west carven Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 howdy all wow! after yesterdays wind blowing dump all day and last night no new snow made for a great groomer day. had a feeling it was going to be good so brought out the big gun. high overcast in the early morning than fog slowly creeping down in the afternoon. snow conditions were perfect for carving, that new snow covered the polished ice. we are on the edge of it could be good or bad, rain/snow. forcast is more rain/snow by thursday. rode my coiler pr2 186 from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 howdy all there were three inches of new snow on some areas and an inch on others depending on when it got groomed. should have brought a powder board, would have been more fun. snowing in the early morning than really foggy and freezing fog on goggles than cleared and the sun came out about one, got surfy in the sunshine. rode my fp171 from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 howdy all well kinda of a sleeper day, kinda knew it was going to be ok, but it was way better than i expected. eds was pretty close to a perfect day. and knew buster was going to be here, but brudda dane and kram showing up made for a great mini session and johnasmo and angry rick shows up, even better!. i kinda had a feeling that the new snow yesterday would make for a good carving day today, if you all were here today you would not be disappointed. riding by myself on my own speed id fun, but riding with the guys with the same stoke. one of the funner days. rode my 160 speed from 9 till 3:30...

west carven Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 howdy all another great day riding with the crew. high overcast in the early morning than fog slowly creeps down in the pm than snow. good carving conditions from the top till midway down than gets alittle icy firm. temps were cool enough to keep things firm all day, i think tomorrow will be really good with the new snow mixed in. forcast for friday is 60 degrees, hope things dont fall apart. rode my 160speed from 9 till 3:30...

west carven Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 howdy all had to work in the morning, but got cut loose around noon. got on snow about 1pm. foggy from the top till halfway down and lightly snowing. very wet and bumped up when i got there. there was three inches of new snow and i found a few spots that were untracked over the groom and it was sweet butter, but the rest was chew up junk. made a few runs and call it early. rode my fp171 from 1 till 3...

west carven Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 howdy all didn't go up saturday cause it was raining here in town and it looked foggy up there. sunday had to work and woke up to two inches here in town. the snowreport reported eleven inches in twenty four hours and five inches overnight. today foggy on top then creeps down all day and lifts around four in the afternoon. it snowed all day with tiny flakes, but still accumulated to a few inches. this morning a light dusting over icy firm then a little soft and wet, but still very carvable all day. it was cool enough that it never got wet and there was no rime. did a face plant about two thirty where toni matt turns into the bench run. i got to close to the edge where its soft and buried the nose, maybe a stiff neck tomorrow. rode a new to me xeena 159, made about six runs than figured i had to move the bindings back then found the sweet spot. has the right flex for me and it was a blast to ride. rode my xeena 159 from 9 till 4...

two_ravens Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hey West carven, Hope you guys are planning to have sweet snow groomed up all nice and pretty for us on closing weekend! I'll be up by Friday evening, and maybe a few others will be rolling in too (Allee, BigDogDave, maybe even Grayontray...?:)) Had tons of fun last year - looking forward to seeing the gang & getting in some turns with the Whitefish crew again! Cheers! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 howdy all well!, today we had it all, fog, sunshine, wind, snow, warm, cold and it would change every chair ride. there was about two plus inches in the village and about five plus inches on the summit. it was cool and never got wet, there was a good wind from the west northwest and it kept refilling the top part of the face under chair one. i was doing laps under chair one all day and it was good, one of the better powder day for me. if it doesn't snow tonight tomorrow will be perfect groomers, but i gotta work, but i'll be slow and i may go later in the day. forcast is more snow wenesday night thru thursday then drier on friday and more sun on saturday and sunday. i think it will be a great closing weekend. i'll be up there on saturday and have to work on sunday. rode my amp5 softies from 9 till 4...

west carven Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 howdy all had to work in the morning, but got cut loose around 12pm. got on snow about 1pm. looked foggy and or snowing all morning from town. fog was midway down, but lifting as i got on snow. first few runs my legs were hurting from the past two full days. eds was bumped up really good with piles as high eight inches. after i got my legs back and put the board on edge i could cut thru the piles, did a few hip checks and spun a couple of times, same thing on toni matt. should have brought the softies, but wanted to ride the xeena 159. it is a great ride and it will be ridden alot next year. rode my xeena 159 from 1 till 4...

west carven Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 howdy all had to work in the morning, but got cut loose around 12pm. got on snow about 1pm. looked like the big was snowing as i left work, just a passing shower. the sun came out and it was sunshine as i got there. eds looked like it was 9:30 in the morning, must have been icy, there were only lightly skied off snow. there was only a few people on the lift. the top of chair 2 was really icy firm, but eds was just right at 1pm and by 2:30 the bottom was getting soft. met up with the montucky boys and tried to keep up on toni matt. glad i got to go up today it was a good carving day. rode my xeena 159 from 1 till 4...

west carven Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 howdy all beautiful bluebird day on closing weekend. the frontside was really icy firm and was hard to get an edge in so started the day on the backside with the crew, allee, two ravens, bigdogdave, notarealname and me. did a few runs than went back to eds and it was already getting soft and carvable. it was spring slush by 2pm, i didn't stop for the pond skimming and kept riding till closing. don't know how dreadman and johnasmo did. well, it was a great season with some good powder days and alot of good carving days. got to ride 72 days and about 1,700,000 vertical feet and did not get too beat up, so it was a good year. i hope everyone who came to the big had fun here and are planning to come back next year. have a great summer and will see you all soon... rode my 160 speed from 9 till 4...

west carven Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 howdy all had to work in the morning, but got cut loose around 11. got on snow about 1pm. my boss was cool enough to let me enjoy the last day of the season. wasn't the greatest carving day, but it was good just to putt around. high overcast kept things cool and it was polished ice on the frontside then it warmed up and got slushy. so the final tally is 73 days and 1,720,790 vertical feet and ranked at number 22, good times... well, i guess its time to shine the boards and put um away, till next year... rode my xeena 159 from 1 till 4...

two_ravens Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 So great to ride with the Whitefish crew - thanks for an awesome closing weekend!!! BDD and I drove all night (both ways!) to share turns with West Carven, Ohob, Angry Rick, Dr D & son, Allee and all the usual suspects... Even got to say hi to skwalguy in the parking lot! (not in Skwal Bunny costume though - maybe next year!) Thanks for arranging good snow and sun (2 out of 3 days at least - not bad!!!) Looking forward to seeing you all again next year - and maybe more girls and more canucks next time?!?! We can hope! :biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnasmo Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Don't let closing day fool you.

BigDogDave Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 A bit late on the post...but BIG THANKS to all the the local Big Mountain carving crew. Great to see and ride with everyone again. Big congrats to good friend and mentor Dredman, for skimming the pond in winning style. The Big is a fun Mountain and we had 2 of 3 good days of carving. So the mountain closes and the snow keeps coming...Thanks John, for more fun videos of northern Montucky powder. Was Dave looking for something in that tree well?? To the local carving crew of Big Mountain and visiting fellow carvers from across the northern border, be well,,,,,till next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
