Scuff Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Haven't ridden at Buck in over 22 days. *sigh* If I can kick this cough, I hope to make it out tomorrow (Tues 24) night for some turns under the lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powell1.8 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Buck was really nice tonight. Hero snow. Very packed and very carvable. I made a few runs and had to check out the jumps. The light wasn't great yet, but I thought Id' give it a go. I was holding back just a bit. I barely cleared the first two gaps. I turned on a little speed for the last and biggest gap. It wasn't enough. I landed pretty hard on the knoll. When I say pretty hard, I mean hard enough to pop out of both bindings. It was crazy. My board just came out from under me. It didn't hurt or anything, but it kind of gave me the willies. I left the gaps alone for the rest of the night. Karl let me demo a Kessler, thank you Karl. It is an experience. It really plows through every little bump and stays right on track. The other really noticable thing was the noise, or lack of noise. My Coiler seemed loud after riding the Kessler. I thought I was just hearing things, but Karl confirmed this. They are quieter. A stange but nice feature. I don't think the hero snow was the best for a Kessler to really shine, but I'm glad I had a chance to check out the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trent Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I mean hard enough to pop out of both bindings. . :eek::eek: and karl still let you put on a kessler? ;) glad you're not hurt. -trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was already 37 degrees. The snow was soft but held together well. It was pretty quiet, not many out. As the morning went on the snow got really soft, it would not hold, then around 11:30 it started getting slow. It worked ok for slalom type turns, short with a stationary torso. After a while I could not even pump the carves to keep my speed up. The plus side is they have ALOT of snow. I left at 12:30 It is amazing how tired you get when there is no one to talk too, other than the innocent bystanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powell1.8 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Welch was a mix of super soft snow and bulletproof cord. Dan's, Harley's, Dud's, and the back bowl were all very soft from the get go. Bakke and Lookout were crazy hard, even at 2 when we left. I popped out of my rear binding again on one of the jumps. I tightened them way down after that. I think my boots are flexing alot more with the warm temps. Popping out of one binding is far scarier than popping out of both. It all worked out though.

Scuff Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hyland was darn good last night. Snow was hard and crunchy ice at 5:30, but snow got softer and more forgiving to carve as the night went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powell1.8 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Is anyone thinking of riding the fresh snow tomorrow morning? I wasn't planning on it, but if I had company I could be into it. I just get bored at Buck all by my lonesome. I think it would probably be a good softboot day.

powell1.8 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 It occurred to me that since Zoe's school has conferences today other schools will too. I confirmed this. I've been at Buck on conference days and it gets kinda crazy. This killed my motivation. It's too bad because the new snow seems really nice.

Scuff Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Last night was the most powder I've ever seen at Hyland. I imagine today would be the ultimate softboot day at Buck. Mrs Scuff and I will see you Sunday AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
