Neil Gendzwill Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I'll be in Sun Peaks Mon-Fri next week (Feb 16-20). So if you see a hardbooter all in black, say hello. Maybe we can make some turns together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarsden Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Too bad our dates didn't coincide, I just finished two weeks here. I think I was the only carver on all these wide open groomed runs. - Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bora20 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I will be on my home mountain on hard boots on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 There were a couple hardbooters there. Talked to one patroller who said he gets out on a 192 Tanker. Sean Cassidy from Snowperformance has a condo there and was out same week I was, so we rode together quite a bit. Saw a guy passing by on some kind of freeride setup with plates too. And of course the whole Austrian team was there that week prepping for the Olympics, digging trenches suitable for burying any bodies you might have lying about. I hope to get back, I had a lot of fun, great hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I like Sun Peaks a lot. It's just a shame that it's a bit difficult to get to from AB. Glad that you got to ride with Sean. He's a fun guy, even if he does have a knack for getting me into trouble.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 That sounds like a story that needs telling. Normally I would suspect the other way 'round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bora20 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I will be at the bottom of the sunburst chair at 11:00. red coat grey helmet I will be on the bottom part of the 5 mile most of the day, unless I get it right away. I will be in a black jacket, yellow pants, and mirror goggles. I will be the one on his ass in the hard boots looking ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyrail Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 hey how did the day go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bora20 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 It went good and it was nice to meet you. We rode until 1:30. Right until I could feel my front thigh anymore. I was getting the hang of the backside carves a bit better, but it was really busy and I didn't want to get hit crossing the easy runs. My feet felt good, even with not being in hard boots for over 15 years. They are a bit narrow, so I think that the UPZ boots might be a better fit next year:eplus2: I swapped the bindings over to my freeride board to give that a shot on Saturday. If it doesn't work well, I will swap back to the other in the parking lot. Overall, it was really fun and I am sore everywhere, so I think it is working:biggthump I am pretty sure I am hooked....this is going to get expensive...again.

energyrail Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 after my first couple of days trying to carve the board on steeper terrain. I gave up on that and just tried to get comfortable skidding the board. Cause at first i could carve it but skidding was difficult. Anyway I think that paid off in the long run.

snowboardworm Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 i suggest silverstar mtn, Vernon BC in late jan, early feb. i do a race week there every year and the groomers are wide open and never crowded. i was going to do an extra week or 2 there on top of my week racing. i know 2 carvers that call SS their home. If you're into gates they hold the "Over the Hill" race every year around the first week in feb. the 2010 OTH was canceled due to the olympics but should be back for 2011.
