tenorman Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Saw one guy on hard boot with F2 board on the Cut. if this was the board: then it was DAVID. if not then it was probably JOON who is a korean racer who usually rides an SG slalom board and occasionally an f2. however he races on a kessler. i think both DAVID and JOON ride f2 race ti step in bindings. hope that helps you id them. maybe you can recruit young JOON for your team. both are cool and speak good english. unlike most alpine riders i meet they never look down their noses at my burton raceplates or burton alpine boards whenever i bump into them at grouse lol.

pan Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi Tenorman, I was in the lodge and it was foggy out there. Look like he was on a pointy nose board and rode with his daughter. I think I saw an asian rider the other day. Couldn't see what he's on. Grouse's forecast said snowing skies. Hope it will be like this all day and tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Went up yesterday and tonight. Update Feb 20: 1st run down centennial, condition was great. But Olympic chair broken down. So I have to hike 20min to the other side. Did 2 runs on the Cut. Snow condition was soft, but too slow. Easy to carve, but too much people. 20 min line-up. Saw one guy on hard boot, look like a burton step-in with Volki RT 158. Tonight, snow condition was soft, wet and stick on flat. Rain for about 10-15 min. Will go up Wed, Thu, and Fri. Hard boot on Wed and Fri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Update on 22th: The bumps on the peak were too big and too close. I can only ride on the side of the run. Cat track (heaven sake) was very icy and Expo was icy with small bumps Good for working on edging! Update on 23th: Tonight, it was very icy on Peak and Expo. The Cut was better. They had groom the Peak, so all the bumps were gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Update on 24th: It was foggy, visibility was variable at night. Kinda bumpy every where. Only stay for an hour then left. Update on 25th: Uploaded on first tram. Hero groomed condition on The Cut. Did 4 runs then rush to the tram to download before the traffic arrived. Update on 27th: Soft little bumps everywhere. If engaged the edge, the board cut through the snow. On cat track (Heaven Sake), saw an asian rider (light green jacket and pants) on hard boot. Passed him few time. Will go up again this evening and night for hard boot and freeride training. Look for bright orange jacket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pan Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Update March 8: Did several runs on Expo last night. Nice soft condition. Great for carving. Then, gave a freestyle session for snow school on my plate. Did lots of switch and fs/bs 180. Need to practice my switch fs/bs180 more. At the end, it was a fun session. Came back from a session at Whistler. Too tired, will take a break tonight. Will go up tomorrow around lunch for training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pan Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I wonder anyone know the snow condition at Grouse currently? As Cypress opens only on weekends, I may go up to Grouse during weekend days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
