johnasmo Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Feb 11 total snowfall to date at summit 256" (21'). Settled 127" (10"). Nothing spotty about our coverage this season. Wishing you (and me) hero snow, but be prepared for powder or ice; The Big can be anything but consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Participants are dropping like flies. Kram coming on wed, Dane on thurs. Today was a powfest. Stayed low below the fog.

buster Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Another pow day. Morning was clear, afternoon fog forced us to lower elevation. Chair 3 kept us entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I am going to try and be there by 830 or 9 tomorrow to register for the distance events. I will not be there on Friday for the Parallel Giant Drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Sorry pgd finals were held today. Groomers were good this morning although a bit soft. The top looked fogged in so we stayed on chair 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks to the locals for showing us around. Beating the tourists into submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnasmo Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Friday. Cold, windy, dumping snow again.... But Oh Chalky Goodness on the groomers. Carvelicious. But I can't find anyone. Only seen Rick. Checked Summit House, Hellroaring. I'll keep looking. Just stopped at my car for a windproof balaclava and my boot gloves. (don't forget there's night skiing. Could be a few inches fresh by then.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Sorry we missed you John. You must have been zigging when we were zagging. Rode with Rick a few runs, crossed paths with Eric a few times. The Whitefish locals are excellent riders but they don't know shirt about nipple dragging. You guys should expand your horizons. Been a ton of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 howdy I saw it!... buster did it on ptarmigan bowl... nipple dragging... it was awesome... I didn't think it could be done... respect!... it was really fun riding with the tourists... alberta, grayontray, brudda dane, buster and kram... fun to ride with like minded carvers... we were on chair 2 all day... the top side was too cold... snow was awesome...

You guys should expand your horizons. Just can't master the last few inches. Keep trying though; this was from last Sunday in the bowl. Eric is really close, but the look on his face says, "chaffing!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 According to the International Nipple Drag Federation, the nipple drag must be initiated by sliding out on a toe side carve and sliding uncontrollable on both nipples for at least 20 feet. Any less distance will be disqualified. The examples you posted would not qualify even in the amateur division. I have yet to see any of the Whitefish crew slide out. Do not give up the quest grasshopper! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayontray Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Nipple drag at Whitefish was outta sight. Nice to meet new to me riders. Got to ride a Thirst XC - many thanks, Mark, for sending boards to try. Kram, thanks for transport. A lively fun board - even if I was having an off day - likes to turn!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
