Kimo Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I remember being at Jackson Hole in '95 with my brand new asym Burton Alp. I didn't know how to set it up or how to ride it, but I eventually found my way to Casper and started making progress. At one point, I rode the chair with a guy who claimed to be a member of the Casper Carvers. I'm guessing you belonged to that group too.

timinor Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 That's nice video. What board are you riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caspercarver Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 your right the board is a rossi shannon m. 173. see photo. i have been carving turns ar jh ski resort since 1989 and if i am lucky i see one or two hardbooters a year. around here hardpack is bad word, but ever since i learned to carve thats all i think about. caspercarver is the nickname i was given by the lifties because i always ride the casper chairlift. "liftline" and "easy does it" are the best groomers on the mountain for carving turns which are served by the casper chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Sub Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I didnt even know they owned groomers at JH :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well Casper that was a fun video for sure. I have a friend that just called me to go to JH. If I do go I would love to do some turns with you. Watching that vid your stance seems a bit narrow, what do you ride at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspercarver Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 let me know if you come to jh. , i work nights so i can go board pretty much whenever. it has been snowing here everyday for the past week so groomers are pretty soft not exactly ideal conditions for carving. my stance is 60 degrees on both feet and width is as narrow as possible. groomers here are fairly steep so speed is never a problem, my favorite board is 160 cm f2 which i can make as many turns as possible between point a and b. i also custom made my bindings, very unconventional i know but very comfortable to stand.

jnshapiro Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 JH has got to be my all time favorite mountain! Haven't been there since '98. We usually stay in the hostel. Is that still there? Been over the pass a few times to Targhee on some truly epic powder days. WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
