I didn't personally know him or actually even knew of him, but its true. When you do what they did, they put many more people at risk than they had to...

please be careful. This kid was from my high school. apparently he was foolishly skiing alone. I don't know why anyone would do that. What a tragedy.

this was the only semester i could've possibly have done it. I had classes 2 times a week, and they're all easy, so i wouldnt have missed too much. Well except during SES i had 2 or 3 exams but i couldve gotten a doctors note or something. DrD?:rolleyes:

wish i could. I'm planning for it for next spring break. Its nice how my spring break doesn't line up with any other major ones so plane tickets would be slightly cheaper. I figured I should get better in the next 20 or so days so i'd be able to enjoy the mountains out there a little more. Big mtn is my #1 on my list since its not crowded and seems to be much much cheaper than aspen. Wouldn't be able to make SES until i'm out of school (4 more years) because it would never line up with any of my breaks and skipping a week of classes next year or any year after is just suicide

LOL! :lol: thanks guys. I can;t wait to be able to get my hip all the way down on heelside. Also, i'm occassionally making the board pop out of each carve where i sometimes get airborn. My spring break is next week so i have 9 days of straight out riding ahead of me. Gas money is a bitch though but i've saved plenty of loot to not have to work for a whole month. In march, i am working a total of 3 days. That combined with my schedule of having classes 2 days a week, i think i will definitly make the best of this season. my goal is 40 days. i'm at 18 now. And with tuckerman's ravine having rideable snow till late april, i think i'll be able to push 50. Just one more day of classes and I'm off to NH! Damn i'm psyced!

sorry to resurrect an older thread, but the conshox makes a huge difference. I tried my F2 without it and then later with it. It feels like a completly different board. Get one if you can!

Today is one of those days that I will always remember. I foolishly hosted a kegger last night and I was going on like 4 hours of sleep as I got to Waterville Valley. The snow wasn't anything special at first (a little hard for my dull Madd) but all of the sudden, the sun hit the slopes and it was perfect. I ran into a another carver who was on a similar level as me (he was definitly a little better) and we just rode all day. We ran into a guy by the name of Jeff (15 years of carving experience) who freakin RIPS!!! He gave us a few pointers, i cranked my angles from like 40ish to around 60 and we took off. After the snow got all choppy, i got out my silberpfeil with the conshox. during my 2nd run on it, i felt something hit my rear knee. It turns out my knee was actually dragging in the snow/ice, which for me is a huge leap in progress. By the end of the day I was able to touch my elbow to the slope pretty comfortably on toeside. Pretty much, everything that everyone i've carved with has told me regarding technique, came together today. I still got ways to go on heelside. I just wanted to say thanks to all those guys. they know who they are.

whats going on griff? Best of luck to your daughter. It looks like i wont be able to make this wednesday because I'm letting my friend use my car to go to waterville while i'm at work. but next one for sure since i'm on break and took off work

welcome to bomber!

damn, someone got a killer deal.

so far, a sweet price. I don't know much about these boards except that dan yoja sells them at his site.

last year, i bought my pass for this season right in time for my spring break in the first week of march. They give you the rest of the season free and its like $270 or something. A bit pricey but worth it if u make it there 15+ days a year. Good deal but I don't know if i'll have time to go enough next year so I wont be renewing it. edit: thats only with the silver pass.

Glad to see you finally made it on the site. I'm gonna put him on my oxygen supercross. It has a pretty good edge and is one of the most fun boards I own. Its not as stable as my Madd but you'll have a blast. Plus you can hit the jumps with it with ease. Waterville monday?

I hope to get a 158 or 170 alp for next season. Steve Fleck gave me my very first alpine lesson and he is associated with Madd. He's crazy and you could find info about him on madd's site. Hope tonight was good because I was (and still should be) studying for 3 tests on thursday.

there is your first (and possibly only) problem right there:p

ive been busy and just noticed this. Yeah, it was nice seeing you guys out there a few weeks back. I'm making it next wednesday (first one in march) for sure. What type of madd are you riding JGU? I can't wait till we get like 10+ people out there at night and tear ralphs up! I still can't believe they yelled at me for carving at 10 mph while my friend who is on skis for the 3rd-4th time is going faster. They'll probably will yell at me for attempting to carve backwards. Good ol' wawa. Mr. Slowskie, you'd be fine, i'm in my second season too so it's all good. see ya guys out there.

i was so pissed that i missed last weekend. I had to work :-\

i remember this from a few years ago. All i heard everywhere i went was "ho-kay" "fires our sh*t!" along with "but i'm le tired" and "AAAHHHHHHHH MOTHERLAND!!!!!" I still love it though. Good stuff.

creeepyyy...:-P

snowblades....the razor scooter of the mountain I do have a pair of salomon 100cm ones i bought 2-3 years back on ebay. They're alot of fun but are too easy. They pretty much kept me off of skis for a whole year but they aren't nearly stable enough at higher speeds. I use them to teach my friends how to ski now. Works wonders.

next step is catching a fly with chop sticks

way to go. I remember the day that happend to me. It was raining out and I've had the best day of riding up to that point. Keep on diggin'

wow thats a long trip but something I'd still be interested in looking into. Thanks for the thought. waterville valley on monday:

sorry guys, not avaliable anymore.

i tried crayoning my ch4 wax and its impossible to do it. It just doesn't spread when i start using the wax wizard.
