Lurch Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 As a fellow non-weatherologist, I would the prevailing 'dry'pattern may change. :) History shows Vail averages around 325+ inches and conditions there usually get better as Jan goes on so here's hoping. That being said, this season has the potential to be in top 5 worst on record, so a sacrifice to Ullr is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Well I still plan to be there for the first or last 3 days but will pull the plug if Aspen doesn't get a dumping.........don't need to travel to be frustrated....I can do that here! Man! Somethings gotta give with this weather..aka: lack of winter here in N. Cali also! It's Jan. for crying out loud and it's still rock board season!! My boards are spending more time at the tuners for core shots and rock rash than on the hill! I got a new Moss AP67 I desperately want to let run but No Way until we get enough coverage that I don't cringe looking down the slope at the rocks, sticks and rubble .......but the Sirens are calling to me and I Go!! ...as my board is screaming, Oh no, No, NO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Any interest in http://www.aspenicekarting.com? I've just realized that I'm on the ground for 8 days and have a 7-day lift pass, so I should plan ahead and set this up. Is anyone coming in a day early? I'm thinking karting on Friday, Feb 2nd as that's my planned acclimatization day. Also, there's a small chance that Donek might be able to supply some demo boards to try. No demo tent on the mountain, just boards in someone's hotel room with a sign-out sheet. You take a board the night before, try it out, and bring it back the following night. You'd be personally responsible for the board while it's in your possession. What would people want to try? I assume: MK, Proteus, Secret/Rev, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Very cool John! If we get a vote I'd say the 1st version is my choice! Any chance Stickers are possible! That's a sticker for my board I'd Pay for!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 You could "stickerize" these with double stick tape. These are on about 0.020" thick aluminum. They are 8" x 12". I can easily make smaller ones if people are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummr25 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'll be in Aspen 2/9 - 2/13 for a quick trip...only riding Sat (10th) thru Monday if anything is happening then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be down for trying the aspen ice karting. I'm thinking of taking a rest day somewhere. Are you open for doing this any other day? I won't be there until late evening on the 2nd. Also, should we setup an official/unofficial ride/meetup schedule? I'd hate for all of us to be fragmented throughout the four mountains. And we should all at least meetup for drinks and food one night. Not sure i want to do demo boards. Last time i wasted a lot of time switching between demo boards and later regretted not having just stuck with my board and enjoyed the snow.

Hey John Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I’m in from Feb 4 thru 10. Really shouldn’t be spending this kind of money this year, but oh well. It’s only money, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Mario & I will be arriving Monday afternoon 2/5. Want to meet up at the Bumps restaurant in the lodge at the base of Buttermilk? Maybe 4PM or so? We can decide then where we want to ride the following day and where to meet up each day after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafcadio Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Does anyone have advice for finding last-minute lodging for a procrastinator like me? The challenge is that I'll be there from Jan 28 to Feb 4 to meet up with the Pure Boarding crew (and meet work/personal time constraints) so my dates will likely not align with many here. I'm thinking of just doing an Airbnb. Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Try the Inn at Aspen, Molly Gibson or St. Moritz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
