dredman Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 No victories for Johnasmo, Sqwallguy or myself. We did have a great time though. It was not weather your Mom would want you out playing in the pond but we did not tell them. Johnasmo had a very short skim - heelside edge hook - swimming in round one. He still had a smile on his face after he changed clothes. Sqwall guy had 2 beautiful crossings but in the 3rd round lost his speed and simply sunk. I made it to the final round then had a bobble that cost me some speed to leave me short of placing. So in the end we all went swimming. We are already plotting for next years event....maybe a Coiler Skimmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Dr D. has a good crew to keep him company. Hey, how about meeting us all there in Jan '09? Dr. D, sorry to hear about the back. Stay off the skateboards for a while, I wouldn't want you to miss next seasons triumphant return! Dredman.... Thanks for keeping the "Big Mtn" spirit alive. Great photo's from the pond Skimming!

johnasmo Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Dave, nice work merging the pond skimming pictures. Doing that never even occurred to me. Guess there was a silver lining to swimming in round one and getting back behind my camera. Hmm... Coiler Skimmer? Maybe we can get Shred to design one for us, but is a stubby nose appropriate in the pond? Final snow numbers for Big Mtn: 426 inches of snow at the summit; a new record (and it's their 60th year)! 132 inches settled snow depth at the summit on closing day; most since '91. Lifts may be closed, but there's still top to bottom snow for some time to come. Dozens are hiking it every day. There was one warm week back in February, but other than that, it's only now starting to feel like spring skiing. It snowed Monday, so it's not even corn yet. Happy Hiking/Skinning. Pic is of Great Northern mountain, taken yesterday. P.S. Targhee this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnasmo Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sorry b0ardski, Love Turner, but going down to Grand Targhee tomorrow to ride the final weekend there with dredman and his family. Snowfall at GT is 564 inches so far, with a settled base of 133. They reported 5 last night and it's still snowing, but forecast is for sunny and warm this weekend. Long drive, but should be fabulous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dredman Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 quality is kind of poor but you get the idea.

b0ardski Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 thnx for that dredman, you skiboarders truly represent. luv the post pond rail. the skier finishing on 1 foot kicked a$$ Who won? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 The judging was a little fishy and sporadic. The said no skating but the skiers did anyway and the judges did not DQ them. So they decided that a skier named Eric Wilson was the winner...I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnasmo Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Spring conditions finally made it to Big Mountain today (Saturday April 26). <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdhkJRkjoSw"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdhkJRkjoSw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object> Coverage is still excellent, top to bottom. In other news, 2008 - 2009 season pass price is now $535 through Sept 30th, but it won't be any good for the summer. Now there's a separate $99 summer lift pass.
