Jesal Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Typically more people show up on the Saturday than the Friday. The plan is to run an intermediate carving clinic on Saturday. The primary focus is controlling speed while carving continuously without skidding. Thanks Corey, and I'll be there Saturday then for the clinic. Hopefully i can stay for an extra day.

Riceball Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Woo hoo!

Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyrail Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Cool, seems so official now. I'm hoping to bring a couple who aren't on the forum with me. Not sure If Greg(snowboardworm) is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Tat Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I may have to find another sport now as this one may no longer be niche enough for me. :) Seriously though congrats Steve. And thanks for organizing this every year. Also up for a t-shirt. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Holy cow, Rice, you're right up there with Alpine Canada.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surlyguy Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Found another lost hard booter this weekend at Norquay. Hopefully we'll see a guy named Warren show up. In for a shirt too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyrail Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have a pair of pretty much new Head stratos 27.5 for sale. I will bring them to NES if there was interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Yo NES'rs!!! I'm going to out of town for NES so I wont be able to make it this year (bummer). Just wanted to wish you guys all a Merry Christmas. Corey can you put a pillow in the front of your jacket and get a cut out of my face to wear on one of your better runs when Riceball's shooting? I'd really appreciate if I could get in the carving magazine this year. If Bruce gets in and I dont I will never hear the end of it and it will likley end our friendship.

Puddy Tat Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Damn was looking forward to seeing you rip it up on the horned devil. Have a good Christmas. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really appreciate if I could get in the carving magazine this year. Mom-in-law's mad baking skills have helped close the gap considerably. :( I just need to find a gorilla mask now. ;) Bummer Kurt. There's always next year's NES. Or man up and make it to SES sometime? Pricey, but worth the trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Gorilla mask? Ouch! Bwahaha! Ask Bruce, I'm totally getting way more handsome!! Was at Nakiska today vis was the sh*ts but the snow was great on North Axe. Not very busy either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybergmann Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I was watching them plow and groom North Axe all day yesterday...you got it as fresh as it could be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I was watching them plow and groom North Axe all day yesterday...you got it as fresh as it could be! They were still working on it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti_knee Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 The cat was off of North Axe by about 2 and they looked to be prepping for grooming. It's amazing to watch those guys work. We should toss 'em a case of beer from our crew to hope for nice cord. Urs, not sure if you are on BOL but you were ripping man! I yelled your name from the lift, but I was rocking the softies today and out of my "uniform" red jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 We are getting closer to the 2013 event and based on comments in this thread on on the hill we should have another good turnout this year. Once again you should try and keep Saturday (Jan 12) night open for pizza and drinks at the Recsky household. 78 Springbank Cres SW. Also, post here if you need a ride out to Nakiska. A lot of us are heading up there with empty seats and have room on some days to take other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poutanen Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Also, post here if you need a ride out to Nakiska. A lot of us are heading up there with empty seats and have room on some days to take other people. I'm coming from Airdrie and I'll have a spare seat or two for the Saturday... If anyone needs a lift PM me, I'd like to meet near COP if possible instead of driving into the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surlyguy Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm coming from Marda Loop area in Calgary. Have one seat available at least for Friday and Saturday. Blair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 We should sort out some sort of rideshare for the rest of us too, rather than running a bunch of cars out there. Not looking good on the snow front. I heard this morning that this mild weather is supposed to hold until Jan 14 - no snow in the forecast.

Corey Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've got a car too, but it's a compact so I think just getting a 180 cm board in will be a challenge. I'm up for meeting somewhere on the West side of the city to car pool. Is Nakiska blowing snow? I'll be right at home if it's all out of a gun! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti_knee Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I've got a car too, but it's a compact so I think just getting a 180 cm board in will be a challenge.

We met at dennys by the sandman on 16th one year that worked well. Corey are you staying there again? Pouaten, I live far NW just off stoney if you want to leave car at my place sat? Its exactly 15 min from airdrie... work there. Edited January 2, 2013 by ti_knee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 No, I'm staying by #1 and Crowchild this year at some cheap hotel. But I'll go wherever for a ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
