kirtap Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have been thinking about coming for awhile now, with school work holding me back since I will be out of town the following weekend, but I think I just might have to suck it up and come on out. I have never ridden with other alpiners (or with a good board) so I will be looking forward to this. Hopefully I make it out there.

Mario is a heckuva cook, boards that rip will be present and the riders you will meet, ride with, get tips from and become friends with will make you want to come out every weekend. Get your school work done during the week and sunday so that you can attend. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccidentalChef Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm hoping to make it out there myself. If I do, it'll be my sixth day on hard boots, and my sixth day on a board since the '90s. I don't expect to keep up with any of you guys, but it'll be great to finally meet people who wear the correct type of boots :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpalka Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'll bring a PureBoarding TWO demo board if anyone is interested in trying it out -- I have a 164. For me it feels like I'm riding a much longer board, all my other boards are 180+ :) tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be up for the event in which case he will want to help watch the baby. We took turns with him so that the other parent could ride. The tent will be set up close to the lodge from what I hear which makes going in to warm up the little one easier. Hope to see you there, Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks for all of your replys, It seems I missed a few places for discount lift tickets in my original post, so here are a few more: All boards sports aka the Bola Man, safeway , king soopers, sports authority.... or just click here We could use a little help in a few areas: If anyone has a pop up tent/canopy they can lend for the day that would be awesome, we could use a couple of these. paper plates, plasticware, cookies(chocolate chip) lots o sandwich rolls, (preferably onion) and possible time donations( manning the fort, guarding the beer and boards for brief stints while cj and snowman need bathroom or medication breaks) you get the idea. The food/beer/bro/gee I would really like to ride one of your viruses Thor area will be in the first four parking spaces of the first row, less than 75 yards to the lift, and Bola Demo's may be set up on the snow closer to the ticket office PLease post any of the stuff you will be bringing so we don't end up with too much of one thing and not enough of others. thanks for your help, mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Arnold Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I was reading some of the threads in carving community when I came across a link to this thread. Thanks for posting it. I plan on driving to CO next weekend and will try to make it to Loveland on Saturday. I have been carving for several years now but am always looking for a group to carve with and learn from. I appreciate the invitation and look forward to meeting some of you. Hope to see you next Saturday. Thanks again for posting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest woodworkmoney Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Loveland is my home hill.... sort of. I am looking forward to seeing all the people that make up this group of hard core hard booters. I am also in need of help. I thought coming from a back ground of ski racing, I would be able to tear up a carve set up. I was a development team downhiller, and I am skidding an 185 oxygen gs. It turns too hard in the nose and the bindings are too far forward. I will detune the nose, but the side cut is just too steep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
