Chubz Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Folks Looking to gather for an expression session again this year at Blue Mtn. Seeing what is best for those of you that think you can make it. We dont do any events or anything like that that, we just get together, to chat and ride. Previous years have been on Fridays and we hope to do it on a Friday again just to try and avoid weekend crowds. I'm throwing out dates of March 9 or 16. No holidays noted on calendar. Post here to let us know what you think. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 9th or 16th are good for me. I would even be up for any other weekday. I checked and there are no school holidays until the 23rd, an in service day. What do you mean no contests? What about a circle carve contest on Razor? That would add a little element of danger :rolleyes: Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 March 9th it is...... see you on the slopes. Jesse :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I will try and ride Thursday. If conditions are sketchy. I will update. Hope we get some folks out there. I will bring my blank MADD 170 if anyone wants to try it. It's up for sale. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 there is a certain Pogo I keep hearing about that sure sounds fun. Looks like winter has decided to stick around a little longer. Time to get out on the snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Below freezing temps all week, natural snow today (3-4"), snow making back into effect..... Friday should be 8:15am Valley (lower) Lodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 The POGO will be available to you, as the Blitz showed up yesterday so the OD will be avaiable. Let me know what you wanna do. From what Scott described, this thing is a bigger gun than my Riot, so I wont be making any micro carves, it seems Razor will be the order for the morning. I hope they do atleast a half a$$ job on grooming. I should be out Thursday morning for a test run to get it dialed in. Let me know if you just want me to bring a blank OD or if you want to stop over Thrusday night. I gotta watch the boys. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Blank OD will be fine. I have to open the Coiler up for a few runs first thing. Have fun tomorrow and save some of your legs for Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Anyone else plan on attending? It seems the numbers get less and less each year. now we are down to two. Blank OD it is. See you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've been working on switching some work around to attend. Seems to me friday should work out to be a Schweet Day! I'll check back in tomorrow to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Razor was sick and should be Friday. HERO snow all the way BLITZ is a disgusting ride. Took one run to get its habits figured out, but that thing is the best board I have ridden yet. Gotta run, but I hope some folks can make it out.

Chubz Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Unbelievable day. Best day this year. Had fun riding with you guys. A bit stiff in the neck today, but all in all still reeling from the great day yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Glad to hear after getting hit by a bear all you got is a stiff neck. Ditto here! Great day! Its much more of a pump when I ride with other carvers. Thanks Chubz, for puttin it together. I may try to squeeze one more Blue day in.

JBS Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I had a blast guys. Great turns made by all and the conditions were A+. Must do it again.... Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 You guys got any pics to post? I have 1 of Jesse, but not a good one. I have Saturday and Sunday open. I'd do a morning, until it gets crowded, if you guys are up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 On my way out the door to see a customer. Be back later this afternoon. I will post then. Sunday is usually a safer day for me. Friday night is typically beers night for me, but I am up for either. Rode Monday, be thankful we went Friday. Loose death cookies that was tight in some areas then hit loose pockets of the cookies. Not so hot. After Friday O dont thinkit will get much better. Rain expected for Wed an dThursday and then freezing again so it should be some pure east coast boiler plate. You are welcome to try out that MADD 170 I have Joe. Remind me to tell you the story from monday A$$holes in every crowd. LAter Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'll be up Saturday and Sunday this weekend. So if you want to ride, just show up. Be prepared for glazed cord first thing in the morning... good practice. Greg... you better show up or the OD is finding its way on the hill one way or the other.

cafercr35 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Looks like they are talking some nice white fluffy stuff for friday. Is anyones able to ride Friday. I could prolly pull the pin. Not really sure when it's supposed to start.Saturday may be the better day. Let's hear your thoughts. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'll be out Saturday and Sunday for sure.... Season is winding down and I need to get out as much as possible.. Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Guys I was out Wednesday night from 8-9:30 pm. Oddest conditions I have seen in 20+ years of riding. I figured get some runs in before the rain gets here in mashed taters. Get there, maybe 20 ppl on the whole mountain. Head to razor off the lift and solid ice from lift to top of razor. It was odd, almost as if the melting snow was bubbling to the top of the snow and then it would freeze. Top of razor was half frozen and half corn. And I am talking fast fast fast. Fast to the point of scaring me going down the hill and throw in the sketchiness of the half ice, small bumps and corn, I was literally scared with a lump in my throat. Quit riding razor and rode paradise, it was even fast to the point of being scary too. If that stays the same with a dusting of snow on Friday, it will be super odd conditions. Who knows it may turn to hero for some odd reason. If you wanna stick with weekend, I can head up Friday to litmus test it. Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Let's watch the storm and stay in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I don't know for sure, but I think Blue will receive at least a good 6"+ from this storm. It's starting to stick earlier than expected and from 2pm to 8pm it should be snowing 1-2" per hour. It should be either Pocono (heavy) pow or soft groom tomorrow. The quiver is set for whatever comes up... I'll be out Saturday and Sunday. No reason to stay in bed this weekend. Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Either way, I will be on the OSIN to start. Leave early and take your time getting there. Nevermind, I didnt read the thread right. The storm will be over by 8 thus everything will be tracked out before closing. Maybe get out the Riot . Should be interesting.
