Chubz Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Folks Looking for input for this years gathering. Suggesting a Thursday and Friday to allow flexibility for folks and more time together. No formal events, just getting together to ride. It seems February event calendar is pretty chocked full of events that would impede use of Razor and possibly other runs. http://www.skibluemt.com/SkiBlue/calendar.aspx?mode=&selmonth=2010-02-01&selweek=1&location=&type= March is more open with only Nastar on Thursday. http://www.skibluemt.com/SkiBlue/calendar.aspx?mode=&selmonth=2010-03-01&selweek=1&location=&type= Keep in mind, ECES is the week of March 1 and I know a handful of us will be there. Hope to see an even bigger turnout this year. If we get enough, I will contact Bruce at Coiler to see if he would let me borrow a few boards to test ride. Thanks and hope that the season is settling in well for everyone. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafercr35 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Chubz - hope your having an awesome season! I did a belleayre trip this past Sunday and it went well. I was pushing the BMES - most said they will show. I just made plans for Snowbird March 13-20. I will also be hitting the ECES on Friday March 5th. Just for a day trip - can you imagine that - all that driving for a day of carving... no doubt it's worth it. Anyway - I know you didn't pick the date of BMES yes - keep me in mind, I would hate to miss it. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorris Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 My cast is supposed to come off on March second. And the dock said two weeks of PT. So later in march would be better for me. However, i am not sure how it will feel. I hope to be ready for the end of March. But if it turns out to be earlier, I'll do next year.

AMK Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 going to be 5 days at ECES, but BMES sounds great around the end of March. That would be sweet. Never have been riding at Blue Mt. See you at ECES. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Chubz - I'm gonna' try and make it to this - I have a Mt.Hood trip that I still have to work out but I'm thinking that will be early April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 emorris, a friend that I ride with (60 something) at Blue broke his leg in mid December, doc told him the same thing. The first day he was suppose to be at therapy he was at Blue!! When he went back to doc for follow up doc said I haven't heard anything from therapy yet but it looks great, whatever you're doing keep doing it . I told him to save his used lift tickets and turn them in to his insurance company. Lift Ticket $29, Therapy $80/session, look at all the $$ he's saving the insurance company!

emorris Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I want to get back on a board as soon as possible. I guess that as soon as I can get into the boot and put it in a binding without pain, I will back out there. Holding BMES later in march gives me a better chance of being there. But I like that story. Goes with what I was thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzone Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Any update on the dates for this? I guess with ECES coming up all thoughts are on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teach Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 March 11-12 works for me! It would be great to see Blue Mt taken over by carvers. That's the only Thursday/Friday I could make it in the daytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilanferdman Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 been a skier all my life and just got bored with tearing down east coast mtns. so i took up snowboarding this year. i've been riding soft boot setup because no one would rent me a hard boot set. but i really want to get into hard booting. i live in rockland county so can get up to any of the NY mtns or Blue (which is where i actually started snowboarding). would love to go out with a carver to show me the ropes. when you're planning this trip, does anyone have a old setup they're just not using so i can at least try? i have no idea what kind of board i would like, and don't want to put down a few hundred dollars right now on a setup that might not be for me. any help / advice would be much appreciated. ilan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
