Ryanh Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 New hardbooter here. Trying to learn on my own but would love to get some tips from experienced carvers as I make the switch. Any milwaukee or Chicagoland hardbooters willing to do some riding and informal instructing in exchange for beers? Because of other family ski obligations I am usually at sunburst on week nights and alpine valley on Sundays. Be great to find some experienced riders around.

thebionicman Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ryan if I make it over to West Bend for work this season I will hit you up. I hit up Sunburst once last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thinking of Alpine for Tuesday...... will see if worth opening the season there prior to 10 days at Keystone for New Years :). If I decide to go, will post on Monday. Millen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entoh Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hi Guys. I would like to meet you on the hill. Any of the resorts in southern Wisconsin works for me. I'll try to get my buddies with my. Tuesday doesn't work for me, I have a job to finish. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanh Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks for replies. Great to hear there's some riders around. It would be great to meet up. Drop a line when you know you're going out. And if you happen to be at sunburst on a weeknight or alpine valley on a Sunday, say hi. I'm easy to spot -- red coat, big old yellow f2 board, old red burton boots. Edited January 28, 2015 by Ryanh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Skipping Tuesday, it was raining all day today, so no need to spoil freshly tuned boards before going to Colorado at the end of the week. On the other hand, we will be at Keystone for 12/26 to 1/5, so if anyone happens to be there, we can carve a bit........ Millen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 One of m,y friends, I think he's Midwest Carver on here, rides a lot at Alpine. He's usually on a Burner and is really good. I'm sure he'd talk to you if you stopped him out there. If you ever make it over to Tyrol Basin there's a lot of us here, especially on Monday nights when the beer league and high school racers are out,. On any given weekend there'll be 3-20 of us on the hill. We've actually been building up the high school race league and we've got about a dozen kids on alpine gear that you'll see out on weekends too. Everyone is always friendly and happy to talk to other hardbooters, high schoolers included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entoh Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi Ryan. Are you still planning on going to Alpine Valley this Sunday? I was wondering if snow conditions are good enough to carve, after all the bed whether we had for last two weeks. Please le tme know what you think. I could met you there tomorrow afternoon. Thanks. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanh Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yes. I'll be out there this morning. But I have to leave early in the afternoon. I expect conditions are going to be subpar since the weather's been so warm. At least it's below freezing today. Say hi if you're out today. If not no worries -- I plan to be out there pretty much every Sunday for rest of season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboarderdude Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ryanh, any chance you'll be at sunburst this Friday/Saturday? Coming up from St. Louis for usasa races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanh Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Boarderdude -- I will be at sunburst on Saturday. But unfortunately I have to work rather than ride (keeping gates for the kids ski races that day). If they finish early I may try to get a few runs in.
