I’ve got a few friends that I’m pressuring to sign up, but they can’t commit this early. Hopefully they will by the end of the year. If there’s still spots available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also gonna rent a mini van in WA. If it works out and are interested you can hitch a ride with us. Edited November 19, 2018 by Jcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted December 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 For those you you who have never been to a carving session or those newer to the sport I want to personally invite you to join us! These sessions are so very welcoming, the people are super friendly and helpful. You will leave with a whole lot of new friends (that actually get your obsession). Learn a ton from watching so many different ways to ride these silly things. And you will not have to worry about getting hit from uphill traffic! NO PASSING! So the run is yours! Practice and focus on YOUR line! If you get tired just pull over to the edge and watch the folks go by! This is the time and place to advance your riding, have fun and make new friends! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticBoarder Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 For those who have been to the mountain, how is the terrain? Are the greens/ blues/blacks classified well or are they weighted one way or the other? My gf is joining us, but is learning to snowboard this season. She also learned to ski a couple days last season. Trying to figure out what to expect and what she should bring/focus on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dredman Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Pneumonia Ridge, Elk Basin and Cabinet Avenue are really mellow blue runs, then a short cat track to Pig Chute or Lower Mambo. The Cat tracks / Jeep roads are nicely pitched, no slogging involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxlean Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 There must be karma in the air (along with snow!). I'd previously been a part of the bomberonline.com community and have attended several SES events. Alas, with the demise of Bomber and the SES events, I kind of fell out of the community to just be that lonely guy carving at Arizona Snowbowl trying not to get killed by straight-liner kids. Maybe a USSA race here and there. Then, last weekend, I'm going up the lift and looking down and see some fine lines! I figure Scott or Bill (the other two carvers on our mountain), but no I get of the lift and there's this mountain-of-a-man Dave Wilcox (somewhere on this board, don't know his username) who's on a Coiler - the same board I'm riding! We take some laps and I remember how cool it is to ride with another carver! And, he tells me that the board has been resurrected and there is this cool event where they are going to rent an entire mountain! Sweet. So I go to this new board and try to register only to find they've transferred my old account! Bless you guys! Super excited to go to Montucky! Will register Monday! I'll be at Powder Mountain the whole month prior, so the drive shouldn't be that bad vs Arizona. WhooHoo! Pic from today at Snowbowl (before the thousands of people showed up and forced me to quit, sigh): 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dredman Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Happy New Year! Join us for what will most likely be the coolest and most fun carving session of 2019! We have rented an entire ski area and will have the whole place to ourselves! All skill levels of carvers are welcome! This is the time and place to ride without worrying about getting hit from behind, and to meet lots of like minded carvers! We will be having 2 carving clinics (Thank You Corey!) so you can progress your skills. One of the really cool things about this kind of session it that you can see lots of different styles and techniques! Take the parts that work for you and have fun with it! We will have an event photographer that will be capturing the entire event and will be sharing photos with all participants! Cheers and Happy New Year!

Jcar Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 What are the typical snow conditions at Turner in February? I’m pulling out the vintage boards I’ll be riding and they need a base grind. I imagine it’s a dry snow, that would require a fine structure is that correct?? I’m I’m SoCal so not sure if I can find a shop that can do fine structure. If not is it better to run no structure? Or a medium course for Montucky snow? Oh yeah, I’m gonna order wax. What would be a safe bet for snow temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Ha ha ha... you ask like I have ever had a professional tune.. never have had a board ground either.. sorry but I have no idea.. I think @johnasmo has some Coilers with over 1,000,000 vertical feet on them without a grind or pro tune. I usually use a 50/50 mixture of blue & purple bulk swix wax, knock the big chunks off the edges and ride. 15-30 degrees F would be normal. Turner is pretty low elevation and I have seen everything from very wet snow to really dry and fluffy that time of year. Save some cash and just wax with a good all temp wax. Thank you for supporting this event! Things are shaping up very nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for supporting this event! Things are shaping up very nicely! I like your style Dred!! I had a pro tune once back in 2008??? I have to admit I saw the base after a stone grind and was blown away.... I spent years hand planing my base’s at home and realized I had been wasting my time. It was gorgeous. I figured the snow could be all over the spectrum, thanks for the wax advice. Will do!! gettin so excited for this. Glad to hear it’s shaping up. Looks like they are getting good snow right now!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
