Thor VonRippington Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Oh yes, I must of forgot. WP, the mecca of quality grooming, and quality snow. Cranmer just isnt my style and Hughes is nothing more that a dedicated race course. But if you say so, it must be the schiz. I ride too much good snow to be concerned with WP. Sad thing is, I can see it out my window. If I want groomers, I choose other options. Think Snow! OK then... we'll just stick with bitter You know how I feel about WP .... good snow this year in comparison though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Marty Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Yeah Mark I can't make the lights either, packing up after 5 weeks in Summit Cove. See ya'll at SES Wed/Thur. Also thanks to Chris and the guys from Germany for riding with me yesterday at Keystone. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Marty - It was a pleasure meeting/riding with you at Abasin for my B-Day carve-extravaganza! (actually just another typical group ride... not like we need another reason to party) Keep an eye on this ride board so we can hook up with you next time you come back. Cheers mate!

Aussie Marty Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Cheers Stan I had a blast. Would love to get you guys down to Oz for some surfing. Hope to catch you n the gang at SES. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhong7 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Going to get there by first chair. A few turns before your long drive to SES. DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arneburner Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thought I would try out Copper Mt.on Tuesday. It was a nice sunny day; cool in the morning, but warming up quickly. Then snow was very firm, icy by Colorado standards, with numerous loose and solid rocks in the snow. Several of the runs had ridges in the groom that would launch you in the middle of a turn. Did some damage to the Virus. I rode from about 9:30 until noon, before I went back to Loveland. Conditions much better, softer snow, no rocks, and no ridges in the groom. It was about 10 degrees colder and windier, but it was worth it. Rode until 3:30 when the runs were nearly empty. It was taco tuesday, with 50 cent tacos, and $2.75 16 oz. PBR, doesn't get much better. Copper Sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhong7 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Feeling a little under the wx, but I am probably going to ride Summit CO Thursday and Friday if anybody is down. Basin most likely. DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFluff Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I am going to be riding throughout the area during these dates and thought I would see if it matched anybodys schedule. A couple of the days are planned but for the most part just plan to go with the flow. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hong - Im shooting for Friday at the basin (19th) if the weather is decent. Sounds like Kress is ready and we could likely drag Steve over JJFluff - Thanks for posting... I'm sure you will have others to ride with as the dates get closer. Us Colorado folk cant seem to make plans more than a couple days out. Check out Loveland on a weekend... good group of folks there and most likely Abasin on a week day. There are few carvers that night ride Keystone mid week. Keep checking back here JJ... Or check the LCI thread for Loveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhong7 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Rode Keystone today. Pretty decent shape. Thought it would be better with the new snow. But still pretty good. Some dude from Texas yelled at me. F*@%ing Texans. I'll be at the Basin first thing. Stan, Kress, Steve, Chris....hope to see you clowns there.

Thor VonRippington Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Montezuma Bowl is opening this Wednesday, February 24 at 9am. We are opening with 17 trails, which is 200 new acres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Basin 2/22. TVR, ACE, KIMO, Snowman gonna take advantage of the sunshine and great conditions! Any takers? Think Snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 So I rode Abasin, Keystone, and Breckenridge today. Abasin was just a tad softer than HERO snow. Should shape up well for tomorrow! Keystone was HERO! Firmer than Abasin. Carvable top to bottom. Breckenridge was bumped out by the time I got there. The light went too. I did happen to spot a semi-virgin powder stash on the side of the terrain park and hit that for a while. BE AT ABASIN TOMORROW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickythecat Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm going to commit and say I'll be at A-Basin tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I don't seem to be getting out lately. I'll be on my KESSLER...........That's right, somehow I scored a new ride Thanks David! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
