Dan Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'm thinking of picking up a ticket on Craigslist (Meadows passes are about $40) to take advantage of empty slopes on Super Bowl Sunday. What's the collective thinking on conditions on Sunday? I'm thinking it's going to be a soft groomer day -- no big snowfalls, but enough days with an inch or two that the groom will be soft, and hard carving could result in going over the handlebars. Does that sound on target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P06781 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yes that sound about right ! Might go Sunday too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I plan to be there Jim. I will have couple extra boards in tow. Plate demos? Terms: You know I am not standing around or being late to the lift. Handle the boards with extreme care. You must run Bomber TD2 or TD3. Bring your upper plates. I will NOT remove the cants, so, you will need to like 3/3 at about 20" stance. Bryan PS. I do have an extra pair of TD2 Intec plates that you can borrow and set up on your own time. As in; catch me early, I hand you the plates, you adjust them to your boots, next time back to the truck you can try a board? Make sense? Radios with fresh batteries everyone? Sam? Dan? ?? Who's available for a mini monday session?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I know I'm dreaming ) J Jim, being we can swap boards on the mountain. I could go out on it myself first thing and then trade you on the hill. Only problem is I will probably want to take out the "Aris" Tinkler first thing. Man I love that board!! It might be a good day to get out the 203cm boards?? I can bring an extra Tinkler for you too. The "Identity" Tinkler is ready to rock. I will call on the drive up. Bring food Fourth Quarter / How is the beer and pizza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light was good, some clouds rolled through on occasion, however, overall it was sunny and excellent conditions. No, the toe and heel are not designed for a DIN ski binding. Some AT bindings MIGHT work, however, I would not use them unless they are expressly designed for alpine boots. Tuesday?? Should be really good again.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Jim and I had a mini demo session with great groomer conditions. Jim road three different boards and I rode two. All about the same length , very different feel. Side Note: MHM cut the upper cat track in (above Cascade chair) Here is a photo of it. I saw tracks, however, I did not see a Cat serving the area? Must have hiked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly Thursday and Friday. Bryan, (spelled your name right this time:)) Can I see your board collection some time?? I need some ideas and such. Contact me djlewy@q.com and I will give you my #.

I am tired and sore, in a happy sort of way!! Funny, you can hardly even see the Vist plates in those photos. I broke down and bought a new software program that has the deshaker in it. Once I learn it I will hopefully be able to produce better and faster. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Been allot of these this season. Glad we got a couple cold sunny days in this week. Hope the freezing level drops again. Couple photos from Tuesday. To remind us it CAN happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingaboutcarvin Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I usually avoid holidays or school days off, but since my last planned days up have been rainouts, a early session was desperately needed. Turned out to be a bluebird day with some good stuff out there here and there. I rode the burton split tale for a couple hours and then switched over to the all around board. Best runs were off of Cascade and Vista. Shooting star started out hard and became better around 11am. If anyone goes up Tuesday, hit Cascade first thing and you will be happy. Will be up later in the week/weekend. Later, Dan:eplus2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
