JRAZZ Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) I can't feel my legs... Yeah, that kind of day :) Snowed the entire time but that didn't seem to make a difference. Seemed on the firmish side. Mario, Ink, Katie, Lance and the kids, and of course the odd one in attendance. Busy but thankfully the traffic was very manageable. That's good because I had no energy for driving. I'm sure my body will forgive me for this at some point. I'm going to sleep and probably dream of "driving the knees!". Happy new year LCI! p.s. That's one heck of a new year's resolution. Drive it! (oh the horror) Edited December 31, 2017 by erazz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(oh the horror) Be not scared, just be..... Enough about your breakthrough day, lets talk about me... But first, congratulations. Now me. Ive been salivating about that Jasey since I rode it last 'round about 2 weeks ago. I was hoping for another spin last weekend, but all of that damn snow had to come and fall and screw up my potential drool fest. Dammit. I got my chance today. I've been riding stupid long boards for over 10 years now, and have been delighting in bending them to my will. Boards under 180, have given me pause. I decided to throw the dice on something way shorter than I normally ride this year and picked up a 174 earlier this year. It handed me my fat ass a few times early on when conditions were still kinda soft, but man, it sure has been fun since it has firmed up. Tiny turns without having to throw everything at a board. What a concept. I am liking it. even managed to close a 360 degree toeside. Too bad I was worked like a fish out of water, 'cause I might have been able to ride it out instead of flopping around like that aforementioned fish. Ahhh, good times. Looking forward to riding it a whole lot more in the next 5 months with the rest of you knuckleheads, and for those on the IR, heal up and get back out, you are missed! Happy new year you bunch of boneheads, See you in 2018! mario Edited January 1, 2018 by big mario had to call the grammer police again on my sorry ass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monodude Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Update: Sure missing riding with you Yahoos... The VA continues to amaze me, MRI scheduled for FEB 23rd. WOW ! Still really swollen, but, slowly feeling better. Ankle is tolerable and the knee only hurts if I move it too much. I have a feeling that I will be able to ride the mono in 3 or 4 weeks. Took a roadtrip to Oregon to see my sweetie, just got back. easy 6 days of driving. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chouinard Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 How are conditions at Loveland? I am locked into flights Feb 9 - Feb 10 [Booked before the Unofficial ATC but after the Cancellation of the Official ATC]. I am wondering if I should cancel lodging in Aspen while I still can and find something near some decent base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 since the base elevation is nearly 11,000', things have been holding up really well, and its usually pretty damn cold, so freeze thaw cycles are very rarely an issue. About 110'' so far this season with a 30''+ base mario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcABQ Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 my phone didn't register your name (somehow i screwed up) so i don't have your #, but you know who i'm talking to. about the flow bindings, i checked with my welding buddy and he said, "because the metal is most likely heat treated I am very wary of touching it. The liability isn't worth it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiteparsons Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 PC- haven't been there in a month or two. Been having too much fun at Loveland and the Basin. Wish I could join you, but I have involuntary commitments that day. It was good seeing most everyone on Sunday. Wish I didn't have to dip early. Heal up Iceman. Really sorry to hear about your ordeal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Did anyone go to Loveland on Sunday? By many accounts it may have been the best (non-carving) day of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a real powder day over these in between days that we have been having lately. Not a fan of dust on crust.

JRAZZ Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Were you the only one that showed up? I thought about battling the conditions on I-25 and I-70 and decided my bed was far more enticing. I also think you guys kinda ruined me. I prefer groomer days now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I had to try out the new wagon queen family truckster, Ink was my copilot. The Dude showed up for a few before his mri at 2:30, Lance and Katie were up as well. left at 5:40, took nearly 2 hours to get up there. The FLEX was awesome in the snow, and way, way, way more swank than the element. I didn't mind the double than normal commute time on the ride up give me powder or give me groom, this in between stuff is only good for beating the shit out of me and building a base. And I am 1.5 weeks into fighting the 4 week crud that is going around. Call the fucking WHAMBULANCE already Mario FLY EAGLES FLY.....

John E Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Left at 5:40 and took 2 hours to get to Loveland?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I feel waaayyy better about staying home. Went to Vail last Thursday & Friday with some college buddies. 1/2 price lift tickets were ONLY $95 and the snow sucked. Please Sir, can I have another? We left Vail on Saturday AM. Roads were dry. Westbound I-70 was bumper-to-bumper from Beaver Brook to Idaho Springs at 8:45. No thank you! Mario - hope you get over your crud. No crud at Aspen Expression Session.
