west carven Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 snowreport: tue jan 03, 2017 howdy all got a late start just to catch the warmer part of the day. it was mostly cloudy in the morning than about 1pm it was blue sky sunshine till the end of the day and it did feel warmer. groomers was perfect after a couple days of no new snow and really cold temps. there was no wind and it was a really nice day. ed's was groomed much better and carved good. it's the first day on hardboots and felt a little weird at first, but just like riding a bike, you never forget. so I made a few runs on ed's than went to chair 1 and my pass fell of my thingy so went back to chair 2 to look for it, but I never found it, but the lefties let me ride till closing. mean while met a german kid with a rentinger and he asked me for some pointers so made a few runs with him. it was not crowded at all, I think the cold temps scared them away and I think they are going back to school and end of vacation... today was awesome and you guys should have been here... rode the 157fp from 12 till 4...

johnasmo Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Johnasmo sighting! In that pixilated onesie I'm hard to miss. Sorry, I haven't been reading the boards lately. Busy with work and house guests, but I have been getting out on the snow. My shoulder seems strong enough to withstand the season; now I'm more worried about tweaking muscles in my back than the shoulder. One more physical therapy visit scheduled then I'll wait 'til spring to decide on more. West is right, the last two days were great carving days -- chalky hardpack, but not ice. Fast and firm, with clear skys. Woo Hoo! I was switching boards to compare my latest Bruce builds so I can give him feedback on the Nirvana Triple-X 170. Ian (Fliersmith), sorry, my old boots are too big, and I already sold most of my non-Coiler boards to angry Rick. Don't need all the ones I have, but what's left are mostly customs built just for me and my weight (175 - 180). Though I do have a 157 Factory Prime I found at a pawn shop that I keep around for no good reason (I should trade that to West for something). Anyway, if you do line up some gear (I got my first stuff on eBay, boots and all), wave down the guy in the POC full-face helmet and colorful onesie and I can share riding tips. I'm up most days for a couple hours when I'm in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west carven Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 snowreport: sat jan 07, 2017 howdy all wow! what a great carving day, really! you guys should have been here. it hasn't snowed in a week and the groomers are buffed out smooth and it was good all day. I sat on ed's about 4pm and the run looked good like the early morning. I was gonna do night skiing, but I was getting tired and had a full day. very light clouds in the morning then it's bluebird till 2ish then very high clouds builds with the sun filtering thru by 4pm. so I called the mountain on Thursday and someone turned in my pass so picked it up in the morning. well, we are still in need of more snow, Ptarmigan Bowl and Larch was only groomed once and there's still pine tops sticking out, I saw many rocks popping out and lots of debris from trees from the winds. forecast is more snow in the next few days and a warm up... carved hard all day... rode the 157fp from 9 till 4...

west carven Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 snowreport: mon jan 09, 2017 howdy all woke up to 4 inches here in town, woke a little late so did not go to chair 2 and waited in line on chair 1. it was pretty busy for a Monday because the big reported 6 inches overnight and all the powder hounds were out. first run down toni matt was sweet untracked butter. it was a little warmer and the snow was on the creamy side and you could hardly feel the hard pack underneath. snowing in the morning than the fog seemed to get thicker in the afternoon than the snow stops. the crowd left by noon, but by than it was chopped huge piles, tried to carve thru the huge piles on my last run. was a fun day and could have stayed longer, but remembered I had to shovel the side walk at home and there's still tomorrow. rode the 152wfs from 9 till 1...

johnasmo Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Johnasmo sighting! That's from Saturday. Like West said, it was a good carving day. Today not so much - powder, powder hounds, fog... Had to park at the base lodge. Steve, I'll be gone 19th and 20th, but otherwise will catch as many WTF days as I can. Did you do tee shirts?

west carven Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 snowreport: tue jan 10, 2017 howdy all a little cloud/fog on the summit at opening, but soon lifts just above the summit and it was a nice cooler day. just about 2 inch over kinda soft groom from yesterdays creamy snow. off groom was still soft and fun. it was carvable on the softies and was a fun day. felt cooler as the artic air is slowly pushing down and the next few days should see some minus degree nights. forecast is cold temps and clear skies then snowy by the weekend and in the 30's by Tuesday. rode the 152wfs from 9 till 2...

