west carven Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 good groomers, but crowded lots of families with little kids. makes it hard to find the spaces to link a few turns. partly sunny day. will go ice fishing on the first of 2008, stay away from the crowds.

Dr D Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have secured three demo boards from Surfrodz for the week. I will also have most of my own quiver available to anyone that wants to give something a try. you will have to mount your own bindings so as to make it your own problem if you break a leg etc. the boards will be available no bindings or boots. their will be the usual legal disclaimer to sign to ride the surfrodz boards. Its looking like lots of snow. Eleven more inches on thursday and 2-3 more today wetter heavier snow that should really firm up the overly soft groomers. There is a strong chance of big powder so I would strongley suggest that everyone bring a powder board or at least an allmtn option. there will be a few demos available but its a good idea to bring your own. the blacktail mtn side trip is currently scrapped due to lack of suficient snow to be worth the trip. that could change and is still an option if the big mtn is fogged in badly. anyone interested in the valhalla cat ski option let me know so I can look into discounts. Tuesday would be the day for that. we need about nine to get the best deal. softie setups are welcome so bring a buddy. the more the merrier. This thread is out of control and hard to tally so everyone that is coming for sure plz email me and let me know what days and how many are coming delaneycarlson@hotmail.com locals let me know as well and spread the word. motorolas will be used if you have them and the channel will be 7 07 unless otherwise posted. more to follow stay tuned as the date gets closer.

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I cant wait it is killing me. I haven't even been out yet this year:angryfire . the weekends are so warm then we get snow then upper 40s or 50s and mash potato's. looks like my first run will be at Big Mountain just like last year. I hope I can remember how to ride. Dr my group of three did buy lift tickets for every day at Big Mountain. Every one can go have fun:eplus2: and I will hold down the fort.

kinpa Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 so, just wondering.... have we hit the record here yet for most replies in a single thread???? Cuban... I kinda feel sorry for you... no days on snow yet??? UGH! How are those legs going to hold up??? For me, it's been lots of days on snow, but not many on the carving stuff because there's been so much powder! I'm wonding how my hip joints are going to survive cause they always get sore after a hard day of carving. I'll be looking for the nearest hot tub!

b0ardski Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 :( sadly, post holiday funds(read too much gear) are too low for a road trip to the bigfish. Wanted to demo a Garage, maybe later in the season I can meet up w/DrD for a day.

carvedog Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well....... I was pretty primed for it, but that whole thing with the asparagus head kind of freaked me out. :D Still trying to work it out. My wife is starting to balk a little and it is her Bday on the 27th. Are you trying to do this for the whole week before or after. I know some of the Cleveland guys are here for the week. Just remind me of the dates and I am still going to try for at least a couple of days. If my wife comes she would be on teles but we don't have it all together yet.

Dr D Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 <TABLE class=gbvrs cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 width=762 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=f10blue vAlign=top align=left width=500 colSpan=2>(10:30 am update: Pretty darn close to champagne for breakfast. We'll call it sparkling wine. My first run was Big Face to Chair 4 line and I wondered, is there enough snow to cover yesterday's tracks? Yes, and it was beautiful. Nice fluff layer on top and then soft all the way through. New snow levels vary (3-5 inches) all over depending on which way the wind blew. Took a run down Big Ravine and watched skiers leaving trails of smoke all the way down. Visibility has gone down at the summit, but clears up by the top of Big Ravine. The sun is poking out in the village. All in all, another sweet day on the Big.) Gracias la nina! That little storm that was supposed to bring us 1-2 inches left us with 8 inches in 24 hours and 5 inches overnight. If you and your skis are trying to leave a permanent mark on the slopes, good luck, because nature is working hard to erase you again with a fresh layer of powder. This mountain is beautifully filled in (165 inches of snow so far) and everything is fair game. The National Weather Service is calling for a chance of more snow today and tomorrow. The best part about all this snow is seeing so many familiar faces over and over again--people who say they normally only ski a few days a year, but now, they...just...can't...stop. It's that good. The groomers are in excellent form again and there's lots of them! See you on Chair 1. The Nordic Center is groomed today (track not set) I'm still waxing on about the latest and greatest thing we have at WMR. SUPERPIPE. The Superpipe is open. This is our earliest opening of the Superpipe and the first Superpipe to open in Montana. You would have to drive 10 hours to find another Superpipe open. The pipe is 18' high, 450' long, and a ripping good time. What's so great about having it open early is that you have more time to work on your pipe skills. Learning the Superpipe is a great activity for all skiers and boarders. Beginners can simply ski through the pipe barely getting one ski onto a wall, and experts can soar high into the sky. No where else on the mountain can you find a single feature suitable for almost any ability level. At the very least, ski on by and check it out! Thanks to Rory and the Events staff who moved tons of snow to make this beauty! We know that some of you love groomers no matter how much new snow there is. Our groomers are running great! List of today's groomed runs. See you out there! Caeli <HR>More new videos coming soon! We're super busy getting deep pow footage!

The snow just doesn't stop, its not going to stop, and frankly I don't want it to stop. The skiing has been so good since we opened. We have received 15 feet of snow this winter. I'm glad to be a part of this winter, that is for sure. It is still snowing in the village and there is more on the way. We have measurable snow in the forecast for the next 4 days. There seems to be another system coming in thursday into thursday night. Powder Powder Powder Powder Powder Powder Powder Powder Powder My bank has forgotten my name, I've got a stack of unopened mail, and my dogs think I have been taken by aliens. Every day it seems like we get new snow. This is why we live in and visit ski towns. In this part of Montana we only get to ski until mid July, so we need to take advantage of every day until then. (The resort is only open until the first week of april) My dogs see me at 4am for breakfast and 5pm for dinner. They get lots of walks and nordic skis at night, but the resort gets my attention during the day. If you haven't got anything to do head on up to the top of the big and make some turns. The groomers are working hard to smooth out all of the new snow. The backside was groomed later so there will be less snow on top. With so many runs groomed every night you can always find fresh corduroy on one side and 3" of new on the other. The front side groomers will have a nice layer of fresh snow on top. Today will be another great day on top of the Big so head on up and do some riding. The Nordic Center was groomed and track set on Monday. Don't miss Frabert at the Bierstube--5:30 pm on Weds.

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Good one Paulk. Leave all your new friends alone at A great carving mountain where all the people treated you like gold took you to all the hidden spots just because the snow looks whiter on the other side of the fence.
