John E Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Wow - Sunday was quite a Loveland day - cold and windy. We were on softies and tried #2, #4 & #6 for descent snow. None. South Chutes were the worst I've ever seen. They opened #8 about 10AM. I was hoping that Zip Basin would have all of the snow blown off the rest of the mountain. No luck. The windpack over there was very firm. Most of the terrain over on #8 was sustrugi and krumholz. Like mountaineering snowboarding. Boarding was gorilla style. Had to hop edge to edge and try to jam the edge into the snow. The groomer under #8 was probably the best groomed run on the mountain. Pretty good actually. The wind kept blowing and they stopped #8 for about 5 minutes with us about 4 chairs from the top. We quit about 12:30. Lift #2 was closed due to wind (never seen that before). I think it was 3 degrees when we started and 11 degrees when we quit. The patrol said the winds were 50 - 70 mph. You know - Loveland.

inkaholic Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 The usual suspects took the short bus to switchback and said there was added shelter from the wind and the snow surface was about the best they had seen all season. I kept the boys on 1 till seeing jack frost nipping at KK's nose. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 John, I watched lots of the snow get blown up to the top of the divide and over the other side. Switch back was awesome, and for the most part empty, until about 11. It was blowin' hard over ther even with the extra trees and lower elevation. All in all a really good day mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balboajeff Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone, thanks for the love! I'actually doing pretty well, as it turns out ,I broke my sternum and seperated my shoulder. I made band pratice before going to the hospital and haven't missed work. The benifits of modern pharmacology are not to be taken lightly. Ice, Bigs and Ink: thanks for extracting me from my gear and picking me up. The next round is on me. As God is my witness, I'll ride again before this season ends. Edited February 28, 2012 by balboajeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Bottle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Jeff, Sorry to hear about your fall, but glad to hear you're doing OK. Stay medicated, get well soon and hope to see you on the mountain when you're healed. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Jeff - we were sitting down on a run and remarking how hard the snow was. "Wouldn't want to fall on this". Hope you heal completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't wait to test Ms. Kate's first race board...the 136 Rossi. He waxed and mounted it up last night. First ride will be up 2 to get into the wide open. Even with the winds. MUCH straigher scr than the Rookie 99 so this should be interesting to see how he adapts. Ink Edited March 4, 2012 by inkaholic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDowall Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I decided at the last minute that I will be going to Loveland tomorrow bright and early. I'll be on my skwal and testing out my new GoPro! Hope to see some people there. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Bottle Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Fought 70 mph winds getting around Denver and through the mountains and it was snowing when I arrived at Lovey, with the flags flying straight out in normal Loveland fashion. Riding was sketchy at first, as the wind had drifted up the snow in places, so you might be riding in a foot of pow and by the end of the turn, you would be on clean groom. By 10:00am however, the weather totally changed. The wind died, the sun came out and it wound up being a stellar day (by Loveland standards). As the day progressed, the pow scattered and the runs were really nice. Representing were Ice, Greenleaf, Scott, and McDowall on the Skwal and I met another hardbooter Brian who didn't ride with the group. By the end of the day, Fire Bowl was trenched, Drifter was ripped, Fire Cut was grooved, Roulette was anialated and then we took the short bus over to Switchback, after which there was no doubt the LCI had been there. Outstanding day was had by all and my teeth are sunburned! :p Props to Ice and Greenleaf for the pointers to help me work my way back into the groove!!! Can't believe I almost turned around and went home due to the wind... James Edited March 8, 2012 by Dusty Bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDowall Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) over to Switchback, after which there was no doubt the LCI had been there. The five of us went down Switchback three times, so on the lift ride back up after everyone else split, I tried to spy all 15 trenches on the run. Overall a great day, though my go-pro fell off my board twice requiring a 15 min search and rescue the first time and 10 min the second. I'm thinking of a way to wire the camera casing to my binding (because I like the angle a lot), so if it does come off the mount, it will just fly around my feet till I stop. (I mounted it on the back of the board the first time and front the second.) I'll be hitting up A-basin on Thursday!

ExcelsiorTheFathead Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'll show up tomorrow. I'll try to be in the parking lot by 8:30 and will look around upstairs before I head up and start by circulating on the top of #2. No new snow for a couple of days and a good wx forecast, so hopefully it will be good carving conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
