Ray Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Who else will be there? Would you know about any good shops (who know about our carving stuff) to visit in Whistler? Dave, hope to find you! Any particular runs you are at most? Thanks Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Fanatyc: http://www.fanatykco.com/ sells Prior boards including ones with points at the front. They also stock Catek Olympic stuff, boots etc. It's kind of back from the main slope a fraction, next to a good coffee shop ("behind the grind" or some such). I'll be there once I'm done with the powder, in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtanner Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Yeah Prior is there. I will be in Whistler between the 28th and the 2nd, and Chris has offered plant tours anytime between 8:30 and 5pm which would be pretty neat to check out (check the website for the address and phone number)...plus they also offer some demo boards for only $25/day. www.priorsnowboards.com -Gord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 So I got back from Whistler last week to spend New Years in Mammoth. It’s really sad to see that some resorts still need snow (lots), and others just get to much all at once. Whistler was a bit disappointing in terms of conditions… pretty icy and many rocks are just not covered yet. Pretty narrow runs… good for the racing style, not the best for laid out carves. At least the runs I tried… The locals said this has been the least snow in the last 10 years or so… I went to FanaticCo and met Scott, a local racer and Chris Prior as well… pretty cool. So after I got back to CA we drove up to Mammoth… GEEEEZ! Almost the entire mountain was closed due to the storm, just some beginner runs open… MM reported 90 inches up to yesterday and snow to come for the rest of the week… 395 was closed in both directions for a while, so I had to take chances and leave Sat eve. Heard that Sunday the 395 was closed again as well? I mean, I just want to carve… I don’t need all that snows… send it to the resorts that need it! Thursday I will go back to Whistler for four more days (my wife just loves the town)… hope it will be better this time. Anyone up there ?

philw Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 phil...what is it you do that you travel so much. I have to confess that I'm currently unemployed. Seriously I need to get my finger out and find a job before the cash runs out! SWEET photo...can really feel the speed. He wasn't hanging about. I think Dave* was the fastest I saw on the hill. Unfortunately the light wasn't that good. Dave* : Sorry I lost you on Thursday.... I couldn't figure out if you were ahead or behind. Anyway, I hope the rest of the season goes ok... I'm back in the land of plastic ski slopes for now... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
