b0ardski Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The bigfish has the big fog, but "ski by braile" is a good skill to have on some days. Last Sun. I rode chair 4 (sunny side) all morning wihth no lines & great vis., while the masses were picking their way down & over loading the 6 pack. I did hit the triple for a couple of Braile Bump runs in the afternoon. Dane has been a great ambassador of alpine, hooking some local converts up with demo gear. The massive grins after a 1st session with the hardboot crew are priceless. Inpromptu INWES sesssion at schweetzer would be Great. 3-5 alpiners meet at the clock tower for opening bell 8:50 mon., tue. & wed. & I'm there on fri. also. the 20th looks good for carving weather. Day tickets are $59, becki has a few $10 off coupons, if you get a letter from skischool you can get a comp ticket. I'd also like to get a group to car pool up to Turner mt. (Closed mid week) for a Friday powder day. $30 tickets & BYOB, all day freshies & they've stepped up the grooming. The 27th Is shapeing up to be a killer pow day at Turner. http://skiturner.com/ http://www.accuweather.com/us/id/sandpoint/83864/forecast-15day.asp?partner=ietoolbar Going up this morning, the cord should be killer with the fresh snow machined in:biggthump For a "toe in the snow" report or meet up info ring me 208-six one oh-2169 free for ATT users Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 168 madd bx kix a$$ in all conditions; from ec's in the cord to dancing down the steep bumps to bushwackin tight trees to find those perfect 5 turn powder slots. Fri. 20th looks like another killer carving day, be there at 8:50 or we'll have it trenched up before you can say "alaskan amber at the wang shack?":biggthump shooting for a powder fri. at http://skiturner.com/ feb. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ardski Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 sounds good Mark. Andre will likley join us, he says unless it's a powder day, looking foward to the board reviews. Gus came up fri., it was a beautiful sunny powder day & some of the crew talked us in to hiking up big blue. 12 of us in all shredded up the face, had a great run, but the bush wackin' to get out was pretty thick. Gus hardboots on freeride boards also, so the hike & bushwackin wore him out. I gave him a dicount coupon to entice him back for more civilized shredding.