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Well see you when you get back. No shirts this year. We just don't get a big enough order to bring down the price. See everyone in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 snowreport: fri jan 13, 2017 howdy all worked in the morning and I knew it was going to be great groomers as we had no new snow since Tuesday and was hoping we were slow at work so they cut me loose. got on snow just after 1pm and perfect groomers that was lightly skied off. there was a youth race on nice day and a few runs later it was done. ed's run was good as was toni matt and not too many people on the hill. high overcast and foggy on top and down low kinda flat light. it was great carving at 4pm and did a few laps into night skiing and would have stayed longer, but it gets really cold as the sun goes down. tomorrow should be really good in the morning... carved really hard and made some tight turns... rode the 165amt from 1 till 4... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 snowreport: sat jan 14, 2017 howdy all perfect groomers! what a great day. normal cold day with the voodoo fog on the top half and a bit rimey that stuck to the goggles, but wasn't too bad. flat lighting in the mid section then by 2:30pm the fog lifts and then its blue sky sunshine. everywhere good carving so made a full day of it and close the place down. could have done night skiing, but gets too cold. work tomorrow then more snow thru next week... hope the groomers stays this way for WTF... see you guys soon... rode the 165amt from 9 till 4...

Allee Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I am SO unhappy that I won't be there this year. Pout, sulk. First year I've missed since 2008. I am planning on being there with friends for beerfest weekend, which from memory is the weekend before close, so please save me some snow.

west carven Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 snowreport: mon jan 16, 2017 howdy all grey and cloudy here in town, but on the big it was mostly sunny with a few thin high clouds, inversion. hasn't snowed since Tuesday and groomers were hard pack and could hardly get an edge in, but it was a great carving day. there was a youth race league on the skiers right side of ed's run so it took up most of chair 2. the inversion kept the cloud level really low so all of the mountain was nice and sunny. it was so nice that I ate lunch and rode the whole day. forecast is a warm up and maybe some rain wednesday and Thursday then more snow beginning next weekend, WTF might be a pow fest. rode the 157sx from 9 till 4...

west carven Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 snowreport: tue jan 17, 2017 howdy all super high clouds that seems to be hauling ass from the southwest to northeast so very flat light, but it was so high you could see glacier park and the mountains all around as far as you could see. another great day of carving and the snow was softer than yesterdays a bit crunchy icy in the morning. snow gets lightly skied off so stayed good all day. the sun comes out about 12pm for an hour or two then it's flat light again. I was pooped from riding all day yesterday, but as I got into it, got a second wind and stayed all day. we were supposed to get some snow today, but it never came and wenesday rain has been down graded to very little around here. let's hope it doesn't get too wet as the condition now has been very good. I may get ride Friday afternoon then all week after that. see you guys soon. rode the 165amt from 9 till 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 A little firm today Thursday. Carvable if I had a pair. Back side was good (yes I said back side). Hi hopes for tomorrow. It stayed cold and started snowing very lightly. It should look good after grooming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west carven Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 snowreport: fri jan 20, 2017 howdy all had to work this morning for a little while than got on snow about 1pm and it was kinda firm snow. it was mostly sunny and felt like a nice spring day. the snow was icy crunchy and skied off into little marbles in some places and good the further up top. it was good to see Cuban and we did a run as he was ending his day and me just starting. the sun soften the snow later in the day so we will see a firm morning tomorrow. should see some colder overnight temps this week so this looks good for some epic carving. could have done night skiing, but it was setting up icy hard chunks. rode the 152wfs from 1 till 4...

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Ok this is what West didn't tell you. His description was spot on. But he failed to say that he was carving on a soft setup things I was gust sliding down. I was looking to get back up top to better conditions. I will say in my defense he had fresh legs. Let's see what conditions we have tomorrow. It was warm today darn sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west carven Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 snowreport: sat jan 21, 2017 howdy all a really nice morning with the sun peaking thru super high clouds. ed's run skied off into little marbles. up high better snow and today they groomed ptarmigan bowl which is a fun run. rode with Cuban all morning and the snow was firm all day as the high clouds kept the snow cool and it did not get soft. started to lightly snow about 2:30pm and hope it goes all night so we get a refresh and it gets mixed in and softens the groomers tomorrow. this week looks really good for some epic carving, monday more snow than sunny Wednesday thru Saturday sunny with single digits nights. today was fun... rode the 157fp from 9 till 3...
