www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I had a good day a little icy but not that bad we stayed until around 3:00. My buddys had a good time and so did the fam. Sorry no pics this trip. Excellent! Did you meet any of the local hardbooters? NO PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, you can still return to Portland, just don't let it happen again!! Do you have an extra board in the rig?? Glad you had a good time.

Mike T Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Excellent carving to be had on I-5 this morning before the freezing fog rolled in. If I didn't have two can't-miss meetings tomorrow I'd play hooky, looks like awesome carving conditions tomorrow as well. Get out there if you can!

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 So, I decide to hit Chan's one more time before exiting Bend. Who should I bump into?? Galen and family enjoying their dinner. Have a great time riding Wednesday Galen!! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks Bryan, were still eating the left overs! Sunny and a bit crowded today. Good groomers off Rainbow, Sunrise and Skyliner until aboubt 11, then got a little choppy. coming down Marshmellow from Skyliner I get waved over by ski patrol. "slow down, or better yet stay off this run. I dont want to have to pull your pass" Weird cuz I had 2 skiers pass me will I was linking med speed carves, and 2 skiers straight lined past us while he was talking to me. Might be a decent pow day tomorrow:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Rebecca almost get hit as well. I just stay off it most of the time now. It does have great banks on the sides if the snow is fast enough and no one is around. See you guys soon.

I've never been stopped on Marshmallow but they have been fencing it off, the signs now say "ski fast lose pass", etc. Yep, I wouldn't press your luck.

Quentin Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mike, how have the conditions been the last few days? I hope to make it up there soon. It would be nice to have at least 2 days on hard plates before OES:angryfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have at least 2 days on hard plates before OES:angryfire C'mon up! Soft snow, not exactly ideal for carving but fun to surf for sure. 3-5" expected tonite. Monday might be a better carving day than tomorrow. I may take tomorrow off, had a very close call with a tree on NW. My Steepwater took most of the impact but my shin grazed the tree and got some nice road rash. The shin is bruised, I'll have a better idea in the AM if it's bad or not. May have lightly strained my calf as well. All in all I dodged a bullet... if I hadn't used my board to break the impact I provbably would have broken my tib and fib. Somehow, the Steepwater only sustained minor damage - the tree is probably the worst off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane groshong Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mike, Take it easy. Remember you are the host of OES. Hope the leg is good look forward to seeing you in the near future. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks Shane! I think it's gonna be OK. I stayed home today, may or may not do the same tomorrow depending on how it feels, and I have a good feeling it'll be 90% strength by next weekend. The shin is bruised, the calf is quite stiff. Feels like I worked out too hard after not doing it in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I went up and did a handful of runs with my daughter today in softies. Good news is the worst pain I felt was from the bandage tape on my legs My calf seems to have enjoyed the gentle movement, although there is still healing to be done as it is still quite stiff. I'm realizing how good it is to know how to carve well enough to let the board do 90% of the work :) It's still snowing but not dumping - 2 - 4" per day. The snow was pretty wet today. Might get some carving conditions later on in the week after it stops snowing - for now, the groomers will be too soft for aggressive carving. I would have been on softies today even without the injury. The new snow will only help OES, my hope is that it keeps snowing right through till 2-3 days before OES and then gets sunny.

Galen Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Bluebird day. Unfortunately the grooming off Sunrise and Rainbow left a little to be desired. Multiple grooming "humps" running the length of the runs, really takes you by surprise in the shadows. Runs off skyliner were excellent though, especially Chipper which was still in good shape at noon. Looks like another great day tomorrow:biggthump Oh yeah, pretty crowded. Lots of students up from Ca. Sunrise parking lot was closed by noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
