Wun Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 hot dog. maybe i will get to ride with you after all this season. it's pathetic. since early january, i've either been slammed with homework or the weather was bad. tons of severe weather warnings issued; i couldn't even make a trip during spring break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Carving Gooding Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi Wun I wondered what happened to you. Come on out. No matter what the snow is like it will beet Cleveland.

SEJ Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 HES! I'm up. I've been knocked out of my last couple boarding trips. Think I could do this! I've been out of town for over a week. What's the weather done? Is there still a pile of decent stuff up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawdzira Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I just left Heavenly on Wednesday. I rode Tuesday and Wednesday. It was getting progressively warmer. On Wednesday it was sunny all day and by 12:30 is was really soft. The grooming was great and with it getting soft you have to make sure to wax appropriately. With the long run outs at Heavenly when moving across state lines the snow was grabbing a lot. I even had the shop wax my board in the morning and the snow was grabbing. That might just mean that the wax in the shop at Heavenly sucks? There is plenty of coverage throughout the resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Carving Gooding Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for the info. With all the snow I figured coverage would be good and i would have a couple hours in the morning of firm carving snow. If I get lucky and the weather stays cool I will be in heaven. What ever it is its better then the snow in my home town. Can you come back up gawdzira? loking forward to riding with you SEJ. I start at stagecoach lodge first chair to take advantage of firm snow. See everyone on the 15th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gawdzira Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Have fun up there Steve. I will not be coming up short of an act of Congress or a winning lottery ticket. Actually with a lottery ticket I could bypass Congress. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wun Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 well, school strikes again. got slammed with a project due this weekend. how depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEJ Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm trying to get Friday off work, I'll know more tomorrow. I have an obligation Saturday night, so I'm hoping to ride Friday and Saturday morning. Kendrick, I'm hoping to get your Madd buttoned up tonight. Interesting situation. It turns out the X wing is not epoxied on, they used a form of double sided tape to mount it. I'm working through this as we speak. I'd be happy to ride up together if your schedule fits mine. Stagecoach is my favorite starting point, Haven't entered from the California side in decades. Plus, they make killer bloody marys there. Scott BTW I was up last weekend and it ROCKED! It got a little sticky Sunday PM, but other than that it was like riding in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Carving Gooding Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Sorry to here that Wun. Good choice school is more important. I herd last week was killer. I just hope I get one day like that. It was snowing today so we have that going for us. Hope to see you Friday SEJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEJ Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Looks like I can make it. Weather report sort of sucks. Might rain. Oh well, we will do the best we can. Like I said, Stagecoach makes killer Bloody Marys. Plan to drive up Thursday night so I can be there for first chair Friday. When do they actually open? I'll be in a white explorer with a bunch of carving decals on the back window. Looking forward to hook up, Kendrick speaks highly of you. Scott Cell (650) 892 5205 if it works up there. Some times it does, some times it doesn't, depends on where I am in the Tahoe basin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEJ Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm here! I stopped at Sierra on the way up and rode from 2:30 till 4:00. The snow was pretty good considering the warm weather. A few sticky spots but still rode till they shut down. Boy it's melting off fast though, looks a lot different than last weekend. BTW kendrick is out, turns out he can't make it.

SEJ Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I don't want to speak for CCG, but, we had a BALL! Ripped till about 2:00 on Friday. Then rode like Hell till I had to leave around 11:00 Saturday. It was soooo fun to ride with other carvers. Even better, I would call them uber carvers, much better than I. Steve helped me get back in form with one simple comment, and I had the best carving of my season. Steve, Tim, Paul, We need to get together more often. I was damn near crying as I put the storage wax on the boards. Oh well, who's up for water sports? We've got a ski boat and it takes more than the two of us to use it. We're always looking for people to ride with us. Come on! We'll carve that snow 1 more time before it hits the ocean! Thanks again, looking forward to HES next year!

tahoetrencher Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 That WAS awesome. The day before cuban's arrival was cement all day- now that you're gone, Steve, it rained all night. Weather reports be damned, you make your own! Any Heavers out there that think you can't carve Ellie's on a 180 need to sign up with cuban-carving-better-than-gooding next Feb. What happened to Lower Stage on Sat morn was near criminal Paul, Dennis, Darren, Steve, Scott (Travis, Evan): Thanks for the groove. See you next year. I owe you a beer Scott.

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 The weekend worked out well. Sunday weather was like Saturday's but softened up a bit sooner. Stage right was a blast. It was great meeting the new people and ridding with old friends. I renewed the pass for next year $20 bucks off right now. Everyone keep heavenly in mind next Feb It was snowing when I left town heavenly reporting one inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
