Shred Gruumer Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well it was a long plane ride for many, but we finally made It..! The Medina County Carving Session! is a go! and Day one was spectacular!! Morning Session Included a Group Photo of the Carving Gang.. getting ready to hit the Summit of Dover Highlands... More to come as the forcast calls for 50 mile winds out of the West and should hit a comfortable -20 wind chill... should be good hard pack tommorow..

Shred Gruumer Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 It was a bit gusty today.. and the climb up Hus Circle Pass was a treacherous! We are almost at the Summit!! Clouds starting in! and visibility was getting low.. But we pressed on! Right Said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Shred, do you even have your snowboard boots on for the pictures? I think someone has got some serious withdrawl.... poor guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Kinpa The climb was Icy and steep so I had to use my Asolo moutaineering boots.. but the F2 proflex clamped on tight.. See the next photo on the Steep ascent. The High winds picked up.. and getting past the steep ledges was rough, but the, Ohio Mountain Pines were impressive and majestic to look at during the climb.. Getting tired.. Right said Shred.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred Gruumer Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Did not need wax this morning!! Very chaulk and hard.. lead to some fast runs!! The Hot Blast held very well after we tune our edges..we went to a 3 degree bottom and a 9 side... Made things a bit easier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin A. Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Be careful man. You go down out there in the wilderness and the people at the summit building might not be able to reach you fast enough. Nature is harshly uncaring to who she smites on her slopes. Exercise caution on those steeps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred Gruumer Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 We got a special treat after dinner tonight. The Mountain opened up upper Summit Run for some night skiing.. Runs were awesome.. Crowds were put off by the sub zero cold.. but it felt like it warmed up at night? Maybe thats the Canadian Rye ! Groom was still in tact! Took a couple of speed runs, hell no crowds why not!! Right Said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 MCCS had some local company! Lift Operator Marilyn Cambers from Big Mountain showed.. Shes a hoot.. It was a bit cold for her for the evening speed runs.. Told a few times to slow down.. but heck we can't see any slow signs..:p Right Said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
