NateW Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I spotted two hardbooters at Stevens yesterday and waved at you guys near the bottom of the Brooks chair - was that anyone on here? I mean to wait at the top of the lift, but the sunshine got the better of me on the way up... I forgot completely, until a couple runs later.

Nice job, I usely go on Mondays. But to look that good. mike g. ________ bB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 There's a 33% chance I can be flattered by that. :) Did the guy they saw have a ponytail? I'm kicking myself for not stopping to meet those other two guys. I never saw them ride, just saw them stop near the base of the chairlift.

mike g. Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't think they looked, that hard. I can ask when they get back in town. They are over at mission, this week testing ski's. ________ weed vaporizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium20 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Been riding traditional softboot setup for ten years now. Mainly hiking around Stevens now. Trying to ramp up my riding skills. I have a pretty decent hardboot setup and I am looking for someone to teach/coach me how it is done. Anyone have any suggestions for the Washington-Whistler, B.C. area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm going to try to be at Stevens every Wednesday and every weekend (usually Saturday, occasionally Sunday) through the end of March, then just weekends for as long as the snow lasts. This coming Wednesday is a little iffy due to issues at work, but I'll be there this Saturday for sure. Barring the occasional excursion to Big Chief or Skyline, I mostly ride the terrain park. If you want to meet up there, just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium20 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thank you for the quick response. I usually go a couple of times a week midweek. I think I am going up on saturday. But unfortunately I think that I am going up with a female friend. How do I find you up there? Do you think that the hill will be a bit sketchy with all the groms to dodge? What you think?

NateW Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Oh, that's too bad. I'm terribly allergic to females. :p Seriously though... I mostly just do laps down the terrain park and up the Brooks chair so, I'll come by the the bottom of the chair every 15 minutes. If you don't want to wait, just ride under the Brooks chair and we'll see each other. Hardbooters are really rare up there. If you see a guy with an alpine board, it's me. If I see a guy with an alpine board, I'll assume it's you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium20 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 So I was able to shed the female. Driving and leaving my place around 7am. Gonna make some turns on my freeride board around Yodelin for a bit then switch. Ill be the guy eating sh** on my carver all over Brooks. Yellow jacket black pants.

Titanium20 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Been in Europe for the past week now. Discovered once again that the mountains are bigger and steeper than in the U.S. unfortunately only brought a couple of freeride setups. Euros seem to only stick to groomer. Any ideas why? Coming back on wednesday gonna ride on saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think I'll be up there Saturday too, but maybe Sunday. My GF made an appointment for us to get shots for a trip to Brazil (friend getting married down there), and that might be Saturday, I need to check with her.

Titanium20 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I love that place. I do not know when you are going but make sure to get a tourist visa. They are good for five years. If you need one pronto I had to get a company out of Washington D.C. to get me one ultra quick. As for the shots, I had one that made me super sick with flu like symptons for a day. What sucked was it was the day I drove all the way up to Whistler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'll be up there Saturday as well, I'll call on my way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
