Bullwings Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Summit has only 12 inches left...... sad Yup, sad indeed. This looks like it'll be my last day for the season, unless... eh, unfortunately I don't see myself making it out of town for the rest of the season, but i can still hope. Enjoy Mammoth guys, it'll likely be your last until next season, unless you go there or Tahoe again this season... Carve it up for me, happy turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryw Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Sure wish I could go hang with you guys up there at Mammoth. I hate the end of tax season. I sure have the wrong job for being a carver. Oh well, there is still a little snow left on the hill at Summit. Maybe I can manage a trip to Mammoth after the 15th. I guess we will see. Have fun, and carve a run for me.

garyj Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I just got two runs in this afternoon. The weather is beautiful with no wind---well maybe a little breeze. Temps in the 20's tonight should make for some grippy and hard conditions Monday AM.:D Weather is indicating 50's tomorrow. Not sure where I will be riding, but will most likely be on blue Prior WCR in the morning then army green WCR afternoon with orange Indy's. Hope to catch up with you guys tomorrow or Tuesday.

KingCrimson Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I would've come, but we've been too busy enjoying the hero! Just wish there weren't all these damn knuckledraggers taking up my run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyj Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I rode today from 8am to about 130. Carving conditions were about a good as it gets at Mammoth. I didn't see any other alpine riders and rode solo the whole session. The morning was best with near asphalt like conditions but still grippy and hooking up. The big board was the call until about 10am when it started to get too crowded for big, open turns. The weather was near perfect with little wind and 40 to 50 degree temps. By the time I made it back to Canyon the snow conditions near there were a bit spring like but still fun on a shorter board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back up there on Friday evening. Can't wait, especially considering the fresh snow that is supposed to be on the way!! Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyj Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Neil, I know what you mean about the sore legs, but it all being well worth it. It sucks to be the week end warrior that I am these days. I did get to ride with Aaron, Julian, and his dad which was a good time. Hopefully tomorrow too. The weather started to blow in at about 1130. Not too cold but cloudy and a bit windy. Carving conditions are still good all over the mountain. Erwin, why the mid west? Don't we have enough latex in the world? Give me a call when you get a chance, we need to get caught up and make some plans for some spring boarding with you and Robert. Hope you enjoyed the beer.

Arclite Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 oh man! beautiful day at mammoth today. brought out the oxygen proton 168 13m. PERFECT board for the conditions. I was cutting up nice trenches, getting low, getting some nice comments, and the occasional mouthful of snow... And Aaron killed the party today by switching to his damn skis....I was offended when he asked me to carry his skis.... 5-9 inches of powder tomorrow. Time for the 3800!

carvingchef Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 we just got back to the condo and let me say this was one of the best trip to mammoth for me, yesterday we had clear sky and it was very carvelicious, then last night the clouds moved in dumping enough fresh snow to have a powderfull day today, visibility was kind of low in the early hours and then it cleared enough to make the condition just beautiful, the 4807 with plates rocks, it floats in powder and i could still carve it up on the open runs with chopped up powder, to sum it up, we had a blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mookihouse Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I saw a blue Coiler and a black & white Coiler at the rack outside Mill's Cafe at lunch time yesterday (Sunday). Wondering if the owners are one of you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I was there, but those aren't my boards. I didn't see any other hardbooters actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
