and just pointing it. I called it after a bit when my knees started getting the $hit beat out of them on the highly trafficked turtle creek. back to the lift. Joe, sorry for the pasting, I felt you needed to be punished for tinkerbelling, and I couldn't stop myself. In all seriousness, it was a pleasure riding with you, as always, thanks for coming out and joining us Mario

    Guy, I will take my deductions with pride, but don't you think you're going a little easy on yourself, I mean one run in and you ask to be excused for an unsanctioned pee break? 2 runs in and you need another unsanctioned break, this time for water? on the boardswap, the DEA 'splorer was a whopping 25 yards away from your backpack with your magik elexir, furthermore I did run what I brung Guy, I brought 2 and I rode 2... Whose pass did you use to get your discounted lift ticket, Guy? GFY! Mario

    planning on both days this weekend, looking at the forecast, im just heading to the race lot tomorrow morning to stay out of the wind. Chief instigator of the Loon Goons, Mr. John Deere will be joining us this weekend, as well as Monodude on Sunday. Mario
  14. JD will take it, I sent you a pm with his number Mario
  15. Hi Kahn, Sorry to bail so early yesterday, that biff I took was a little worse than I thought at first, so I did the adult thing and made myself stop. MR. John Deere is in town next week, you might want to try and hook up with him, or one of the other crew. Ill text him and let him know that you have an extra Mario
  16. https://www.backcountry.com/explore/train-eccentric-leg-strength-for-alpine-skiing?branch_used=true just a overweight 60 year old hack weekend warrior needing knee replacements so take my advice with a tablespoon of coarse salt. Through the years ive done heavy squats and deadlifts blah blah blah..., this is a brutally efficient bodyweight circut that will probably make you curl up on the floor crying in the fetal position. Ive adjusted the exercises to my stance, and do the jump squats in stance, and side to side mimicking transitions from heal to toe to heal to toe and on and on. Not a trainer by any means, but worth a shot. Read the article, it is an eye opener Mario

    I was stopping a lot, with nearly continuous 6 checks. I was not after nonstops yesterday, i was on a different mission. No short board tomorrow, the larger volume of turns = greater time on the run = increased chance of getting whacked. I couldn't believe how many i laid down on spillway last week, but I'm not willing to risk that on a holiday weekend. probably just cursed myself.

    Left at 7:20 ish, it was nice to drive up in daylight. Pulled in to a half full Race lot because: Colorado Highschool State finals race Lots of fencing up, so no ziggin and zaggin, just jumped right in, though I stopped quite a bit to actually warm up. First 3 where fine, worked on hand management and cleaning up my healy, tracks got cleaner and cleaner each successive run. I pulled up at the top of the roller by mid station, looked behind me, and promptly shat my trousers. A line of tucked teenaged racers were closing fast, oblivious to the public on the slopes, got buzzed again on lower zigzag. Pulled into the liftline, and a coach asked to ride with me. Asked him what was going on, he told me " State Championships", I shared my experience on the previous run. He was not happy, "they are not supposed to be doing that" and promptly got on the radio with the rest of the coaches and patrol. Got off the lift and started waiting as each full chair vomited off another complement of racers. A crusty old patroller came out of the lift shack, ambled over, and promptly positioned himself at the top of the run and dressed down every racer grommet going by to watch their speed, this is not a closed course, you are riding with the public, and to save it for the course. It was beautiful. waited about 15, and after the last group of wannabes were disgorged, I started the rest of morning. Lots of comments from the older folk( apparently i am now part of that demographic) about the group that rides on sunday, about how awesome they are. I, rather bashfully, informed them that I was one of them. It was glorious, right up until my legs informed me, that, yeah, you're done. see you sunday, Mario

    Hi Everybody! So, like the rest of the country, really hasn't felt much like winter, so I haven't been posting much, since it would've mostly been rants about kooks, lack of terrain, and gee, we could really use more snow. Lance, thanks for stepping up in the interim. Finally feeling like winter, with most of the crowds dispersed on the rest of the mountain, searching for gnar off of of 4, 8, and 9, and the kantexahomans over at the valley shredding the terrain off of 7 and the magic carpet. Most excellent crew out today, with the usual stalwarts Ice, Ink, Dt, Sandy, returning nutcase vet oddjob, and myself, were joined by western sloper Carvin Marvin. We laid waste to the usual runs off of ptarmidgen, 6, and chets. Our aging, beatup bodies called it after a few hours, we even skipped our usual post ride recovery libations in order to get down the hill before the superbowl shit show started ramping up. Still one of the better days of the season with fairly firm even groom, though there are a few soft spots, Inky watched my boots disappear on a particularly nasty toeside. A few runs are still a bit uneven, but with more grooming that should even out and disappear. New thirst XCM is pure money, btw. Me likey, alot! Mario
