west carven Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 howdy all nice soft groomers after yesterdays huge dump of a foot or so as i'm told, had to work yesterday (suck!!!). last night there was the christmas stroll, free wine here and there and later for some beers, so not in the best shape today and took it easy. with the weekend warriors and the soft snow it got bumped up pretty fast. should have brought the softies as there were still plenty powder. hellroaring basin opened today and i bet it was good, oh well still had fun! rode my fp171 from 9am till 1pm...

west carven Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 howdy all had to work today, but got cut loose about 11am. so up to the big, i know it was going to be a soggy mess, but also knew there was some new pow. the higher up you were the better, the backside had softer snow, the top part was pretty good, but as you got lower it was very wet. people from chair 1 were pretty soggy as they got off the lift. as i left around 3:30 it was raining in the village. my last run going thru chair 3 it was really wet and very sticky. i hate to say it, but it's like spring conditions with this big pacific front. anyways, found some soft powder and had a blast. rode my amp5 softies from 1pm till 3pm...

west carven Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 howdy all what a soggy mess!!! got a late start, knew it wasn't going to be any good. everything got soaked, top to bottom, backside was wet and heavy. frontside groomers were wet cement, the seams had some deep grooves, very dangerous conditions. should have stayed home and tomorrow i will not go. only did one run down chair 2 and two runs down the backside. it was icy rain on top and rain in the village. it will take some colder temps and more snow till the big heals itself. rode my fp157 from 10 till 11:30...

west carven Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 howdy all i must be livin right, after mondays break down with warm temps and rain, wenesday and thursday dumps enough to heal the concrete and friday night temps cool down to dry the snow. funny day today, chair 2 was perfect groomers, just a tad on the firm side, but great! chair 1 was brutal high winds with minus degree wind chills from the north. toni matt was polished ice cause the winds blew any loose snow off the surface. had a really fun day on chair 2, smooth carving surface, you guys should have been here. weekend warriors made it a little challenging, families with young kids and ski school and everybody bombing with the fast conditions. it was pretty cold today probably in the single digits. met up with "new dave" and did a few laps. rode my fp171 from 9 till 3...

west carven Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 howdy all started with the sun trying to peak thru the first few hours, then snow. chair 2 is the place to be as the snow is firm and perfect. there were three snow making machines on lower eds so kinda messed up the end of my run. really great snow, the kind were you can really push it. went up to the summit for a break and was really cold up there, so back down to eds. had a great day today. rode my fp171 from 9 till 1pm...

west carven Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 howdy all started lite snow kinda humid foggy on top down to top of chair 2. rime on the goggles and fog made it challenging. snowed all day which added to the two inch overnight, very lite fluffy stuff, but still got bumppy. the groom underneath was nice and even, very smooth. rode a new to me old yellow 178 speed, really good length and flex, had a great time on it. rode my yellow 178 speed from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 howdy all well!, big dave reported 10 inches overnight so all the powderhounds were out as well as the weekend warriors, made for a busy day. rode my softies and rode with my skier friends and rode places that i normally don't go. must have dumped last night cause there were only a few inches on top of the groom. off piste there were knee deep pow. heard yesterday was warm and wet and dumping all day. the snow was really soft and smooth, hard to explain it but, it was easy to push it around, had a surfy feel to it. should start to cool down all next week. i hope it doesn't snow cause when this gets groomed down and the cold temps are here the groomers will be in perfect shape on monday and tuesday, my next days off. rode my amp5 softies from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 howdy all got cut loose from work around 11:15 so up to the big. got on snow about 12:30pm, high winds from the north, so stayed on chair2. as you got to the bottom of upper mullys the wind was in your face and really cold. the groomers were really hardpack and wet and the wind blown parts were icy. it was carvable, but almost on the edge of being too icy. there was a high thin overcast that filtered the sun so visibility was good. forcast is for temps to drop tonight so maybe it will dry the snow and it will be better tomorrow. rode my fp171 from 12:30 till 3...

kinpa Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ok, so I'm assuming for you somewhat local folks (by that I mean the ones that are driving here and staying, not flying in opposed to the truely local folks who ride Whitefish regularly) that plans are starting to come together for this annual gathering. I'd love to get an idea who is going to be there and when. Kram and Schweitzer people? Steve Pro? Calgary people? I will be making the 3 hour drive after work on Saturday (get off work around 2:30pm), riding Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, then heading home Tuesday night to make it work early on Wednesday. Come on guys.... don't wait until last minute.... lets hear those plans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Me and my two buds are driving down on sat the 22nd leaving friday the 28th. I have 3-4 (maybe 5 or 6) if Steve Recsky and Darcy come down on days in that time frame as well. Most likley the sat to wed type scenario.
