garyj Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I just got up to Mammoth this afternoon. Carving should be ideal in the next couple days as the grooming and cold temps hunker down the snow. If anyone is up and wants to make some turns give me a post. I will most likely ride Mammoth early and maybe June in the afternoon. Tomorrow will most likely be an all mountain day after it gets all cut up. Hopefully we'll see some carvers out there tomorrow...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hey Gary! Yeah I'm up here too, and its COOOOOLDD!!! That should keep the snow in good shape for the next few days. I'll be at June tomorrow and Sunday probably. Look for me on an AM board! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm driving up tomorrow and staying in Bishop. Won't hit the Mammoth runs until Sunday though. I'm thinking of doing June on Monday, how are the conditions there comparatively? I'm the newbie in the orange jacket on a Prior ATV 171. If you see a guy on hardboots falling a lot that's probably me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I saw two hardbooters today at June. Terry I was sure about (can't miss that helmet). Gary, were you on a blue Prior today and riding with your kids? I think I saw you coming down Bodie as I went up J6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Didn't see any hardbooters at Mammoth today. It was packed to the max though! The runs on the backside weren't too bad. I think I'll be at June tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll be at June tomorrow. I was there later in the day, and I saw one other guy on a shorter Burton, was that you? This was near chair 2. I'll see you at June tomorrow. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't, Woolly is riding some nice equipment!!! yes and yes when i saw him i had to take a couple of pics, check my profile i just added a picture, i didn't know his name is Wolly, thanks for the info by the way the virus is a sweet ride, more demanding than the prior but worth the extra effort, i guess i'm officially infected as of 12/27/08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I was there later in the day, and I saw one other guy on a shorter Burton, was that you? This was near chair 2.I'll see you at June tomorrow. :) I'm on the Prior ATV 171. Alright I saw a bunch of carvers on J4 yesterday, where you guys at? Man, the runs around the J4 chair are awesome! The grooming was still good through the end of the day and the 'crowd' was all in the middle and right of the mountain. I'm officially joining the "June Sux" brigade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algunderfoot Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 This Wisconsonite is headed for Bishop / June Mtn next weekend (1/10-1/11) Any feedback you locals have on conditions, forecasts, and Apres' would be most appreciated. Those of you choosing Mammoth, watch your backs, you need a head on a swivel at that place. Have a fun, safe New Years weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Where are you guys? I was at the Eagle lodge side the whole day and didn't see any other hardbooters. There were about 2 million other tourons though. June will probably be in order tomorrow. Look for me on a stubby. :) I will probably have a bunch of softbooters in tow though, and may have to spend most of my time over by J7. Algunderfoot: I should be around that weekend hopefully. There isn't much Apres in June. Tiger Bar would be the closest to a scene. In Mammoth proper, there are a few places. Whiskey Creek is decent, Lakanuki if you like the fart.. err frat party scene ;).

Algunderfoot Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Thanks Nekdut, And all we have in Wisconsin is Saugage parties you know, so I think I'll avoid the Lakanuki. I'll be on a Cranberry Prior 4WD, Dark Grey Karbon jacket, light grey pants, let's catch up if your there. I'm usually a first tracks guy unless it's Sierra Cement, in which case I'll let the sun get up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyj Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Sorry I missed the Sunday Gunsmoke brigade. With sporadic web access I was a little out of touch with you guys. I did see Thomas and we rode Gunsmoke for several runs, which was fun---good to ride with you again Thomas! I also met LOC before making his last run. The carving conditions were near ideal both Monday and Tuesday at June. The conditions at Mammoth were also good, with the exception of the crowds, as one would expect. Although there was plenty of real estate to make turns between the hives of people with a smaller board. Big boards were out of the question on most of the carvable runs. Hopefully I can meet up with some of you boys later this month---see you then. GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Here is a video I made of June on Monday the 29th. Yes, I was toilet sitting and skidding out but I fixed that later in the day :) http://vimeo.com/2671832 June is such a great place. I think I found my new stomping grounds.

Arclite Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hey Loc, do you have a relative named "Brian?" You guys have the same last name, and thats not a common name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hey Loc, do you have a relative named "Brian?"You guys have the same last name, and thats not a common name. Nah don't have a relative by that name. I'm sure you're being sarcastic about "Nguyen" being uncommon right? My sarcasm meter might be broken lol. I think 75% of Vietnamese have my last name so I differentiate myself by riding on hardboots :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclite Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well i only know you and brian with that last name. lol.:lol: any way. yeah..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Had to actually lol at that one. If I recall correctly, there were half a dozen Nguyens in the San Diego Youth Symphony the years I was honkin on the bassoon there..None of them related. This was a group of 26..
