Dave ESPI Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 ugh.. Hope your mountain held snow better than Jiminy...... Was like a hockey rink in the middle of many trails, but was still some nice parts on a few trails. THis cold snap freeze is either going to be GREAT, or will suck HUGE. Lets hope the snow drains the water off before the big freeze...... or else I'll just be doing this with my head and knees on the ice: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ESPI Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Ding, I donno about BEast, but Jiminy just made some bitchen' snow, and the groomer team lastnight did a stellar job making the memories of boiler plate and rain fade from many minds very fast! Was out ripping it with Paragon all day today. Trying to get him to come sunday also. Jiminy is a 34.00 E-coupon day Sunday and 21.00 on Monday (the 25th) incase people can't make it to the Thundermeet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hmmm... May have to come out to Jimminy Monday. With the snow we've got coming tomorrow, Sunday should be Good at the Beast. How do you get the coupon for Mon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 www.jiminypeak.com and look for the e-coupon deal. http://www.jiminypeak.com/promotions/ecoupons.php BILL was at Jiminy today, saddly I was on the carver early in the AM and he caught me at "break"(egg sandwich and warm beverage time after ripping early runs) and I saw him later in the day. *He had a collision with a skier about 2 weeks ago, and it rang his bell something fierce... I plan to ride with him tomorrow Again. I'll Try to get him to come out Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingbat Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Dave? If it's half as good as it was today, it's worth missing the $200. Tell them you caught a slight case of mad cow or something and need to take the day off to recuperate.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Final list: Mark Bennett Willy Whit Dave "Espi" Sheedy Colin Matt Roth (50/50 chance...) Dave Howland (though Matt and Espi have b****ed-out with some riddiculous stories about a birthday party and having to work or some such b.s.:rolleyes:) I will try to check for late additions in the morning but probably wont have time. If for whatever reason someone does decide to come last minute, just find us up there and I will get you the discounted pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ESPI Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 LOL.... let me put it like this......... LANDLORD -RENT ME 200.00 is a fair chunk of coin. If I wasn't garnteed it, Ida called off in a heartbeat. Tips and lessons have been crap this year. Economy sux ! I just got done doing my final exam for an Ethics course ......... railing out on the carver first thing tomorrow will be sweet justice :) Wish I was with ya all, but I'll be keeping company with BillB. We will see about filming if we get a chance. Cheers, D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ESPI Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I got 2 runs in this morning before it was opened to the public. Laid out hard on the toe just as the 360 opens out into the 180 trail under the Berkshire express, and then went to a stiffy heelside. amd turned it up hill and came to a stop. I turned to look at the chairlift, and I swear there was like 60 people looking at me .. LOL. AWESOME HERO GROOM ! Glad you guys had a similar sexperience today aswell at B.E. ! I got a fat tip and 2 private request, so allsaid and done I made 180.00 in tips, so I was a happy camper today. I did get drilled HARD by a sker though in a lesson around 10:00 am and he yardsaled as he hit me and left his skies wher they lie in the snow and moved me about 6 feet down hill. I turned and asked "? WTF WAS THAT ?" He replied " You stopped". DAUUUHHH !!!!!! its what people do when they reach the side of a trail edge and are facing their board into the woods after a turn! I was out with BillB for a run int eh morning and he had a similar collision a few weeks ago.... I swear he passed me the curse ! I ended up gettign clipped 3 times today by people, and the day ended with a retard with skies on his shoulter turnig around as he was walking and clocking me inthe head witht ehm ! Good thing I still had my brain bucket on, or else I'd now have a nice lump on the side of my head. All day today I was out and about and teaching and riding (with my bud Kris) and kept thinking of Rick Moranis in Spaceballs the Movie saying " *******S... I"M SURROUNDED BY *******S !" I got off the hill. Just not anything more enjoyable than a nice deserted hill and perfect groom first thing. Atleast I got that in :) I'm staying home tomorrow, my back is sore, so I think going 12 day straight will be a very bad idea. My legs are like rubber.

scrapster Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey Dave, I hear ya'. I did Saturday family night at B-East with two youngsters (6 and 9 yrs old). Its the first time I've ridden with them and I swear, I had my elbows out and my fists clentched ready to knock down the first out-of-control maniac who came close to hitting them...and there were many. I felt like a hockey goalie! It was actually pretty stressful. I guess no one taught these folks proper etiquette when they started skiing/riding. My dad did one thing right. But that fantastic snow made it all worth it!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, that was heavenly. I guess we just have to share it with the idiots. By the way, who's parking that black and green Renntiger outside the main doors of B-East? I've seen it my last two trips up. Strangely--its been riderless most of the time. Hmmm....
