I'd love to hear more about that board. I love my Thirst swallowtails for carving. Somehow, they really smooth out chop and ruts. Nice riding everybody! RE: the big ruts, maybe just put down the pork rolls I dropped 3lbs on the table in front of that @Carvin' Marvinkid a couple weeks ago, you shoulda seen the smile on his face.

Popular Post big mario Posted January 24, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) First a roll call: 007, Ice, Inky, J49 akaFNG, Kyle, KTV, Lake Effect Mike, Lance, Mr. Infectious Grin from wrong island, pow4evah, Ms. Shelly, SVR, Yasu, and lil' ol me Once again, we didn't Just knife the phuckin' place haaahrd, we butchered it, sloppily. 14 riders turned the soft groom into a feature filled wasteland in mere moments. The park monkeys were grateful for our work, cheering us on for all the extra hits we were providing, while some of the one leg wiggling death wedge newbs had to be extricated by multiple patrollers on belay from some of the rather cavernous trenches some of us were leaving. Not really sure who was doing that. It was another awesome day with a great crew. I love it when we get riders from all over the states, or even from all over the world, that chose to drop in at our little area, and spend a day playing with us, often creating a little impromptu mini session. To those who have, thank you! To those who are thinking of it, make sure it's on a Sunday, for carve church, its sorta fun Mario Edited January 24, 2023 by big mario 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I think that might have been one of mine. I have taken myself out as well as a few of my teammates in the past. mario upon further review of the full clip, it was in fact my trench that got that poor unsuspecting skier. I like how she drops in, hooks up, and totally takes off in a totally unintended direction before she biffs Edited January 26, 2023 by big mario 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The videos clearly depict a variety of styles/techniques and skill levels further enhanced with slow motion. Looked like a great day of carving. Thanks to the cameraman. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted January 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Its cold, its windy, you wouldn't like it... I think I have a shirt that says that Before management decided to be all safety conscious and $hit and shut things down when things got a wee bit bracing, we would ride in wind chills of -25f and greater. I was never accused of being a smart man... Edited January 27, 2023 by big mario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnE Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 We both agreed that yesterday may have been the BEST DAY EVER!. Snow conditions weren't Hero - they were SuperHero. Great groom everywhere: Firebowl, Turtlecreek, Roulette, Keno (even the steep section), Scrub and Apollo. Four to six cat passes on some runs. Cold but sunny. Very few people on the slopes - mostly older skiers. No close calls. Edge grip on the perfect corduroy was amazing. Making huge carves and hearing that edge just buzzing through the cord. The snow held up well and though the cord was gone, the carving was still great when our legs gave out about 1PM. 15 runs. I was at Vail last week with some ski buddies and the grooming sucked. We went down to the office at the end of the day and told them that Loveland Groomers are the BEST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Another great day again yesterday. Once again the lodge was full of older skiers. Very little concern about unaware people on the slopes, few if any straightliners. We were one of the first chairs up Ptarmigan. As we cleared the knoll we saw that Firebowl was groomed TEN PASSES WIDE!. We carved that up again and again and again. Bennet's was about 2 passes wide and Roulette was ungroomed. Blue sky, sunshine, cool but not cold, no wind. 14 runs between 9AM and about 12:30. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Wanted to ride. Knew I would be solo and wasn’t thrilled about warm and then cold temps for conditions. And everyone burned out after Montana. The eggs Benedict I made was good. Next week… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
