Dr D Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I bailed and went to bigsky for three days. moonlight basin was nice but still prettyrocky. Bigsky was awesome. andesite opened on saturday and I got on the third or fourth chair up the mountain. untouched powder :biggthump Big fish got a dump while I was down there and another last night. 9 inches of fresh this am. Snow ghosts on opening day after being nearly bare a week earlier hell of a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 How many folks are committed to the Big Session. What are the CONFIRMED dates for the sessions. I am working up my schedule and trying to fit everything in. It is kind of a monumental year for the Big Fish. 20th season snowboarding has been allowed there and 60th season for skiing. Maybe the Big Fish should know or be reminded of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 It looks like we have 15-20 so far confirmed depending on the day. not everyone is going to be there the whole week. we have 7 locals and 3-5 wannabe's that will be interested in riding with us and experiencing the alpine vibe. Garage will have some demos available I am trying to get a surfrodz demo to have on hand. Still pursueing a first tracks priviledge etc. Hellroaring apres at least one day. specials being pursued at other venues as well. hell roaring was glad to have us when they found out mellow wouldn't be there bastardizing their drink menu:lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm coming by car, so I can bring a couple of spare boards and spare binders for the wannabes. Fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'll be there on Saturday - Monday (Jan 26,27,28). We (my daughter and I) will be driving up on Friday night. Sharing a room with Allee (thanks, Allee for making the reservations!) I'll see what I can find in my storage shed as far as extra gear, but most of it is either quite outdated or small. Most of my boards are in the 150 range. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 The Fluffy . . . <SMALL>Man, is it snowing. Just look at this succinct and graphical representation of the NOAA forecast for mid-mountain:</SMALL> <SMALL></SMALL> <SMALL>Add that to a 43" packed powder base with 5 new inches in the last 24 hours and 22" in the last 7 days and you have what I like to call really, really, really, really, really good conditions. They're getting better every day. Are you drooling yet? Get up here, silly</SMALL> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Dr D , I looked at the snow report and saw the video .The part with the opening of chair two. Nice to see 3 hard Booters on the first chair. Looks like the Dr had the day off. I also like the song John is singing. Only 35 days till I get on that chair.

C5 Golfer Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Dr D I drive back from Whistler/Blackcomb on Sunday the 27th, assuming I can drive to Big Mountian by Monday -- how many days will most of the group still be there? Wondering If I can fit this mega trip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 ITs a ten hour drive from seattle. the amtrak is a great option as well. january 25- feb 2 is the dates so the bulk of the week would still be available looks like. amtrak is an overnight so you arrive at whitefish at around 7am. it can be done after the workday from seattle even. I think it leaves seattle around 7pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C5 Golfer Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Dr D I'd probably drive-- Amtrak is great I think I told you earlier that years ago I took that and almost got kicked off near Spokane due to too much noise in the "bedroom" - we had a sleeper. :lol: :lol: I will talk to you more about it in middle of January - Gotta get my legs in shape. Just returned from Whistler yesterday and right leg is a bit sore. dunno if it is due to my old age or too much powder riding. Damn I smiled those days up there - rode the 179 4WD Prior.

The sun is shining, the wind is light, and the air is crisp. The snow off piste has set up over night and is skiing well. East rim and the face are sitting in the sunshine and skiing fine. If you like ripping groomers then today may be your dream day. The groomers are fast and smooth and the visibilty is fantastic. Chair 2 area is skiing really good and the views of the flathead valley are worth the trip. The latest word is that Hellroaring Basin will be opening on Sat morning to chair 11. I will update you as soon as I know more definite details. With the chance of the basin opening this weekend we could almost be 100% open before Christmas. Mother Nature has been kind to us this year and will hopefully continue through 2008. :biggthump :biggthump :biggthump </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
