DonPablo Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 How's the Epicday lift ticket thing work? I have a card from last year, so I just sign online and buy tickets? Do I still need to go in and get the physical ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUD Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Step 1: get slalom skis ^^This^^ Talk to Bob Dodds. He has a VAST assortment of carving skis..... I has a set of Rossi GS boards (18M) if you want to carve like that going mach 2 (not really). They hook up like nothing I have ever skied, I can't imagine what the short radius slalom skis would be like. They have a plate, so they would be easy to mount up.

Scuff Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sorry to show up late to the thread. Will try to save space by replying to everything all at once... Yes!! Can't wait to ride with you all on Wed. Wonderful news that #7 is back on the docket for hit-abale terrain. We have USASA alpine race at Afton on Sunday, and will be great fun to get a preview and race at a new location. SES/ATC is out for me as well.. (Next year..) Re: Skis..was just thinking my 177 skis have more of a GS shape and my ski boots are sloppy-huge. Anyone want to trade gear? Sun Feb 21st I am planning to make a day trip somewhere..Spirit?, Mt Kato? Don't know yet, but you are invited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonPablo Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'll bring my skis... we can have a ski party after. I'd let you guys try my slalom skis but there is no way you will fit into my tiny feet bindings. I wish they made all mountain skis with smaller radiuses. They would be more functional at the tiny hills around here. Funny I feel this way with skis but not about my GS board, that works fine here, maybe I just need to learn to ski better...

DonPablo Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Forecast is clear in the morning to party cloudy in the afternoon. 10 degrees the night before, high in low 30s on Weds. Looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobble Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I just hope the cord isn't solid ice in the morning. Didn't go riding at lunch today because it's misting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobble Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 i apologize for the potato quality. extreme hard to shoot in flat light with limited zoom. i got a lot of crappy out of focus pictures. first round of pictures i took at 1/1000 and they were all white. glad i switched to auto. for next time...i think what makes for great photos are the following: a better photographer than me. sun, sun, and more sun. having trees in the background. wish we had a banner or something in the background. that would be cool. carve across the fall line towards the photographer. too many people where zipping past too fast. get aggressive. fall down in front of photographer. i don't see why this is a difficult request. c'mon... if i can do it... i can even do it without trent aiming his camera. come close to the photographer... about 10 - 20 ft. bright colored clothing. high on edge to display the bottom of board. this is mandatory. cheezy pointing at photographer or thumbs up are always expected and appreciated.. ... but no tongue wagging. i hope trent has better pictures. he's got more than 1K to sift through.

trent Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 thanks for the fun day everyone! it's going to take me a few days to get some picts posted. i took 1100+! i quickly went through them, and it's down to 600. sheesh, i've got to get A LOT better at shooting; the "spray-and-pray" method is filling my hard drive. ;-) plus, i don't know if mine will be much better than bob's. the light really sucked! i think i'll try to find the best few shots, and get those posted. maybe i'll load the rest on picasa or somewhere so if you're inclined, you can look at all of them. anyways, thanks for coming out to play! always more fun to make turns with other carvers. -trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
