AaronG Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Probably heading to Summit on Sunday to take advantage of some of this snow they are forecasting. Anyone else interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 +1 I'll be there. I randomly went up on Wednesday. HERO conditions. I could do no wrong. Hands down, the best carving conditions at Summit for the season (at least on the days I've been up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryw Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I will be there, but in red. Its a patrol weekend for me. I will try to get assigned to chair 7, so I can hang with you guys a little.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm gonna setup my 3800 with the raceplates for Sunday (just to try HBs one more time in pow, possibly) and bring both a powder and carving board just in case. Looks like a decent storm brewing for the weekend again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronG Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 just hope we can get up there. Currently Hwy 38 is closed along with Hwy 18 from Snow Valley to the Big Bear Dam. That leaves one alternative, through the high desert and up the backside into BBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullwings Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Finally..another person dumb enough to be entertained by racing! ;) Thanks for all the pointers today. They really helped out, especially once the snow got all chopped up. I was able to bust and cut through all of it. Normally, I'd have a pretty tough time with that kind of chop. Both toe and heel sides felt better today. Took off at 1:30pm, to beat the traffic down. Damn, that was a bad drive. How'd the races go?

KingCrimson Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Popped out of my binding on the last gate of the last race..Ghetto SWs need some refining.. :p I was the only one in my age group so I won all four races, but my times were decent either way. Terrible racing snow. I got bucked in the GS and landed flat on my back with a heelside EC recovery. Cost me all of 3 seconds. I saw you on your last run, your toesides were cranked about evenly with your heelsides if not better, that was cool to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw you on your last run, your toesides were cranked about evenly with your heelsides if not better, that was cool to see. Yeah, the snow was too soft for racing/carving after the first 2 hours of the day. I imagine the course got pretty deep and moguled up. Still, it was good practice. Yeah, my last run (if you're talking about around 1pm, since I thought I heard someone call my name), my leg (front left) was toast. It was on fire and twitching. The snow was tough on the legs, and the pointers you gave me got me deeper in the carves and more stable at speed - thus, more Gs and even tougher on the legs. As for everyone else up there, where'd you all go? Mike, Celine, Mary, Jenny? I took two runs with Theo on Miracle, and after that headed over to chair 7 and 10 (mainly 7).

I took two runs with Theo on Miracle, and after that headed over to chair 7 and 10 (mainly 7). I rode down to sign up for the races, but missed it by 5 minutes Oh, well...next time. I pretended to race next to the course on the BX board, got my jollies that way. Maybe there's another race up here before the end of the season. We ended up riding miracle a couple of times looking for our neighbor, then headed over to the far west side for some POW riding...where Celine did a somersault and hurt her knee. That cut the day short. I would have let you know, but didn't have your # (maybe PM me with it). See you this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 BX board would have been good for the GS course..It ended up banked anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissracer Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I watched quite a few people boot out in the turns due to the deepish snow. Still looked like fun though. One of these days I'll get to race :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
