It's a bit like herding cats without set events, but I estimate there are 20 people here. The snow was pretty rough for the first few days, but a dump a couple days ago brought the typical soft Colorado groom back. Tomorrow should be epic with the 2nd groom after the storm! 2 hours ago, softbootsurfer said: Didn't see anyone today on the Wave, so I did the best I could to leave a message...

pow4ever Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thank you Corey for the alway excellent clinic: It's like a great book; it doesn't matter how many time I took it. I always seems to get more out of it everytime. In addition thank you again Corey for the General cat herding: all the demo/planning logistic, and positive vibe!! Condition were not the best for a bit; but it's not too difficult to find trails that work for each's own taste. If your snowboard have not earn a new battle scar; you should buy lottery. tomorrow and Friday should be EPIC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that something you need to do weeks in advance? Glad you guys got a little snow refresher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 It sounds like First Tracks fills up a few days to a week in advance. I forgot to register earlier. :/ Here's a clip from Snowmass: I'm on a Donek 175 Secret demo in very soft groom. Thanks to Jim for filming! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Let's make dinner plans for Thursday at 6 PM at Slow Groovin BBQ at Snowmass. This will be our unofficial banquet for the unofficial ATC. No prizes, no speeches, just laughs with fellow carvers. Please post or message me if you are coming so I have a count.

lafcadio Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 For first tracks, try this: 1. Forget the Gondola. Line up at the old 1A double chair at 8:30. Ski Patrol and lifties are friendly will generally let you on the chair by 8:45. 2. 1A (aka Shadow Mountain chair) will take you directly to the bottom of Ruthie's. 3. You'll have 3-4 runs in on Ruthie's before anyone makes it over from the Gondola. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softbootsurfer Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 actually...the Gondo typically opens at 8:45 while 1a is more toward 9, plus it is a Slowww chair...so you can Gondo and get to 6 and be going down Ruthies before others can be up 1a and over to Ruthies and then up Ruthies to the top to start down Ruthies...

Corey Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Thanks to all that showed up and shared in the stoke, even with questionable snow the first few days! The latter days made up for the early days! I shot some video that needs an edit, then I'll put the link up here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Here is a video from Highlands on the 2nd last day of the session: Music picked for length as it was a bit too boring without something. Hit mute and supply your own if you don't like it. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
