RDY_2_Carve Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Kitchen pass is a go for 3/1. I would stay for 3/2 as well but my brother-in-law is flying in from Tampa that same weekend. My wife was being nice letting me go 3/1 so I'm not complaining. So it'll be myself +1 (best friend who rides softies) for Saturday. I'll bring the 3CCD camcorder for some video and I'll see if my best friend will take on that duty so we all can ride! What's the gameplan for meeting spot, etc? Tom any suggestions? I assume the lifts start at 9am? Pray for firm cord! JPW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpalka Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 John -- it'll be great to see you again! Glad you can make it. As far as the meeting place goes, I think that it might make the most sense to just do a few runs under the Garfield lift. It's the left-most one as looking from the parking lot at the mountain. The runs Romp (or Upper Tango if groomed) leading to Sidewinder with the run-out back to the lift are pretty good for spotting other riders. Lifts open at 9. http://www.skimonarch.com/images/Monarch-trail-map.gif I'll try to hook up with DT and Shelly for riding on Friday, hopefully I can skip work for a few hours in the morning. DT -- I got your email and will reply shortly! tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Janet and I arrive Thursday evening and will also be riding Friday with DT and Shelly. Tom, can't wait to see and ride with you again. As for the Dupraz: I will be bringing a 5'5", a 6' D1 and a 6' D1+. THANKS BOLA for allowing me to bring these down for us to test out. See you all real soon. Powder, powder, powder, powder, powder, powder, powder! Oh yeah, and a little bit of firm cord if I have too.

RDY_2_Carve Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 As of right now it looks like cord on Fri/Sat with powder a possiblity on Sun. Of course this may change as we get closer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcarver Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'll be going for the day on Fri. Will be driving from Montrose so hope to make it there by 9. Depending on conditions will be riding an older Proto, or dark blue Generics or maybe my freeride board with plates. Have only got to ride with 1 carver in my entire life so I'm looking forward to this. Hope to learn alot from you seasoned carvers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpalka Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Anyone have recommendations of restaurants we check out while we are in town? Good listing here: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g33630-Salida_Colorado.html and if you let me know what kind of food you're looking for, I'll be able to tell you more :) Talk to you this evening! tom.

newcarver Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I recommend Amicas Pizza in Salida. Great brick oven fired pizza and micro brewed beer. Try the winter ginger if they have it. There is a little Thai place in Poncha Springs and a great BBQ place there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDY_2_Carve Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Looks like a nice day for carving tomorrow... I hope the snow isn't too soft from these crazy temps! See you guys in the AM over by the Garfield lift. I'll be riding Upper/Lower Tango until we all meet up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcarver Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Really nice weather yesterday. Had a great time riding and watching all of you guys/gals rip up the cord! Ink, thanks for the tips. Will definitly try them out. DT hope your knee isn't too bad:( Enjoyed riding the Dupraz. I think I would have liked it better with some softboots though. Still very fun and adaptable. Hope to ride with you guys again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpalka Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Richard -- was great riding with you, let's hook up at CB sometime! I posted some pics from yesterday here: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=20205 Cheers, tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpalka Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Check out the video and some stills from it on this thread: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?p=187184&posted=1#post187184 Was great riding with you all! Hope we can make it to Loveland before the end of the season and get some more riding in with you. It's snowing in town now, 1.5-2" since morning... so the Dupraz boards would be perfect for tomorrow! tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussed Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hey all - Had a great time riding with you, even if I did sit out many a run with a sore back (40% of sore back translating into: camera shy!). tpalka, you're the best on-mountain host ever - I don't think anyone in the group could guide us around their home mountain with as much clarity and attention to the skill levels of all group members. Thank you very much for your time and effort: if you were on Trip Advisor, I'd give you five radio buttons. See you all at Lovey soon!
