pm_wizard Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I picked up my new Coiler yesterday. I got a 168 Racecarve, nicely set up for my particuler needs. As a bonus I had a guided tour of the manufacturing facilities of Coiler, quite a set up! I am taking my board to Stowe for the weekend to inaugurate it.

skategoat Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hey John, I got my new RaceCarve 175 last week. Took it out to MSLM on hard pack and had an amazing time. I was at Osler with it on Saturday. Didn't see you or Chris. Have a great time at Stowe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleaman Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 When I picked up my PR188 a few years ago, I got the tour too, it is great to see how he built it. Bruce is so proud of his boards, he loves talking about them and showing people stuff. It took me a hour to pick it up, but the background of the board was pretty interesting.

pm_wizard Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Skategoat, That's probably cause I wasn't up there. My daughter was home from Western for the weekend, and we stayed in town. How were the conditions at Osler? Fleaman, You are absolutely right. He has such an enthusiasm for his boards, it is great. I really enjoyed being walked through the whole process and seeing each stage of the build. I guess we are going to have to declare Osler a "Coiler Only" hill!

Gtanner Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Ok now I'm getting more and more excited to get my PR184 and AM172 next season. Hey John, post a pic of your new baby if you get the chance. -Gord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: Osler. First of all, there was hardly anyone there so it was wide open for carving. The morning was hero snow. By 1PM, it started pounding snow. About half an inch would accumulate on your shoulders on the ride up the lift. I switched from the Coiler to a freeride board and it was a blast. There's enough snow at Osler to last another month. Pic of my new Coiler Racecarve 175, beside my Prior 4WD 174 for comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm_wizard Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 AGHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I will be at Stowe this weekend and then back to Osler next weekend. Unfortunately it will then be school break weekend, and with the death of Jetsgo I guess there will be people there that were planning to be away! I'll try to take a photo of my new toy tonight and get it up. really nice graphic, the shooting star maple leaf (no hiding my allegiances!) on a white background.

csquared Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 John: I am looking forward to a run or two with you on the new board. I think it will treat you well. Skategoat, you're surely blind. I saw you in the lodge first thing in the morning on Saturday but you walked right past before I could say anything. "Oh well," thought I "I'll see him on the hill." Saw you coming down Valley so I waited for you at the top of the Orchard chair but you came off and ignored my waving and calling and headed for the main lift. Saw you once or twice after that but from a distance. I guess you missed my tracks, huh? My back hasn't been the same since SES and I have been trying to take it easy on the aggressive stuff. Gave it up in the afternoon and went out on the snowshoes for a trek through the woods with Carol. It was a gas in that blizzard, like being lost in the barrens.
