Just arrived at whitefish, here until next friday(Jan 11). Brought my soft setup as well as my 4wd 174 (which hasn't been ridden in 2 years for a multitude of reasons). Hope to get it out this week, assuming I can locate a 5mm hex wrench which seems to have disappeared from my boot bag in transit :(. Anyone around? Mike

Trying to plan an early season trip with a little time off, any places to target or avoid with the early season conditions?

2 Burton FP 159 Asyms? It this for real? Haven't been on in quite awhile so probably already discussed but too good to pass up. http://search.the-house.com/?keywords=FP

Mike and Skully great meeting with both of you and thank you for all the pointers. I really enjoyed riding with some people who knew the mountain! Martin Sorry I didn't see you again on the slopes but good to run into a fellow great plainer. Maybe we can meet up sometime if we get some more snow. Mike

Tried to send both of you email but forum says you have prefs set against it. I fly out tonight with the parents and sister, will be riding tomorrow, sat, and at least half of sun. Would love for some people to ride with as I am sure the family will tire out long before I do, as well as to get some pointers. I am staying about 2 miles from Canyons. Red and grey jacket, white helmet, blue prior. Drop me an email through my profile and I'll get you guys a phone number. Thanks Mike

Mike I'm staying about 2 miles away at the best western, would love to ride this weekend. Mike

I am heading out to Park City with the parents and would love to ride if anyone is around. I'm bringing my hard and soft boot set up. I'm not great at carving yet and would love to do some riding if anyone is around. I will have a car so I can move around some. Thanks Mike

extremely sad he was a semi new hire at my company..... we got an email this morning.

Correct, hopefully conditions are a little better this time around, it was looking great until this past weekend. I don't have much of a plan of where I will be yet besides staying in Rangeley, so I can probably try to meet up on Sunday. Mike

Mine is definitely not a spur, I've had it for at least 10 years and have had my share of athletic trainers poking at it, its really just a muscle. I have also only had hard boots for about 3 years, but you are right I really do need to get some custom liners, but with a combined riding of about 2 weeks a year I've been dragging my feet

I've got those bumps too and when I used to run track the trainers would freak out every time they saw me for the first time, thinking i had something wrong, then id show them the other foot and they'd be like oh well as long as both feet have them i guess. I've never seen anyone else with them, glad I'm not alone. Never bothered me except when i wear hard boots.

After a one year hiatus, I'm going to try going back out to ME, seems like you guys are actually getting some snow. I'll probably be floating around between sunday river, saddle back and the loaf. I know its still holiday season but my free lodging heads back to chicago with me on the 5th. Anyone going to be around?

Thanks for the reply, a change of plans after 6 years of boarding with friends and by myself the parents decided they want to come a long so I will be out there Jan 29-Feb 1. Would love to stay at solitude or Snowbird, but looks like Park City might have more for them, ie beginner stuff, snowshoeing, xc skiing, and best chance for meeting up with some carvers. Very open for suggestions, their only requests was a hot tub at the hotel and a run they wont fall off of. Will have a car so i can move around some if need be. Thanks Mike

Southwest has some great deals going on right now to Salt Lake, and i have some vacation days to use up. anyone going to be around? Any recommendations on which resorts? Thanks Mike

I thought I was going to be able to make SES for a few days but the week it falls on is a bad week for work so no one can take off. and as for the 19th I dont think ill be out there quite that quick, last min MLK day tickets are rough. Thanks for the invites though Mike
