dingbat Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Status on the beast after another **** storm?? I'll post tonight when I get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Coverage at the Dome is good. They got enough snow with the last storm to offset the rain and closed the hill Wed so the rain could run right through rather than get mashed into boiler plate. Conditions tonight were hard but carveable. I expect tomorrow's snow will be better than last weekend's and with the snow coming tomorrow night, Sun. should be lovely. See you there?

*Ace* Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I was planning on maybe somewhere farther north. BEast could me in the mix for SUN. Taking the split-tail out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapster Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hey Ace, Have you tried out that Madd freeride yet? Hope to see everyone on the hill sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sadly no. I've been having too much fun on all the other boards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Pure Awesomeness at the Dome this evening. Snow is falling. Tomorrow will be good. Saw what looked like Dan from the lift, but never crossed paths with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Planning on being there for first tracks tomorrow. I'll be bringing your board, a Surf-Rodz 160 and my Nidecker Extreme Asym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapster Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Any reports on the virgin ride of the Dingbat custom? Ugh, was sidetracked by home repairs this weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak up midweek after they lay out some cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 What about this Sunday, I know I know, I keep saying that but I really need to ride with some other Alpine riders, I have had 5 days with my son and its time to cut loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Bobby, You're killin' me! I'll be in the paradise known as New Jersey this Sunday. The Scrap-Star was suposedly up today. If he did go, he should be jonesing for more with the conditions they've got up there right now. You could probably get him to come out Sun. Also, call Dan at Trails Sport Shop (413) 625-6607 and tell him you're coming up to ride. He is an amazing carver and jumps at the chance to get out of the shop to ride with other hardbooters. Call him soon though so he can get someone to cover the shop. Yesterday was perfect hero groom. I cut turns from 9:30am to 4:30 pm and then I felt like when I was a kid and spun around in the tire swing for too long. Not nauseous, but just kind of dizzy to the point of feeling faint. It was f****** fantastic. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUeN6LZNPVQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUeN6LZNPVQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Mike is telling me to look for a foot of snow Sun, Mon, or Tue, which is good because it must have softened up today in the sun. When I got up the hill tonight it was approaching boiler plate, but not quite that bad. So the caveat is that the patern could shift and we may miss the snow. Good news is, if we get snow, it should be big and we'll be locked in the cold for a bit. Bad news is, if we miss it, we'll be on the outside and facing a blow-torch, melt-freeze scenario. Keep your fingers crossed. I'll be back up the hill Mon. in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 "As of right now, heading up to the hill on Tuesday seems like the best bet. It's either going to be the best Powder day of the year, or it will be the best groomed day of the year..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapster Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hmmm, the main stream weather websites are saying a big dump on Sunday, with lighter snow showers on Monday. If that holds, I might head up early Monday morning--that's not set in stone though. I need to forecast 1) the weather, 2) wife's mood, and 3) crap that I just have to get done off the slopes. "Scrap-star"? I like it! That would be a very dim star though...especially when it comes to carving prowess ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'll be up Mon regardles of the weather. See you there if I see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapster Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hey Dingbat and Mr. Buggs-sorry I didn't meet up with you guys again on the hill after lunch. Was good riding with ya' in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Mike says the next three weeks we're going to get so mutch snow there won't be enough places to put it all! The earlier it starts this Tue/Wed, the better it will be for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Big storm coming next week. We'll probably see rain, which will suck, but it should set up a round of nor'easters, which will not suck. If for some reason the coming storm blows up the coast instead of back toward PA / OH, it'll most likely stall off the cape and we could see 30+ inches. Doubt it'll happen but, keep your fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looking good for next Tuesday! The storm is tracking east and showing for a foot so far out this way. Hope for more easting! Conditions at the hill are thick and soft packed powder as it is right now. Should be fantastic through the weekend leading up to this coming storm!

*Ace* Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I am sitting in the airport right now, en route back home. Could possibly make it for tomorrow, but I would have to be insane to do it. Maybe next weekend I can head up. Let me know how it is!
