AaronG Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 looks like conditions will be favorable for blowing lots of snow beginning Tuesday of next week. Temps down in the teens for the nighttime. I might be on the carving stick for the first part of the day and then jump over to the carving sticks for that latter half.

Gcarve Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I might be on the carving stick for the first part of the day and then jump over to the carving sticks for that latter half. Sounds like a plan. I'll probably start out on the Carve board, then go to the AM board as things get trenched up......................................by us :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi,It looks like June is a no go:( no snow:( I told Al (Algunderfoot) about this and it looks like he will be up. So this makes three more of us and I let some of the folks in Santa Barbara know as well. Best wishes for a Happy New Year:) Brooke & Carlo Very cool! I guess we know who gets prize for coming the farthest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronG Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ugh! Looks like the temps are going to remain high enough that they won't be able to blow snow! What happened to winter? Sierra snowpack is on 19% of where it should be, spring like temps here in SoCal mtns. Time to dust off thw wakeboard and waterski. 35 off @ 34mph next week for sure!

AaronG Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Luca, wear the appropriate pants with some water repellency in them. Not those things that you had on a few weeks ago. I was having 80s flashbacks with those things. The only thing that could have made them better is if they were day glo colors. At least come up for the apres boarding activities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcarve Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I just checked the weather forcast for Big Bear for this Sunday, the high is forecasted to be 48 daytime. The Saturday night low is supposed to 19, more than cold enough to make snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronG Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 The past few weeks the temps have been getting below freezing at night in big bear valley, on the mtn though it is completely different. There is a huge temperature inversion going on currently with night time temps on the slopes being in the low to mid 40s. A perfect example of this is Snow Valley. SV was able to make snow last night but only in their base area as the higher mtn temps were too high to blow snow. Let's hope that Snow Summit is able to make some snow before Sunday.

Arclite Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 What's going on at Mike's place? Should we bring some longboards and some cones like we did a while back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'll see what i can do about cones. Aaron, I might need a ride up on Sunday if my truck isn't ready - fuel pump... I went up on Monday 1/2/12, and it was fine with me, didn't get slushy, but it was icy. My legs were jello by noon. My lower back is still a little bit sore right now - heh, i'm so out of shape.

Arclite Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'll see what i can do about cones. We have some ghetto slalom cones that we can bring up too. Haven't used them yet, it'll be a good opportunity to try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcarve Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'll bring my GoPro helmet cam, so I'll shoot vids of everyone. Will anyone be bringing any decent cameras to document our carving adventures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronG Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Mike and Andrea have some high dollar cameras. I believe Andrea is bringing his after I talked with him today and Mike may bring his to the hill also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 What's going on at Mike's place? Should we bring some longboards and some cones like we did a while back? and any of those extra decks you might want to part with. I need a grocery getter/street carving deck! Can't wait to ride with everyone! I have no camera but willing to film! I am driving from riverside so if any one wants to carpool from that area, let me know. felice lance at g mail dot com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltie Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Will be heading up for the festivities but will probably need to leave mid-afternoon. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

rjnakata Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'd love to meet and ride and learn a little (a lot) from you all, but duty to God, family and my 7 year old's basketball game say otherwise. Maybe next year...or next life. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfnsnow Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I may, unfortunately, not be making it after all. Since they still haven’t been able to blow snow, it’s hard to justify the ticket expense for both my wife and I. (I should have bought season passes. I will as soon as they go on sale for next year!) As soon as the snow guns are put back in operation or some natural stuff starts to fall I’ll see you up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'll be coming up with lance. Andrea, ill have your coiler. No clue what ill be riding, probably my tommy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I bring a rock board? There should be plenty of snow on the runs. It's just off piste that will be a rock garden ( not that us HB'ers ever go off piste :D ).

KingCrimson Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Rocks dont mess with me anymore. They see all my coreshots and know im not afraid to hit em. Just gotta beat em at their own game. i love launching a race board into bumps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
