Dr D Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 suprise suprise, some twist of fate turned three feet of powder into delightful groomers the next day. the first official alpine day of the season. Bluebird weather and cold. good firm groomers with a touch of fresh on top that was staticy and slow on the flatter runs and hero on the screamers. Great day tons of snow. Even the lift towers are snow ghosts. It is officially mid winter conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 howdy all today my first day of hardbooting of the new year. after the past few days of major dumping pow, last night was clear and no new snow, so i listen to me and not big mtn snow report, which reported 3 inches overnight. anyways, clear blue skies and perfect hero snow. my first day on a race stock fp 173. i just mounted it were i think it should be and it worked out perfect. had a blast, this thing rails a tight arc. the holiday crowds should be leaving on sunday, so should be great next week.

Dr D Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 official mountain snow stats say summit is 4" shy of last year at this time. Base is 10" over last year at this time. 100% for the next several days 5-10 " expected tonight bring a powder board ladies:biggthump I will have hell roaring stock up on extra booze for the OHIOIANS since they'll be hiding in the lodge waiting for Groom:eplus2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Now Dr D That's not quite fare. OK you should advise Hell roaring they need more stock (Shred in the house)but I think hiding in the lodge is not accurate. I was busting powder every day on the madd 170. And my last day of the trip was A rush on the back side in waist deep snow. I'm A groom monster I admit it but I was on the slopes every day. Shred will run the lunch tray every day if need be. A couple shots in honer of the groomer gods and will be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the base we have been needing. snow predicted for the next 3 days and nights 5 inches every day and every nite. we are diving head first into record territory EPIC YEAR:eplus2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well if it doesn't stop snowing I can't make it up there. There is a real outside chance I could make the 24th or 25th for the day. Will check back in a little closer to the time. Is there going to be a couple hard booters in town, or just the Doc pimping all the powder for himself.

Dr D Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 well two of our local carvers made front and center of the front page on the local paper. West carven is pictured in a wicked heelside carve coming down ed's run. The newspaper kindly credits the picture to another local rider by the name of Mario. Any way sweet pic Aaron sp? I will try to get a copy posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Last-Minute and Not-So-Last-Minute Travel Deals Last year, we rolled out the January White sale in this newsletter, and you guys seemed to really dig it. This year, we are offering a similar ski and stay package, but I wasn't satisfied. "We can do better for my readers," I said. "Donnie, you are so full of yourself," they replied. Despite that setback, we have done better. Not only is the January White Sale on and available even through Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Weekend, but we are introducing a new, completely smokin' deal that we like to call the 40/40 deal. The January White Sale Book a two-night lift and lodging package in one of nearly 200 hotel rooms and condos, and we'll throw in a 3rd night of lodging and a 3rd day of skiing for free. Again, this is valid this weekend for MLK, Jr. Day. They didn't want it to be, but I held firm for you. The 40/40 Deal Sunday through Thursday until the end of the season (excluding February 15th - 19th), book at least 4 nights on the mountain in Whitefish and get 40% off lodging and $40 adult lift tickets for everyone you bring with you. Of course, there are additional restrictions that I didn't want to bore you with here for both of these deals. 1. Find all the details on our specials page. 2. Call 877-SKI-FISH to talk to one of our abnormally friendly vacation planners to book your stay now. Tell 'em Donnie sent you. You won't get any additional discount, but they'll let me know and my ego will be stroked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 howdy all today was the best carving groomer day so far. great firm snow that when skied off only light sugar powder, so stayed flat all day and with the light crowds still had corduroy patches in the middle of the runs at 3pm. mostly sunny skies made for a warm day. rode the fp173. you guys should have been here...
