www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Finally got another powder day in. Storming late morning, low vis but some fun turns. Dumping when I left. Edited February 19, 2014 by www.oldsnowboards.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Should get better and better as the snow level drops to 2500ft by thursday. Yes, we have a near normal base again, everything is open and looking much better, Rock Garden, Showoff both looked really good now. It was getting a bit warmer as I left I think. Couple inches of fresh snow on the truck and it was wet. Edited February 19, 2014 by www.oldsnowboards.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Today was VERY windy and some sleety top layer on the fresh snow where it was wind exposed. All in all the best day of my season so far. Not due to snow condition nor best weather, but good old storm riding at it's best. I went over to SS and it was absolutely blasting wind. Fortunately largely straight down the lift line. This turned most folks away. Leaving those of us that toughed it out to freshies for 6-8 runs instead of 3. Had a blast. Over to Easy Rider to find it completely untracked. Smooth deep and buttery smooth. Good times today!! Clearing on the way. Friday should be excellent too. I think my legs are toast till next week!!

Dan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Saturday looks awesome for carving, think it's finally time for the good boards to come out! I could slip to Sunday though, need to talk to carpool buddies and see what works. Anyone else heading up this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hey Dan if I could catch a ride I'd be up for Sunday... Hey Kelvin, that would be great. I'm most likely not driving myself, so need to check. You have PMs turned off, I think, could you shoot me an e-mail with your address?

Doug T. Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Wanted to give the guys up at Schweitzer a huge thanks for being so great to carve with this week!! Their very welcoming spirit really helped to make my first carving experience at Schweitzer awesome! I rode with Russ, Mark and John on Monday and Mark & John on Tuesday. The carving conditions were near perfect on Tuesday and we rode until our legs couldn't take much more...Hope to get back up there for next year's NICE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Looks like Friday might be the last chance for the week? Plan to call in the am and if it is clear, I am going. Mike T sounds like he may be testing his newest board. Hopefully that means mine is not far behind.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Bright sun on arrival, quickly turned cloudy and flat light, surface was firm with frozen corn on top. Roamed around and found the best carving over on HR. My board was running super fast and even HRM was plenty fast. Warmed and Vista side softened fast. Couple hours of pretty good carving if you paid attention. Mike rode his new 174cm TNT in the am, he let me finish the day on it and it was a blast! Mine will do well to follow. Beat but very happy!!

Dan Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Nice, sounds like a good day! Good thing you got it in today -- I'm thinking I may have to bag this weekend because it looks crummy: forecast for wintery mix on Saturday, and heavy snow (or rain?) on Sunday over ice.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Mike's been working on a couple new "Old Man's Boards" , why do we call them that? Because now that we are officially ARP Riders / Senior Hardbooters, we want something for those firmer, faster days when conditions are not optimal. TNT moves between turns quickly , easily and oh so SMOOOOOTHLY!! Tuneable and lowest plate system means Easy Peazie until you are warmed up and want to CRANK!! Then it will hold edge and resist folding under massive pressure:) Mike got the morning on it and made me follow him around wishing I was on it Thanks for giving me a turn on this sweet carving machine!! Now get on mine PLEASE!!! Edited March 1, 2014 by www.oldsnowboards.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid you are right Dan. I had been eye-balling Friday as "The Day" Then an email from Mike confirmed we were on. Slightly scary fast , hard morning with flat light , however a couple a really nice hours of riding firm corn was well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looks good Bryan! Thanks Jim, first runs were a bit scary, flat light and firm. After some searching I found good surface on HRM. All the photos were when I was on the 185cm and Mike on his new TNT 174cm. Later I was feeling even better riding his new board. No photos of that session unfortunately. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrokel Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hey Dan I'm thinking Saturday too. Let's talk about pooling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Kind of tricky conditions this week. I'm going to try to head up on Saturday, but it depends on the forecast and when it's going to start raining.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yep. I am keeping an eye on Friday. Precip is supose to stop today. If they get it groomed it might again be the best carving opportunity of the weekdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Monday the 16th Windy , cold with freshies! Road the Tanker 200cm. Ran into a guy on the chair that said "What are the chances of meeting TWO hardbooters on the same powder day?" I said " He is no doubt a friend of mine" , He said, he had to drop his daughter off at school." I said "Jim M". :) Funny. Fun day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P06781 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 That's pretty funny Bryan! I rode another chair with him later and he told me he met you! Olds now boards.com (auto correct). Yes very windy but good powder to be found. Might head up tomorrow again if things calm down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
