newcarver Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Man, we have a ton of snow in our area and I'm stuck working until Thu. I think we are supposed to still get snow through the week, so I hope there will be something left by the time I get out:D I hope there aren't too many of you that are stuck like I am. Just save some Pow for me PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Believe it or not, you've got it better than I do. I'm at work also, but instead of having epic pow right out the door, it's RAINING!!! All our snow is disappearing fast and I'm getting pissed about it. What a way to ruin winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recon Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well at least you can look at it LOL Warm here on the east coast/ I'm in a t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up! Our day will come!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 same here, recon warm, no pow, and I'm stuck at work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well,I may be struck by lightning for saying this;but I am ready for it to stop snowing for a week or two since it has been snowing here for weeks.I have had some great carving runs but only one or two whole days where I had great visibility or even saw the sun.The base at Lookout is over 100 inches and the powder has been fantastic.How does this fit in with this thread?Well,I went and got myself suspended for arguing with the skischool director so I am not on the hill today.Serves me right I guess. I should add that the arguement had nothing to do with hardboots :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardman73 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 freakin degrees:angryfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 At least 68 is warm enough to golf. Personally I do'nt care about temperature. I like it when it's warm. The only problem is there generally isn't snow around when it's warm... I like snow more than warm weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I like snow more than warm weather. Funny how that works....I used to hate winter time, then I discovered snowboarding. Around here, it has been a Tanker day every time I've went out. I may need a carving board intervention, had no desire to break out my Renntiger!

crucible Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Sorry bro, there are no friends on a powder day. Call in sick, kick off a non-existent relative and take time to "go to their funeral", whatever it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Glynn Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Newcarver, missed you last week. Circumstances got in the way. Went to Steamboat over the weekend. I got back Sunday night to find the road home to Ophir closed by avalanches. It snowed about two feet sat. and another 8 to 10 " Sunday day and another 9"after the lifts closed. Skiing was epic today. Carving is on the back burner till it firms up. Will try to save some pow for you. Gold hill was still closed today unless they opened it for a little while late in the day. It should be epic again tomorrow if they open goldie. The Ophir road is still closed; walk or ski in and out only. They may bomb tomorrow, it could be quite a show if they do. Galen do you do a lot of biking in the summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcarver Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 David, sorry to hear that the road is closed. My son and I got to ride last Wed. Nice warm weather, but very crowded. I will definitely be out Thur. I'm hoping that this next system will dump some new stuff on Wed. Would like to try my alpine stuff out more, but will probably ride my 3800 with all the new snow. I might try and go to Crested Butte on Sun and ride my carver on some groomers. I imagine that they would have firmer conditions with their colder temps? Anybody know how the terrain is off the Gold Link lift? I see that its all blues. Was wondering if this is a good carving area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
