b0ardski Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Great idea, as a po'boy myself something in driving distance from Sandpoint would be great. Checking out other areas w/locals sounds like big fun. I could talk to management at Schwietzer and see if they would do a package deal lots of motels in town if not.

Recon Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm the Lone wolf most of the time In Snowshoe W. Va I see maybe 4 other carvers a yr! & that's going every other weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Bryan, if you activate the website I will put in the info since I started asking about a session at Lookout a couple of weeks ago and already have permission to pursue this.I will just need to provide a written proposal with itinerary, etc and we'll be good to go.I'm thinking early Feb about 10-14 days after the Big Mountain session(which my sis and and I and maybe even my wife plan to attend) but before Presidents weekend.I am open to suggestions for other dates.Earlier than that and we'll have to get moving quickly on organization,which I am willing to do.Inland Northwest people let me know what you think.

inkaholic Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 At Loveland we have a regular crew showing up that consists of DT, Shelly, Big Mario, BPC, Jeff, Bob and myself with others like Bola, Oldacura, Thor, Bluebird, Snowman dropping in on occasion. This of course is when the conditions warrant HB setups. One early season day we had 11 riding HB for a day of fun runs. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Ink, I might have been there for that one,(alot of fun,but painful first day in UPZs)It motivated me to try and organize a session at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paragonUE Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I usually am riding with one nowadays (Dave or Paragon), but usually also spot at least one anonymous carver every time im out. here, here i tell ya, almost everytime, theres one mysterious carver there, and we never seem to catch up with him. some sort of mountain ghost i suppose :D whatever the case, its always wierd to see another hardboot setup when you expect to be the only one riding one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 yeah, dont forget to talk to the mystery riders if you can... they can be very helpful (or you can be helpful if theyre a "lost carver"). I just recently got 30 bomber "this is hardbooting" cards (i thought the transaction didnt go through, but it turns out that was because the cost was $0 so i wound up ordering it 3 times:p ) so i'll be handing those out to would-be carvers left right and sideways. I wrote the ECES dates and location on them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Me +1 *cough* HINT *cough* I know there are at least half a dozen non-racers in the area though. They just feel the need to work and make money to pay the bills for some reason sell out! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you were in the mix on that fun day. I hope that your session goes well and we get to ride together another day. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray_on_tray Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 That was probably John Barker from Hill,NH He was assist director when I was Ski Wee supervisor at King Ridge then he went to Ragged and I went to Sunapee. 2 years later when I switched to hard boots I joined him at Ragged.We taught there for many years toghether. I took one of my first lessons about six years ago from a hardbooter at Ragged. I was scared to death but determined to learn...it was a good lesson. Now my son is a racer and I'm trying to work up to hardboots. If you're out there, whoever you were...thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
