tex1230 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 than a long weekend in 100 degree weather...oh, yeah, and 100% humidity... I knew there was a reason I left Texas... That is what happens when you let your mother and your wife talk to each other and plan your "vacation" anyone got a spare ticket to Las Lenas? I will not survive this summer! (oh, and you mammoth guys...just don't start with the "we're still riding for another month" crap... I have no chance of getting to that end of the country in the forseeable future) What I really need is a little of this: Quote

dantheman0177 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 I'm off to Falls in one month from today. Don't jinx me. THERE WILL BE SNOW!!! Quote
Baka Dasai Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 And I'm off to Thredbo for the week beginning August 28. Looking promising! Quote
dantheman0177 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Any word from Mozz on the Oz Expression Session? I did promise to visit and ride with him this season, so would love to tie that in with some other carvers being there too. Quote
tcross.au Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 at least there is a dusting at thredbo, look at buller, atleast 1 good thing comes from a late start, the air cools the ground so you dont need as much snow to create a platform for the rest of the season Quote
freecarver Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 than a long weekend in 100 degree weather...oh, yeah, and 100% humidity... I will not survive this summer! Feeling the same I can't wait for my local resort reopening....!!! Quote

That is what happens when you let your mother and your wife talk to each other and plan your "vacation" Where were you? It was actually pretty rainy here in Helltown....all other sites in TX, other than the valley don't approach the 100% humidity mark.... Quote

Jon Dahl Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 This is from today Tim Heinel, testing out a new titinal Virus. Oh, that hurts! It's raining here today, and my choices are a wet trip to Whistler, or a wet backcountry trip into the mountains. Quote
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 And I'm off to Thredbo for the week beginning August 28.Looking promising! Dude, that looks SAD :( Hope it dumps for you guys soon!! Where is the photo of Tim at? Quote
philfell Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Here is one from today. Here newly named U.S. Snowoard Team member, Lindsay Lloyd, rips a toe side turn at Copper Mt. Colorado. We have tomorrow off, but there are more to come if you'd like. Quote
tcross.au Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Dude, that looks SAD :( Hope it dumps for you guys soon!! you think thats sad, atleast they have natural snow, go about 200km south and look we have ski run almost Quote
dantheman0177 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Geez Bryan, you are tough on us Aussies. We look at that, look at the date and think "Awesome". Quote
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Geez Bryan, you are tough on us Aussies. We look at that, look at the date and think "Awesome". Sorry Dan, didn't mean to "Pop" the stoke. My mistake, I was thinking it was getting late for your traditional start? Obvious I am overdue for a trip "Down Under". I had some of my best days ever in NZ. Good on ya! Hope you have a excellent season!!

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 you think thats sad, atleast they have natural snow, go about 200km south and look we have ski run almost You guys are going to have to explain this one? Is the run crossing a two lane city street? Traffic? Is that a 6 story building at the top? Talk about "Slope_Side" parking!! Very cool!! Fill us Yanks in here Quote
Baka Dasai Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 "10 June Official Opening of the 2006 Winter Season. Kick off the Snow Season with Thredbo's traditional opening weekend festivities including a buskers and street performers competition" You don't have to read too far between the lines to see that they provide a bunch of "festivities" like buskers and street performers to make up for the likely lack of snow. Sigh. And what's this Extreme Carver doing in the gates? :) Do people regularly ride that laid-out during a race? If so those triangular gates/flags must get in the way. Quote
philfell Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make the turn. That amount of edge angle is standard for racing though. The panels sometimes do get in the way, that's why they are designed to come off the stubbie side. Quote
Allee Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 I see the NZ season is due to get underway this weekend. Mt Hutt expects to open with a base of about 30cm - break out the powder gun! Apparently their marketing manager expects it to be "the best opening in the six years that I've been here". I knew I moved to Canada for a reason. :) Although, as Nancy Greene says, you only need six inches to ride on ... Quote
