  1. Quick one today, I was just looking to get a few turns in and regain some confidence from my wide world of sports agony of defeat crash at mcc.  Mission accomplished. Ink, Lance, Katie and I ended up parked next to one another in the race lot, we lapped a few on 3 before the growing crowds, cold winds, blowing snow and flat light made inky and I call it early.  It was worth it, I'm feeling like I know how to ride again. With spring break looming, I hope we get a quiet Sunday or two before the invasion.

  2. Holds like crazy, rides like a short board. Fun as all hell. Been my go to all season, it’s magic.  I’ve only have one day on another board, and that’s my sf. I just gifted one of my doneks, my donek secret is collecting dust, as is my virus

    I think I have a shirt that says that

    Before management decided to be all safety conscious and $hit and shut things down when things got a wee bit bracing, we would ride in wind chills of -25f and greater. I was never accused of being a smart man...

  4. I think that might have been one of mine.  I have taken myself out as well as a few of my teammates in the past.

    upon further review of the full clip, it was in fact my trench that got that poor unsuspecting skier. I like how she drops in, hooks up, and totally takes off in a totally unintended direction before she biffs

    Meh, they're ok.  Did they show you the secret handshake? Make you an "official" member of the LCI? It USED to be an exclusive group, now they let just about everyone in...🙄

    Meh, I just have an affinity for east coasters...

    After reading some posts on the Half a Run thread I’ve realized that I might have a problem with my ruts. They are too big, like, embarrassingly large ruts.  High G turns really get me going so I try to put as much umph into each turn as I can do I always end up displacing tons of snow and bleeding speed. On top of that, my humongous ruts are a nuisance to the public and scar up the hill. 
     

    I tried super stiff boards but I can still taco those boards like it’s Tuesday. Any suggestions? Long side cuts? Race shapes?  Help a brother and his big ruts out!

    You and I should start a club.  As you know, I have the same issue

  7. Flat light, firm, funky, and fun!

    We are definitely deep in the heart of the season, crazy traffic stupid early, loads of beginner's, first time out for the season, and a few freaks sking in jeans. Thank Goodness many of those Johnny come lately's have to rent equipment, and the rental shop is horribly inefficient, giving us a few hours of relatively kook free carving.  Of all the runs we hit, Roulette was by far the best, though the onslaught of Harry and Harriet Holiday tended to put a damper on things after 10.  Such is the plight of a weekend warrior, c'est la vie...

    Another good, solid, complement of riders out today, regulars Sandy, Inky, Ice, and myself were joined by D.T. Ms. Shelly, Justin the FNG, and his Honey, Lisa. As always, everyone was killing it. Lift hoots and call outs were given out freely by the masses watching from above as we all slayed the terrain under 6, a little bit of ego stroking is always nice.

    Sandy, that was awesome of you to give out your retirement coins to those of us that will not be able to make your retirement ceremony, I am deeply honored, thank you!
