fishrising Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I am anxiously awaiting the upcoming season now that my daughter has been bitten by the winter sports bug...albeit on skis at the moment, but she got 5 solid days in last season, with top to bottom runs and some blue squares by the 4th day! And she keeps asking, when can we go again??? I'll leave it at that, and let you guys debate: 1. Where it is winter. 2. Where there is snow. 3. When the season will start where you live.

Enzo Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'll leave it at that, and let you guys debate: 1. Where it is winter. 2. Where there is snow. 3. When the season will start where you live. Still some snow in NH to feed your addiction. I was up in Tux 3 weeks ago. This guy hit it just the other day for some July turns. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMaINcvCBjw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMaINcvCBjw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul. The photos will likely return when they make repairs to the BOL website. Currently all "Attached" photos are absent.

SunSurfer Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 No doubt about it. It's winter here in New Zealand. Was up carving at Turoa on Mt Ruapehu just over a week ago. Still early season here with snow base still rising. Even saw a couple of other carving boards in use amongst all the jibbers and skiers.

Arrive in Queenstown on 8/30.....Do you think there will be room for another carver on the hills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi Paul K, NZ Winter Games will have just ended as you arrive. http://www.wintergamesnz.com/programme.php Should be a bit of space. Plenty of Aussies across this winter cause of the good snow and the recession keeping them closer to home. http://www.nzski.com/mountain.jsp?site=coronetpeak http://www.cardrona.com http://www.treblecone.com/Default.asp Check out the websites for the local field's conditions / webcams etc. Remarkables website is on the same site as Coronet. I'll have been on Cardrona, TC and Coronet the week before the Games start. Have a great trip! Remember that carving is not big in NZ so spares will be hard/impossible to come by.

Guest shrederjen Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Winter starts in 13 more days!!!! And what a joy to be sharing it with three other Hardbooters, one on skis and the other two on boards! There will be pictures. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 All I can think about is longtracking my snowmobile for backcountry access, and the Pogo Shaman I have a line on! Anyone got it worse than me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 At our shop, when the season ended it was abrupt. Suddenly everyone needed a bike tune or a new bike or kayak. The last few days we've seen the opposite swing. I'm shipping more skis and snowboards than summer gear. It's amazing (and gratifying!). People get in that mindset and they know there are terrific deals out there on closeout gear. Hurry up snow!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I put my boards outside in the 30C heat on the weekend to sunbathe. Now I have just over a month before I head to NZ, and suddenly discover I'm out of mid temp wax and my scraper has disappeared - where the hell am I going to find this stuff in the middle of summer? Thank god for online shopping! I still have to figure out how my TD3's work and re-form my boot liners... pull my jacket and outergear out from storage ... find my boardbag ... replace my binding screws ... and locate that spare Intec cable ... I thought I still had months to do all this stuff ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
