b0ardski Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 on Schwietzer friday. The INW posse starts off with a great day in the sun, even though it ended riding by braile. 4 of us trenched up the best cruisers on the mountain witch were plentiful & well buffed. Time to plan the next raid. maybe Silver Mt next?? We'll hit all the local hills by the end of season:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Mike Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Had to work. Woulda been fun to watch 4 carvers trench it up. I'm heading up Sunday and maybe Monday. Anyone gonna be up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Scweitzer was fun! I definitely want to keep gettin togeather.B0ardski,you rock!You and monodude have got to ride someday.Like twin brothers separated at birth. My legs were rubber today so the bunny hill didn't feel like prison as I was happy to teach and not be tempted into further wearing out my knees.Those last few runs in the sleet without our goggles were as fun as any of the runs we took all day.Great vibe with Gus,Toolcan,myself and b0ardski(a great tour guide!)Scweitzer would be well suited to a big carving event.I'll be back to look you up soon.

b0ardski Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 went to the top this morning, total whiteout, serious braile conditions all day. did a few runs on chair 4 but the legs only lasted till noon, too many trenches fri. Tomorrow I'll try to hookup mike & tempt him to the dark side, Buwaawaaawaa:eplus2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Great day riding. b0ardski, steve, and tool can. Great bunch of guys. Schweizer top five in my book. b0ardski and steve thanks for the tips. b0ardski thanks again for showing us around and the pizza. If you make it over to 49 some weekend lunch is on me. After riding all day and really getting some good turns in hardboots, softboots up for sell. Just need to get better binding and Iam set. Hardboots are the ticket.

Idaho Mike Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Big gusts this Sunday, very cold, and he thinks it's 60 percent chance lifts will close. I'm keeping my eye on the weather, as it sucks to drive to Sandpoint from CDA only to find out it's not worth the 120 bucks my wife and I have to shell out.

b0ardski Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Too much snow, not enough money. Even ski free day may be pre-emted by shovelling the roof & drifted in driveway. Will know by this eve. if we can make 49 tomorrow, got another foot on top of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 sorry TC, Gus, got a love-hate thing going with the BIG SNOW Becki works so I'll drive up to schwietzer today (read free), body's aching from tossin the tonnage.

Steve Prokopiw Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Silver has been winded out for two days now.Was all ready to go after my spin class and found out on the cell phone that I didn't need to have brought all my boarding gear.Sh#t! Anyway,it should be a great powder day on the bunnyhill tommorrow!Yeehaw!I took the op to stay home with my boys the last two days. b0ardski,my arms are soooo tired from tossin the tonnage ,I can barely lift my kids.And it snowed another six since yesterday here in Osburn,but not in Kellogg just 8 miles away.I think I will move there.Shoved three feet off every part of the roof yesterday.I am going tto build a superpipe in our front yard if I can just get Silver to let me use the dragon:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 wind made for brutal lift rides yesterday, 3 runs on basin quad & I was ready to home & shovel then they got the escape quad running so I got to the backside, rode snow ghost all day. Lots of fresh windpack tracks in the trees. Today, the shovelling I neglected Fri.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ardski Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Mostly afternoon today, no sun up here snowing when we left. made a couple runs with Russ & some of the lifty crew this pm. some total braile on top. Russ is driving the suburban to INWES, 4-6 of us car pooling; Steve we can confirm 4 if you need us to call in for tickets, we're all stoked to ride with others of our ilk, working on a couple of converts from the crew at Schweetzer. I'll be up on Fri. fo sho. keep posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 today!Well the middle 4 hours.Sun and progressively softer snow on which the 185 felt like a 165 while trenching in it.Met a cool dude named Tim who may break out his 170 Mistral Inca on the 29th.He said he's had the board and hardboots for 17 years and never wanted to get rid of them,(I never got rid of the two I have either)so he might come to the session.b0ardski,how about emailing me through bomber with first and last names of all in your group.I will put a note on the INWES post for others to do that too.My hope is that if we are fairly organized we might get taken more seriously next time around as far as discounts ,demos,schwag etc.So far half the potential participants are pass holders so we might have to settle for 5.00 off,but also consider alternatives like SHELL gas fillups which have vouchers for lift tickets. Toolcan ,you know how and if they work at Silver on the 29th?(Since you're who I found out about that from) Another reason for all to let me know (email me through bomber)is so I can give Wildcat Pizza the heads up on the post party.
