fin Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 All right baby, with A-Basin getting crapped on it is time to get this scene going. Honestly, I am not usually interested to make turns until it gets real good but lets get the chat going.....

dhong7 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hey Fin. I know we talked about waiting a bit, but i might have to check out the basin on Friday and get it out of my system. Give them stoner cat drivers a few days to pack down that new snow.... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardfast Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Went up to Abasin today. Best October snow I have ridden on. It was pretty crowded and the snow got bumpy real fast but that did not bother me as I rode my Burton 164 Alp and did not try to make long turns across the hill. The new lift is real nice and was made right here in Colorado. Had to wait about 15 minutes in the single line per run. Rode until about 3 and then bagged it as my legs were getting tired. Ram rod is supposed to be open this weekend. Hopefully they are going to have some of the upper mountain open as well in the next week to 2 weeks? Of course that is if it stays cold? I imagine it will be stupid busy on the weekends until more terrain and lifts are open. I have Sundays and Wensdays off and will be going Wensdays only until things are better. Ride a short board for now and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattj Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I survived my first run of the season. Loveland is not too crowded and the new td3 si are doing well. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattj Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Couple of quick questions: 1. Anyone going to a-basin on Thursday? (4 nov) 2. Will it be crowded? I'm at loveland today and the tribes of straightlining ski racers is scaring me. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowboardfast Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 It is somewhat crowded at Abasin. Rode there today and had fun again. Short board Oxygen 164. Rode with Shredder Jen. She will be up on Thursday as well. It was not as crowded as last Wensday. It s going to be busy until more terrain and lifts open up at Abasin and other resorts. Just ride slower and do short radius turns down the hill and don't try to carve all the way across the hill when it is busy. That is why I ride shorter boards this time of year. I also look around while I am riding to avoid hitting people. Again the shorter board is eaiser to ride and will let you do this when needed. Sometimes it is good to stop and let the run clear a little bit. Doing short radius turns right down the fall line is good practice for riding moguls and steeper terrain when it becomes available.

Michael Pukas Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Nah, break out the big boards and just go faster than everyone else and you'll be all set. That way you only have to worry about people in front of you. Yeah, and then you'll end up in a saga like Fin and the Keystone Speed Poilce last year!

dhong7 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 If there is any new snow early next week, I'm down for riding tues, wed, or Thursday. Some other resorts are opening, so hopefully that will thin out the crowds. I'll call you Monday Mark. DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Ace* Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I need a snow fix. Just booked some air to come out Thursday November 18, 2010, maybe catch an hour or two at Abasin if I am lucky. Ride Friday, Saturday, half day Sunday, more than likely at Abasin everyday, possible Loveland Sunday. Leaving Sunday November 21, 2010. Come out and RIDE! Who is in?

mattj Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Snowman, Stacy and I should be boarding on Thursday. Are you going to be at a-basin? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickythecat Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 <!-- / icon and title -->Tried Keystone today. What a joke! 1/2hr wait at the only lift. Once on the snow, just wanted to get down the hill without getting hit. Glad I was on a regular snowboard though. Did one run, then headed to A-Basin. NO COMPARISON! - Parking, better snow, no lines, new high speed quad, familiar lifties, and a Snowman sighting! Cat and I hope to be at the Basin again tomorrow - this time in hardboots,(Cat on skis). Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
