Corey Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'll be there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Barring work/life getting in the way, I will be there. Sadly SES is not to be for us this year, NES will have to be my sole carving buddy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Tat Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 After Nakiska sold season passes for ~$200 ish this year I expect most weekends will have the potential be a gong show. I'll be up on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Look forward to riding with you guys. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riceball Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I have been talking to Nakiska Events staff and hope to have the event up in their Events Calendar soon. I have been out there twice so far and the conditions haven't been that great. Hopefully things will improve with the new snow and cooler temperatures. I hope to get out there this week, if I ever get over my holiday flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Can't wait. I have a new heelside after my trip to Wyoming, and I am looking forward to trying it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdyno Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 The event is posted: Friday, January 16, 2015 : Nakiska Expression Session 2015 Every January a group of Canadian snowboard carvers get together and congregate at a Nakiska, ski hill in Kananaskis Country, Alberta. This hill is where the 1988 Olympic Alpine events took place. The Naksiska Expression Session (NES) is in it's 8th year and sees riders from all over western Canada attend. Steve (Riceball) Recsky coordinates the event, takes photos and opens his home to everyone on Saturday night for picture/video viewing, pizza and beer. If you are interested in attending this hard-booter event, you can contact Riceball via the Bomberonline Forum or just show up and ride! This event is organized independently of Nakiska and RCR. For more information please contact Steve Recsky at 403-389-6462 or steve.recsky@first4db.com http://www.skinakiska.com/things-to-do/eventsDetail.aspx?e=3578 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybergmann Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Was out there today...started puking snow at about 3 and they fired up the guns at the top of Upper North Axe. They need it! North Axe was actually pretty good...about four hardbooters (including me) trenching it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdyno Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I was out today, the snow is horrid. They were grooming Ralley alley, it might be open tomorrow but Upper North Axe is still piled up and in need of some work. Legacy also looks like a MTB trail with trees everywhere but they did have one gun going. The last few days have dropped small amounts of snow, but just enough to make dust on crust. You best bring your skates for Mighty Peace as it is a solid slab of ice. I didn't hit the upper mountain as the racer kids were up there and there is dirt showing everywhere else and besides, I was trying some new twin skwals. Yeah, that's what I'll call them.

Corey Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yikes. Is Louise an option if Nakiska still sucks next week? Or does it have similar suckage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Not much at the Lake. Sunshine has a better base right now but none of them are looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdyno Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 It's supposed to be -19 tomorrow and then +8 on Wednesday, don't forget to pack your skates boys....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti_knee Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Unless the conditions get dramatically better, I'll probably not come up this year, but if I did it would probably only be either Sat or Sun. I did get in on the $200 pass though, so once things get better, I would look forward to a day out. I'd be interested in getting some of the intermediate types together with a video camera to have a day to slow down and work on technique.
