I had my first day on Sunday - also at Meadows.
I didn't expect it to feel so foreign to strap on a board again. I couldn't ride at all for the first two runs: caught the front edge 20 feet into my first run, and on my second run, I hooked up the heelside when I didn't expect to and almost murdered two kids on skis.
My first day was like this: Toeside edge of trail and fall, heelside to trees and fall. repeat, repeat annnnnd repeat for 1.5 hrs. Took brief respite and figured it out. I still fall but not as much.

Doesnt anyone ride during the week?
im probably going to hit breck tommorow or wed
I would love to, but unfortunately work does not always allow it. C'mon dive bomber, I dare, no, I double dog dare you to come out and play with us this sat, you won't have to drive, and you can nap on the way up
It'll be fun

Suddenly there were 7 of us, 4 bol'ers, Dt, Inkaholic, snowboardsfast(welcome back!) and myself, joined by lovey regulars Shelly, Bob, and his son Jeff. Due to a lift malfunction, we found ourselves with a semi private slope, which we proceeded to carve up like thanksgiving turkey. It was a dream come true, nearly perfect groom, sunny blue skies, pleasent temps, and no wind. I included a picture of the carnage left by the aforementioned band of carving hooligans, and another catching three of them in the act(Bottom to top: Inkaholic, D.T., and Snowboardsfast)

Gotta luv rednecks, they can find a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, usually involving excessive horsepower. My previous post was paying homage to hank hill, as in "the boy ain't right" :D

funny, but that just aint right

Doneks tend to be on the stiff side,my '77axxes is a 7, and my '79 fcII is an 8.5 I am 240, and I have not folded the nose on it in 10 days of riding so far.
I think you'd be okay going with the med flex. Mike T is about 190 and has been riding doneks for years, you might want to pm him with any questions.

I have a season pass to loveland and mostly ride the weekends. If the snow is hard I will be out on a race board. If not I will be riding my freeride set up that will trench with most of the carvers that frequent loveland. I hope to see you up there sometime. I also mtb with Evergreen mtn as my back yard. Maybe we can pedal sometime also.
Aloha,
Derek
Hey Derek,
We keep running into pat up there, but I haven't seen you yet. I would like to make some turns with you this season. Pete's in argentina, so the crew has been down a member. I will be up on sunday and I think D.t. and Shelly will be up there to.

Laughter and insane giggling from D.T. and myself after a tele skier hit one of my " tanker trap trenches" and biffed underneath us. Of course I apologized to said skier for leaving such a berm, to which we proceeded to giggle even more.

I have an older 179fcII(03) and a brandy new 177 axxes, and at 240 they are plenty stiff tip to tail and are a blast to ride, the axxes being a little more forgiving than the fc. I can bend the axxes, which is a 7 on seans scale, but it is still stiff enough on soft snow to blow out a carve if you are not paying attention and really drive it. They both hold like crazy, especially if you inadvertantly end up in the back seat :o. My opinion may be biased, but I think it is well worth giving sean a call
Support small vendors!

I would love to hit wolfie with you rdy, but it is just alittle too far for a weekend jaunt., and I am almost out of vacation days.
the weekend??Ugh, Need to get a swallow tail pow board!We get it, you don't like to ride on the weekend. So you are heading to vail on an epic midweek powder day to ride your broken volant (see ride board)on the groom. I am slightly confused. Oh well, enjoy that anyway.

Pat,
I still have the option of hitting lovey if it sucks at copper, its on my way home and i am a pass holder. I have the free ticket from off the grid and this looks like the only time I will have the opportunity to use it. Thanks for the heads up, and I do loath that shuttle

Willy I liked your link to Toms story about Dr scott. My only concern though is every time I ride with him(Dr Scott) I end up taking a spectacular and memorable digger that usually ends my day. I am heading to copper on friday to use up my Warren Miller ticket

A couple of skiers were watching from the lift, and as thier chair passed me one of them said " duuude, props for that laid out turn, that was sweeeeeet!!"
I said "thank you, thankyouverymuch"

On a powder day under 8 at loveland layin' out big ol' lazy gs turns in the deep on my tanker and then hitting the groom at mach 1 and diggin' deep ol' trenches on the same run. One of my favorite ways to spend a saturday.
I started skiing 25 years ago at vernon valley and camelback, and I in no way miss that east coast "packed powder"

Sorry, already booked 4 days at the st moritz for ses. Can't beat the price,49 bucks a night plus tax for a place to crash. :D
