[Best carving run in Summit County?]

No kidding? My wife just loves Buttermilk and I did it too. I'll keep my eyes open for 08!

You just need to be able to show up at one of the places that they are selling the classic pass at and get your picture taken. This usually happens in oct. or nov., and from that point on you can renew on line

[Best carving run in Summit County?]

Been there a few times, lots of great carving, and as you get tired, head over to arrowhead for some slightly mellower runs

[Boulder area tuning]

Edge Works at 10th and Broadway in denver did 2 sweet tunes on my doneks right before ses, I am really happy with the job Matt did and would not hesitate to send any one their way. The also had a quick 2 day turn around.

In the interest of full disclosure, he did give me 2 tunes for the price of one, but that does not effect my opinion on the quality and service I got from them

[love feb24-25 Steamboat26 Winter Park27]

but because of this crud I am either sitting here posting or wandering around the house bouncing off of the walls

I am not very fond of being under the weather

[standing up]

moi??? , nevvver

+ another for toeside. I can get up heelside despite my girth, but why waste the energy? I tried yoga for a bit, but it made me a little edgy, surly, and quite possibly evil

[Hit by a ski instructor]

Had a similar incident with an instructor about a month ago. Our paths were convergeing, so I turned uphill to duck behind him at the same time he turned downhill to duck behind me... and BLAMMO!! glad I was wearing a helmet, for I dove for the snow and whacked my hugh mellon on his knee. No damage to either party, but kind of ironic since we were both trying to avoid each other.

[2007 SES wrap-up: Thanks to all who came!]

Thanks to fin, michelle, tille, rusty and luke. what a blast last week was, and to all of the people i pasted in sean's clinic, i was in complete control at all times and the pasting was meant as payback for an earlier incident committed by dustin. i apologize for any collateral damage.

[Mini-Session at Loveland on Sunday]

too bad about pat, I love to watch him rip in softies. I may be a bit of a wimp, but sat is looking a little extreme, even for a lovey regular: very nasty weather :( Sunday is looking a little better

[Colorado Conditions]

Loveland yesterday was a bit on the firm side, but would probably qualify as hero snow to an icecoaster. I had to adjust a little, but definately fine carving. Forecast for the rest of the week is for really cold temps at the higher elevations with a chance of snow all week.

[came out of my td1's today]

The heel pads that came with my suzukas were very soft, and my foot would wiggle around a bit when just standing around even after making my bindings super tight. I changed out the stock pads for the bomber urethane and have not had that problem since. It was a very comforting investment.

[Kinda wierd, but do you like where you live?]

Left south jersey in '91 under the cover of darkness and never looked back. Been in heaven ever since.
