hammerwoman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 My season's pass is paid for, my quiver's shaping up. I plan on riding Sunapee regularly, and Okemo as the mood/time off/snow goddess takes me. If I'm there, I'll be on one of the first Sunapee Express chairs after the patrol opens it Saturday/Sunday. I'll be posting regularly when I know I'll be there. If you see somebody all in black on an old Ultra Prime or a new Coiler, just yell "Hey, Hammer!" It's my Roller Derby name, and it's easier to yell than "Gail." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I probably won't be a 'regular' at either hill, what with the Team East/Crotched Mt. events taking up my weekends, But, I do visit both those hills on occasion. I'll keep my eyes peeled when I'm at either the 'O' or Soonapy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus boy Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hammerwoman, thanks for the hot tip on demo gear at Okemo, I'm going to try my best to get us there soon (we had been talking about that mountain anyway). Thanks, also, for reaching out because my wife, Sam, has bemoaned the fact that none of her female friends like to ride, and this is one sport where I cannot keep up with her (yet!). So you give me hope that she might find a small community of women in the hardbooting crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, there's riding with Steph at Stratton that will have to happen, and although Gretchen, the head snowboard coach at Mt.Snow, isn't a hardbooter, she's awesome. If you see a hardbooter in all black- and I'll quit wearing black when they make something darker- just yell "Hey Hammer!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerwoman Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Judging from all the brown visible on the Sunapee mountain cams, there's no way they're going to make it tomorrow (Saturday, 11/26). My boards are still being held hostage by the shop that's grinding them for me, so I won't be able to get to Okemo until at least midday. I may just decide I can wait until Sunday, unless somebody wants to join me tomorrow afternoon for a likely slushfest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Went to Sunapee for my first time ever this morning. Went with the aggressive plan Geoff! Sitting here at Logan across from the gate so I made it. A big thank you to the Carver (on a Coiler) who I never was able to catch up with or wait long enough for as your tracks highlighted some of the best runs for carving. Unfortunately I spotted Lower Flying Goose long after my legs were toast. I takes a lot to bring that 185 REV around, especially on unfamiliar terrain. Making the way down through the mogul chute certainly didn't help, whew. The groom was quality and I had fun on many runs... Rode every lift. The snow was groomed granular on top of a firm but not icy base. I had a blast, thanks Sunapee. It even started to lightly snow and the sun in the am was nice. Some flat light tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
