Thor VonRippington Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I don't know BM... the last report I heard was "several" runs open at Loveland and we had quite a bit of snow in the last 24hrs. I'm not expecting much tomorrow but I do NEED to blow out the summer cob webs. Keep an eye out for Lovey tix this year. I wont have a pass but would love to ride with you and your posse this year.

Thor VonRippington Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I live somewhere around 9,000ft and got 2-3 inches. A more accurate measure might be someone in Summit County.

D.T. Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 DT... Do I sense a hint of jealousy? ABSOFRICKINLOUTELY! I responded to the e-mail you sent last night. Very interested! Does that mean you are selling/have sold the yellow Coiler (model??) you were riding at SES? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Got your email... just let me know... and of course Bruce needs to be in agreement too. I plan to keep the yellow coiler for now... I had way too much fun on it last year to let it go at this point. But you know drill DT... my quiver is still very much alive... it inhales and exhales. Courious... why do you inquire abuout the yellow... for Shel perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Courious... why do you inquire abuout the yellow... for Shel perhaps?Heck no, I was thinking about me! :D What is that board anyway? PRSL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yep... PRSL 165 with all the bells and whistles... "Built for Jasey Jay" was in the ad... yeah right. Did you ride it? I heard a few who did ride it ordered the identical over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 No, I did not ride it, just drooled over/on it. Shelly will call you tomorrow regarding your spot on the list and I will call Bola regarding a spot he has. edit: she is calling you now, but you are not answering, you call screener you.

big mario Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 shouldn't you be studying mr " i cant go this weekend" ??? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 So that's who was calling! I don't like to answer the phone... usually means I have to go do someting that I would rather not do. I was at ABS on Monday... what are you looking at there? Better not be the one I am looking at!

D.T. Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 shouldn't you be studying mr " i cant go this weekend" ??? :p Hey! If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you! :D And the answer is yes I have to be a good boy; therefore, no play for me this weekend. Better not be the one I am looking at!I guess that depends on which false appendage you were looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I think its... "If I want your opinion I'll BEAT it out of you". But something tells me Mario could take the scientist. Mark and I are headed out for a few runs... I'll give you guys the full report later.

Thor VonRippington Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 One lift... one run... longish line. The crowd wasn't impossible but I wouldn't go near that place on a weekend until a lot more terrain opens. Hit a few rocks but the snow was nice and grippy. All in all... a fun day. It felt great to be on a board again and I can't wait to do it again. I grabbed a 4 pack for Loveland. Keep me posted when things get good there. Shel... sorry I didn't call. I didn't have cell service most of the day and other lame excuses. I'll contact Bruce and let you know what he says. The spot is all yours if he gives the thumbs up.

kirtap Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I went to A basin on Saturday and Sunday from about 2-4. Lines were long for the first hour, but it cleared out a little. We got about 6 or 7 runs in. There was enough snow to cover the runs but not anything else. The snow was pretty soft and most of the hill got pretty bumpy. It was just nice to be out carving again. This was the earliest I've ever been boarding. My old home, MN, won't open up for over another month I'd guess. I'm going to school in Boulder and hope to make it out most weekends. What are your favorite mountains for caving out of the Colorado Pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 What are your favorite mountains for caving out of the Colorado Pass?Once the snow gets good, there is a group of us at Loveland both days, every weekend. Either ping us here or just show up and keep your eyes open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirtap Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 The only problem with that is I am a poor college student. I bought the Five Mountain Pass and I think that is all I will be able to buy. Basically everyone at CU buys that pass, so all of my rides will be to one of those mountains, although Loveland wouldn't really be out of the way. Anyone have a cheap way to get the Loveland pass?
