Erik J Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm starting this thread for those planning on riding at Mtn Creek. Instead of having several different posts, this may simplify things. Post when you are riding. I'll be out tomorrow morning 1/8 around 9:30 or so trying to get my broken self to loosen up and make a decent turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 North & Granite were good this morning, not great, but good. Devil's Bit is open but a little rutted. Zero G was my favorite of the day - good chalky hardpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtslalom Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Be back on monday morning...sport the madd and giving carving lessons to my wife - her second time out. and she is doing awesome.Happy to hear the misses is getting into carving. My wifes skiing days are over and I don't think she will be on a board any time soon but she still comes out to watch the kids ride. I rode from 8 - 11 am today (Sunday 1/10) at MC north and Granite Peak. I rode zero-G, Devils Bit and what used to be called Upper and Lower Straightaway. Conditions were superb for carving. The snow was like a firm styrafoam. I'm heading up to Belleayre on Wednesday to ride for the day. They have $20 lifts every Wednesday during January. I've got room for 2 more people if any one else would like to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtslalom Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Belleayre has $20 lift tickets every Wednesday during the month of January. Also Once a month on a friday they have 1/2 price tickets and there is some other deal that you can ride free on your birthday. If your b-day doesn't happen during the winter they match it to a day sometime during the winter so you can still ride free. Make sure to peruse their website because there are all sorts of deals going on. Joe, sorry you can't make it but make sure to post if you plan on going up there as I will do the same.

jtslalom Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not to bust chops cafercr but it was great. The snow was perfect with about 2 inches of fresh snow from the night before. We did a few runs in the glades and it was nice but most of the time we were on the groomers ripping turns. I did meet up with another carver on a burton deck with hard boots. Can't remeber his name but it was fun riding with him for a run. Over all it was a great day. It would have been nice if you were there. Next time dude.

jtslalom Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I rode from 3:30 to about 6:30. Conditions were pretty good. A little on the soft semi-mushy side but definately carvable. I rode with a bunch of guys that I once had for students in high school. WOW, these guys could catch some wicked air. They could also carve. It was pretty cool to see. I won't be out this weekend but for maybe the Sugar slope with my kids. See you next week on Monday night. Joe we should try to pick a date for Belleayre and hopefully others will join. i can't do anything for the next two weeks but maybe towards the beginning of February.

cafercr35 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I was just making turns in my head as I was reading how good the conditions were....lol I will be at Creek north with my wife and friend at 8am. I will also be meeting my 16 yr old nephew who is on hard shells for his second season. Hope to see other out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Creek was really nice this morning. Just a little soft with good groom. ZeroG was sweeeeet. It's been tough for me getting out on a consistent basis. I keep all of my equipment in the car now so I can steal a few runs between busyness. I might be able to swing a Wed up-north trip if you guys decide on a date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtslalom Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hey Cafer, First session was pretty good. The snow at north is very inconsistent. They blew snow in some places and it is soft but in others it's a little hard. Zero-G was a little hard but definately carvable. I rode it every run until 3:50. It was nice not to have a zillion people dive bombing the slope. I actually felt comfortable carving good lines and using transition. I don't think I will be out at 6:00 though. I am taking my daughter their in 5 minutes for about an hour or so and then we are going to a basketball game. However, I am looking forward to riding with you Sunday morning. I will definately be there first lift in the morning barring any rain. I will call you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
