Dave ESPI Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 uh... just a THOUGHT..... anyone have a GOOD camera? or is there someone who would be around who is not riding who can take some action shots or videos for us all> >? While I do have an associates in Photography and graphics, saddly all my good equipment is SLR film stuff... not Digital and a tad outdated. Is there a "Mountian Photo" type of person who works at BE and would be able to be hired by us for a few hours to be said person? Just an idea tossed out there :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Is there a "Mountian Photo" type of person who works at BE..... :lol::lol::lol::lol: Yeah, you sign up for photos at the desk just inside the door by where the high speed six lets off at the second summit lodge.;) We are very much on our own for photos.

scrapster Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey, anybody have an extra snowboard shipping box they might part with at the Thunderdome meet? (Needs to fit a 168.) I could throw you a few bucks for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinS Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Dingbat, can you add me to the list? I can't make sunday, only saturday. I am new to carving this year, maybe you guys can show me how its done! I will be on a green donek axis, and probably the worst carver there!

Dave ESPI Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for offer Ding, I can atleast trade a good meal (being a chef and all) for the accomodations. I'd have to check and see if I can bail on Jiminy then for the weekend... (pun intended) and check to see if Collin is definate for a ride out. 2 days ripping it would be nice.

*Ace* Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Bummer... How is the snow looking for tomorrow? I'll give Wayne from Surf-Rodz a ring and see if he can make it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sad to say i wont be there. My foot is just not ready. Typical of the way this year has gone. Have fun and i'll catch you next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapster Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 There is snow, that's the important part :) They had good accumulation on Wednesday night, with a little more last night, and a little more still tonight. It was on the heavy side for powder, and it hardened into Cascade concrete-like chunks at night. Given a thorough grooming though, it should be quite good for carving. Ohe yeah, and there's more coming still for Saturday night--though daytime temps will probably be above freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cail Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 should i bother bringing a non-carving board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Leave your soft setup home. Today was SO nice. Shred had out the X-Fleet and amazed all of us, you guys missed out. I'll be back for more tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Snow is supposed to kick in heavy about 10:00 am. Till then, it should be lovely groom. Once the snow starts, who knows. I'd throw something in the car to use when the bottom dissapears and it bumps up. A little bad news, mostly for me. Late this evening, I got T-boned by a skier in the middle of a heelside turn. Sled ride, ambulance ride, e-room. Long story short, I'm gonna be fine, but may be off the snow for a bit. I hope to be up first thing tomorrow regardles. If i have a mirraculous recovery, I'll take a few runs. Today was absolutely phenomenal. Perfect weather, perfect snow for carving, a bunch of great folks out, and some amazing boards to try out. Awesome day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 dingbat, that Stinks! You have put so much into this making this happen, and even get a break from Ma' Nature. Here's hoping you feel good enough to enjoy the day (gee didn't they give you any "good stuff", double up man ;) you won't feel a thing) until later !
