big mario

That is correct Mike, we are a little spoiled out here, and I only take that board out on softer days. I didn't pay attention to where D-Shack was from, my bad mario

Like a ginsu knife. My 187 wide is my all mountain board, it is a better crud buster than my axxes. mario

May rachet it up on the food this time, thinking of smokin' some ribs/brisket and pork shoulder ahead of time and heatin' em up for post ride. thinking of the logistics now. mario

why this latest round of smack? Was there a little rumble in boulder yesterday?

both.I know a place where I can do both on the same run, and those trenches have been known to trap innattentive tele skiers and small children. mario

Yo inky got some new ureathane heels collecting dust in my basement, they are yours. Don't be a wimp, bring'um hardboots. pc is in the lineup for sat., and the question is if d can keep it on the trail. :p mario ps need a ride? Pete is poolin with me, and i can throw one of the seats back in the element. 6:35ish @ el rancho deluxe? have the heels in front of me, new last season, ten days tops

And they are pretty. not as pretty as them viri' mario

Stirring the pot I see.

Broke out the 186 speedster today for day two. Rode spillway and richards, two trails that have intimidated me in the past, with power speed and beauty (well maybe not beauty) I'm thinking I like bigger boards. Conditions were much better than I expected given the warm temps and lack of cloud cover since last monday. The only downside is the increase in ski teams starting their early season training. Nothing like afew b-liners to keep you on your toes. mario P.S. Hey Thor, I talked to Dustin while he was at Bola's carassing that which you covet. just thought I would let you know, she's a 'ho

I was at Bola's the other day and I caressed the object of your lust mario

You know I have your back Thor. I live about five minutes from coors field,(Rusty is about 41/2) and have been to a minimal aount of games lately. I got tired of First place on memorial day to the basemnt on the fourth of july. So yea, I am on the band wagon. It has been amazing to see the rockheads take down my beloved phillies in three to watching byrnes make the final out in the nlcs. ROX or sox, it should be a fun ride either way. mario

Very sorry to hear this. I have heard many stories about Chuck, and was hoping to ride/meet him when he got better :( mario

It looks like the one I bought from recon. Cannot wait to get back on that beast now that I have it set up right!

DON'T MAKE ME SEPERATE YOU TWO!! mario

Bola I talked to two of the riders, Matt, and I didn't catch the other guys name. I was quite pleased with how I rode yesterday, because I have not spent that much time getting ready this year. I hav'nt even been riding my skateboard. Pete is up there now,and from what I can see from the cams It looks like its still snowing.I will get a report from him later. No bigge Steve, hopefully you'll be riding soon. mario

Got out for the first day this season today, and got in about 10,000 vertical before the jacka$$ factor got too high. Coverage at my favorite local resort was very nice. Spillway and Richards were added in addition to catwalk, mambo, and homerun,and the rest of the mountain was looking really white. If The next storm drops as much as predicted, I'm thinking 2 and 6 will be open,and quite possibly 4 By next weekend, not too bad for this early in the season. If what I was overhearing in the lift line is any indication, A-Basin sacrificed a lot of quality in order to be first. I did not see any rocks, and coverage was run wide, not the usual white ribbon of death. By the way, it was windy. I wouldn't want any of the regulers to be disappointed. mario

shouldn't you be studying mr " i cant go this weekend" ??? :p

how much has reallly fallen? loveys report says 5, but they always seem alittle on the lite side, we have had epic powder days after a "trace" has fallen. dig a few for me, mario

lovey on sat though. the white ribbon of death beckons mario

Rode there a few years ago, found it to be a funky and cool little area but the grooming was not that good. Spent most of my time there in softies, and it was suprisingly busy(right before presidents week) mario

While out showing my santa cruz(bike) some love @ apex in golden, the poison ivy was a brillent red, as were the sumacs, the aspens are starting to turn as well as the scrub oak. I heard elk bugleing as I tore thru the enchanted forest, and lovey will be blowing snow by the end of the week. It won't long now mario

One of the few things I don't miss from growing up at the shore mario

I got it, but then again.....

I have had the pleasure of skating with mark on a few occassions. He is a really great guy, and not unlike a crack dealer. He will bring a bunch of completes and lay them out on the grass, and let you ride them for as long as you want, no charge. Nice marketing strategy, and just a little on the evil side. I've been trying to convince Mark and a few of the the other mile high rollers to join me on the dark side. mario

Still serving his time. Should be an interesting one this year. mario
