Neil Gendzwill Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 hello all new greenhorn carver here, found out about this event a few months ago. i recently finally found my own used racing equipment. i hope to make all 3 days but mainly to attend the clinic. i have no carving experience and tried it a few weeks ago and struggled.The clinic AFAIK is Cory's intermediate session. We need to hook you up with somebody to get you through the basics. There are several guys around who are good at teaching this stuff, just introduce yourself and you will get all the help you need.

Corey Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Willy, welcome! Good timing on getting your equipment! We can dial you in a bit more each day. There are always lots of tips to be shared by all, there are usually some new carvers there learning the ropes. The intermediate clinic may be a little over your head to start with, but you're absolutely welcome to come out and attend. Start with this exercise: http://www.bomberonline.com/resources/Techarticles/norm_part1.html Then move on to this one: http://www.bomberonline.com/resources/Techarticles/norm_part2.html So Steve, the schedule is: Photoshoot Photoshoot Photoshoot Got it! I'll comb my hair. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 thanks guys i sure hope i can get some help with the basics and simple things like equipment setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Willy, show up a little early on Friday. Maybe 8:30? It can take a while to adjust things, and many people are going to be hyper-eager to get out on some great groomed runs right at 9 AM. We usually meet in the picnic table area near the downstairs cafeteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Tat Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 So tempted to start on the NSR on Friday. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantok Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 One more to add to the head count. I will drag along a Prior WCR and Volkl Monocarver (skwal) if anyone needs a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 sounds good corey, i am not sure how much practice runs i will get in cause i am very tempted to bring my camera and get video and lots of pics. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Oh, no, I meant that we can tweak bindings and stuff in the lodge before going out to the hill. If you aren't doing that, never mind! It's a pretty mellow environment; everyone remembers getting started and is eager to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 oh i definitely knew what you meant and will be there to tweak and adjust the equipment setup. i just wasn't sure if there was going to be pics and videos covering the event besides the carve magazine. when i found out about the event i noticed that there was not a whole lot on youtube and only found 4 videos. regardless the type of event i have a tendency to take lots of pics and video.

garybergmann Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Kurt, the arrow is pointing to the nose of your old silber...shows how deep the snow was in places (too close to the trees in this case). You all can guess what happened next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Got home safe and sound. Thanks to all for a great weekend, especially Riceball for the organization, party and daily chauffeur duties, and Allee for the airport pickup. Nice to meet all the new people this year. See you all next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
