powell1.8 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 This looks like a very comfortable carver. I'd agree, but look at what happens when he's just a bit off. It's hard to make out in this clip, but someone came down to see if Bobble was ok after slidding out on a heelside. Bobble procedes to knock the guy down and literally pound him into the hill. In this clip he's just packing down the last of the snow covering the poor guy. As angry as Bobble can get he does like to keep the hill in good shape.

bobble Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 This looks like a very comfortable carver. thanks but actually i'm doing one-arm pushups in front of the camera. chicks dig it. I noticed before, how huge Bob's left hand is. Is that a specially made glove Bob ? carving gauntlets... dakine gloves from REI and the Kombi glove protectors. they might look bigger from the snow packing under the Kombis. i liken my gloves to astronaut gloves. the only thing missing are the metal coupling rings. after a day of riding the gloves become so stiff from snow pack that i can't use the fingers to pick things up or pull the step-in release.

BobD Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Looking much better for Wednesday. Two, maybe three nights of frozen grooming before, and some blue skies BobD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trent Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 great day yesterday! thanks to everyone who came out to play! :) the bar is raised for next year... we had 20 riders, and a few of us stayed until 7. it's now a tradition. ;) i'm very tired today, but still smiling. i'll get the group shot up soon, and work on getting the video i took posted somewhere. -trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trent Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 here's the group picture. bobd left before this was taken, we'll photoshop him in later. i also noticed after lunch, that the only equipment in the racks was carving gear! i've got 20 minutes of video. borrowed a friends hi-def camcorder... it's not playing nice with my computer right now. i'll get something posted once i can get something watchable.

Bubba Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Had a blast again....left shortly after the group picture. Don't know what it was, but I could not get warm even after being in the chalet at lunch. Made a few painful runs and decided to pack it in. Toes finally thawed out when I hit Rochester. It was all good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedzilla Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Got some pics posted here. I wasn't too thrilled with the photos, the lighting was very tricky with sun coming from behind coupled with the dark colors most people wear. I'm sure I missed some of you, sorry about that.

powell1.8 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Really nice pics. There are a few jems in there. I particularly like the shot of the trenched up run with a carver silhouetted on the top of the run. I also am impressed at the sharpness of the images. Now I'm regretting not taking some time out to take a few pics. I just couldn't bring myself to break away from riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
