Thor VonRippington Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 EDIT: Now posting day and night riding for Sol Vista on this thread (after randomly seeing nine HB riders on the hill last week) Sol Vista is open for night riding every Saturday through the end of the season The cost for a night lift ticket is $10 Open 5-8pm 2 sizes of tubing hills open day and night Newly renovated bar and restaurant (good food) Wood burning open fire pit on the porch (day/night) Not many people ride here day or night... it's like having your own private carve hill There is basically one run (under the lift line) that you want to ride for carving (others are lit, but not as carve friendly) It's a very wide run with excellent grooming... 1,000 vertical feet serviced by a high speed quad There is a terrain park run with the usual jib stuff and a small halfpipe I plan on being there most Saturday nights but will post to this thread Come on over yall...

D.T. Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sol Vista is open for night riding every Saturday nowThe cost for a night lift ticket is $10 Open 5-8pm ... I plan on being there this week 1/16 Apparently they were open last Sat and only 40-50 people were on the hill. There is basically one run (under the lift line) that you want to run for carving (others are lit, but not as carve friendly) It's a very wide run with excellent grooming... 1,000 vertical feet serviced by a high speed quad. Come on over yall... this is intriguing. i'm out for this Saturday. ping me offline and let's coordinate schedules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Justin, Mark, and a few skiers buddies showed up last night. Good turns, beers, and food... I'll be back for more They recently have remodeled the base area and it's very nice It's a very family oriented ski area with lots to do for kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Best $10 I have ever spent. I have to give props to Sol Vista for providing an affordable, night time riding experience. It was vacant. My kids had a blast and we are looking forward to another Saturday evening at Sol Vista. Think Snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor VonRippington Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 For the first hour CJ, BB and me were the only ones on the hill. A few jibbers showed up later but they don't ride the same place we do. Hope some others can come check this place out... lots of fun!

inkaholic Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hope some others can come check this place out... lots of fun! We need to arrange the SVNCS after SES and try to get a bunch of the LCI over there. It sounds like fun. Do you know how much longer SV will be doing the Sat night gig?

Thor VonRippington Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I showed up to Sol V on Tuesday/Thursday and much to my surprise found other carvers there. Keith, Jim and Heather were on my "private" hill just ripping it up! They were on vacation from North Carolina and somehow found Sol V. I had the pleasure of riding with them for two days and had a blast. These guys are the real deal too... sporting original Pure Carve jackets and have carved since the beginning of carve time... true pioneers in our sport. Over these two days... I also saw Carla (local racer/instructor), Del (local instructor), Matt (newly converted), and two other random riders who I had never met that just dusted off their gear from the '90s. In six years, I've never seen another HBer at Sol V unless I dragged them up there myself. I'm not sure what the heck is going on here, but it's for sure cool to see! I talked gear and group rides to all of the above mentioned. If you want more info email me at: ssegress at gmail dot com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
