nekdut Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Hey All, Lets get some SNES dates on the calendar so we can start planning at least. With the temporary June closure, unfortunately we will need to resort to showing up early at Mammoth Chair 2 parking for good spots and tailgating; Mammoth management unfortunately does not support SNES to the same extent the awesome June crew did , but we'll make do this year for now. They do not want any active demo tents or visible board share unless we provide proof of liability insurance, let alone a closed run or a race course :rolleyes:. For now how do the weekends of 3/9-10 or 3/16-17 sound to everyone? Weather can be a factor at this point in the season, so I am not against leaving this somewhat open so that we can hit the best carving conditions. Since we aren't asking June management to provide all of the great support they have previously, we have some flexibility and all we really need to do is show up and get there early for good parking to allow board share. Let me know your thoughts and we'll get this scheduled. Thanks all! :D ____________________________________ Starting roll call for 3/16-3/17: 1) nekdut - neil 2) wgarrow, will +1 3) Tim Kienitz 4) 2stroke 5) barryj? 6) Arclite - Julian 7) carvingchef - Andrea 8) Thomas 9) Wolfman - Rolf 10) breesj - Joe 11) SnowAndSurfAddict +1 12) Miltie + family - Tom 13) ?

Gcarve Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Either weekend sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey John Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 3/9-10 would be my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgarrow Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 My wife and I can make 3/16-17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Will make any weekend happen, SNES RULES!! lets plan to park together on the right side (skier's left, from top) of the Stump Alley parking lot. Close to the tree line. This will keep us away from prying eyes somewhat. I am afraid that we might get some attention from some Mammoth Hosts who take their job a little bit too serious when we amaze the crowd with our carving awesomeness. Since we are a more mature and respectable group. we should be OK. Until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nekdut, thanks for starting this up. I can make the 9th & 10th. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeseomatic Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Subscribing to keep informed. It would be awesome to meet up some "local" carvers. I have a season pass, so I can buy a friend and family day pass for one person saving close to $30. All I ask is for a few pointers and some beers afterwards. For me, either weekend can work out.

slopestar Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 3/16 weekend best for me. I want so badly to be there!!!!! it has been an injury season for me so far along with some personal issues most recently. i expect to be healthy and settled well before but 3/16-3/17 would be sweet!!

KingCrimson Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Im probably working, but ill request it off. Either way I'll be on sidewinders and a donek plate on my PJ6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kienitz Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I will be there. Hey Theo, Do you have the new Donek AF plate? If so, do you like it? I've been riding my Tinkler the last couple of weekends at Mammoth and I've decided I do NOT like the Tinkler plate. I do not like the response delay and the bump absorbing is negligible. I rode the Tinkler without the plate and it is MUCH better. I would buy the Donek if it is better because of my bad knees. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have the A plate. I've seen and played with the af plate but never ridden one. Its a cool concept and from what Will Garrow has told me a much better approach to the slider style plates like Vist and Tinkler. My new Apex slalom board with its integrated vist knock off is super responsive, and its bump absorption isn't anything amazing, but chatter and skittering aren't even noticeable. The a plate takes a ton of response out of the board but on a big stick it doesn't matter and you can do stuff like skim over the tops of moguls. Let me know if you're ever in town midweek, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hey everyone, if I'm hobbling around a bit better by then, I'm going to bring my D3000 and post up at the bottom of stump and snap pictures for everyone. I'll try to borrow one of the bigger lenses from work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Does anyone have a beach chair they wouldn't mind bringing? I'm serious about showing up with my camera and plunking myself at the bottom of the run. My leg is definitely good enough at this point, and I would love to shoot you guys. I'm pretty good at it!

slopestar Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am now leaning more towards 9/10. anyone? kind of hard since many of you guys went to SES and are feeling the burn... Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm heading up the last weekend in March. Probably wont make any SNES event unless it is that weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 any solid dates yet? I will have a couple March trips planned and at this point the dates are a bit in the air. I could give up a run or two to shoot stills from on the run as well. Theo the lenses from work any longer than 200 or 300? I use an old 210mm f/4 on my Sony does OK for action.

barryj Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hey, Can I come down and play? I just met a couple of you guys at SES. Would love some more pointers. What's the definitive March dates and the agenda?? I'm tha big guy on the Black Virus Avy FLP AFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I am down in san diego for a different medical problem, but I really need to get back to work and probably can not take the day off, sorry guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Personally leaning towards the 3/16 weekend, but I can be swayed. I'd like to hit the weekend that has the least weather for good carving (though some more snow would certainly be welcome, too dry lately!). Thoughts? Based on the posts above, I think I see more votes towards 3/9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I will be up there the weekend of 3/16. I wont be up there the weekend of 3/9. Tried for both weekends but cant get the cabin 3/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Anybody got some floor space to crash Fri. or Sat. night?? I'll drive down from Squaw. I'm told I don't snore, Scouts Honor! BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
