jp1 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 LCI, I just want to say " THANKS EVERYONE " !! I had a Great Time again (except for the tree @ A-Basin) ..... I thought I was above the tree line Loveland was absolutely AWESOME @ 70+% ! I'll have to check my notes when I'm awake to mention everyone, but it was a Great time for the 2nd year. Lotsa carnage this trip, hope everyone heals up well and quick ! Always cool to see an 'Alpine Snowboard Shop' (Bola's) All Boards Sports actually and Mr. Wizard's (Fin's) 'Bomber Shop' is only surpassed by his Engineering Marvels. What a Beautiful area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronG Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thought I would be heading to CO for Christmas to ride with you guys but a change of plans has me going to Salt Lake instead. Hope to catch up with the LCI in a month or two. Merry Christmas to all the LCI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Got out and spun the pedals up Apex tonite to celebrate the solstice, and I didn't do too terrible considering I have not been on a bike since july. Fun way to spend an evening. Back on topic, I am planning on friday if anyone is interested, see you at the wedge mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Fun day today, scrub was mowed in its normal three track wide configuration, Pete and I spent the first hour( 5 runs) trying to make it down with some sense of style and aplomb and not make total asses out of ourselves. Greenleaf, glad to see you back out today, it has been too long and too deep into the season to finally ride with you. Geoff, hope you are making some turns this weekend, if not I will make a few more for you see you sunday mario loveland blows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monodude Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I still don't have internet in Rock Springs. I have been riding at a small Mom & Pop ski area called White Pine Resort. (It's a 2 hour drive north). They don't quite know what to think about the MonoDude. It's all good though. On the second day most of the staff knew and greeted me by name. It has one chair and nothing very steep but the groomer is good and the trees are open. Not many people ride there and even less good riders. ( I guess with Jackson 80 miles north they ride there). Riding down the main groomers I might go 3 or 4 runs and not see anyone else one the run. Most of the time carves I layed down at 9:00 AM are still vivid at 2:00. It also seems that I can have all the fresh that I want. I went up on Thursday and had my pick of areas, (nearly top to bottom), of fresh untracked from the previous Monday, and I've only seen 2 or 3 tracks in the trees. I'm waiting for more cover in them. There's already been extensive P-Tex work done on the "Monster Fat" Powder Mono. Ski Patrol is hounding me hard to come onboard. It looks like I'll be taking the required EMT type course in Jan. I think it's called "OEC". The General Manager and the 4 Owners want me to teach in the ski school. I'm in Heaven and trying not to get "The BIG HEAD" over it all. I miss ridin' with the LCI. All you guys rip and my carving skills have have improved tremendously in the last two seasons by hangin' with ya'll. Thanks for lettin' the Freak ride along. I'm going to try to come down for some more lessons in a couple of weeks. Don Feed the addiction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 This is the plan if work doesn't mess it up: ride tomorrow with Concussed after dropping off KarverKai at camp. Should arrive around 10ish. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.T. Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi. I miss you guys. :( Hey Chica, you know that we are always there and you guys are always welcome to visit! On another note, I decided to take my Christmas present (to myself) out for a spin in the snow today - what a hoot!!! The only thing better than enjoying the new bike was finding that a bunch of new singletrack has been built on my local trails!!! I did an out-and-back with a little break to enjoy the snow and scenery at a lookout. Within 15 minutes, my tracks from the "out" portion were non-existent. While the new trail is nice, they need a few lessons from the Trailblazers. The way things are contoured, they will have a few mud holes develop, along with some other drainage and maintenance issues. I should probably find out who is in-charge of building the trail and figure out a way to get them educated - might have to call on you, ink, for some assistance. Bike geometry along with the DHX Air 5.0 worked superbly. That thing climbs like an effing mountain goat! The Talas 36 was awesome. Still need to dial-in the rear derailleur as I was getting some ghost-shifting at inopportune times. The tires hooked up great!!! The rear Ignitor broke loose a few times on some short and super steep climbs, but would quickly reengage and was awesome otherwise; holy sh*t that tire leaves a super-wide foot print! The Ardent on the front was hooked-up the entire ride. Six hours later and I'm still grinning from ear-to-ear. :D:D:D:D:D Ready to ride again as soon as the snow mellows!

inkaholic Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi. I miss you guys. :( Happy New Years from the Runes Ohana to you, Jim, and the LCI! Well everyone else for that matter. KarverKai should be out early on Day 1. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the transition from the GT went well, stoked for you. KK and I went sledding in the yard this evening. Good times! Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arneburner Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Ink, I looked for you yesterday, but did not see you. Saw one guy on a test Rossi skwal, but that was the only other hardbooter. Rode the Oxygen proton from 9 to 10:30 when the sun was out. Went to the softies once the snow came and the light went flat. The crowds were out in full force. Besides being cold and windy, it is also crowded now. Anyone riding Sunday, the 2nd?, should be a good day. Happy New Year!

inkaholic Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Arnie, I wasn't out yesterday. After the crowds on Wed and only 2 runs, I decided not to go. Concussed heard that Lovey exceeded their record attendance by 900... NINE HUNDRED! Yes, you could say it was crowded. D.T. and I were both saying that we had never seen it as crowded in all our years of attendance. Concussed, KK, D.T., Shelly and myself should be out on Sat and hopefully Sun.

live_love_ride Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I too observed the crowds when I was up on Tues. Rather shocked to say the least. Have never seen lines like that before!! From an article yesterday on 9News.com... "The last two days at the Loveland Ski Area have been our busiest in our 70 plus years," Looking forward to next week when crowds are gone and temps are a bit warmer :) llr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
