kinpa Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'll even let you ride the Fish.:) Ahhhh.... the Fish? Is it the Black/Red one with the mountain on it??? Cause then I'd really have to think about it as that was the same graphic as my very first board.... BUT this girl don't do no softies!!!!! (the last soft boots I had were Burton SI.... still have two pairs of boots and two sets of bindings in the storage shed, but if they ever do see the light of day again, it will only be to go to a new home!)

west carven Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 howdy all big mtn snow report reported 9in. in 24hr. and 6in. in overnight. with cold temps it was really light fluffy pow. the top had more and the bottom not so much, chair 2 gets groomed last so very little on there. i started on chair 1 to get the good stuff and first few runs were good, but still scraping the ice underneath, it was champagne powder. some wind blown stuff was knee high and you just plow thru with no resistance. chair 2 looked carvable at my end of the day at 1pm, but i was on my softies. called it early cause the softies tired me out. forcast is more pow wed. thru fri. with warmer temps so better snow... we'll see... rode my amp5 from 9 till 1...

Allee Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Winter weather advisory : "A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE PRIMARILY TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING." Not gonna be a fast trip. Thinking that leaving early might be a good call.

johnasmo Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 We had nachos there at 4:15. Looks like we'll be doing the Northern tomorrow night (Sat). Got a house full of guests, so it's not likely we'll make chair two at 9:00 AM, but I'll be looking for you. Haven't hardbooted all week, but just got a new package from Canada, so tomorrow will pry be a carving day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west carven Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 howdy all got cut loose from work about 11am so up to the big, got on snow at 1pm. foggy from the top of chair 2 and pretty thick at times. snow was wet-n-heavy, but very carvable. took it slow in the beginning than pushed it pretty hard. it wasn't too bumped up, but still got rattled around. if it doesnt snow tonight it should be very good tomorrow. forcast is it might rain than snow later in the day. a big pacific front is pushing thru with warm temps and rain. rode my 165amt from 1 till 4:30...

west carven Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 howdy all first day of wtf 2012, a little warmer and a little wet and a little snow. great to see the gang again. today not the best carving, first few runs were good then things got bumped up really fast with the soft snow and high traffic. the warm front should past and the cold air should be back. today the fog was really thick with all the humidity. i think tomorrow will be very good. rode my 165amt from 9 till 3...

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 WTF Day two was sweet. Nice hero cord. 9am start for most of us . We did see everyone before noon. My 182 Carbomonster treated me well today. I road until my legs said no more. Then I went for two more. We started the day in the clouds about halfway down and the sun made a great day even better.
