boardguru Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Just got back from a great morning of riding at PowMow. Groomers were great but we left when more and more human gates started showing up. Briefly met another hardbooter at the top of the poma lift, name of Dickie riding Head boots, TD2 stepins, on a Coiler. Guy was ripping trenches! I was riding my custom Winterstick 166 OG Race.

Buell Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Have you never met Dickie? He is ageless and so smooth! I rode with him a lot when we were at PowMow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Howdy Buell, first time I've talked with him. Might have seen him from a lift before. I was surprised he had not heard of alpinesnowboarder.com though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 He would have known Bomber, but not necessarily ASB. He is not really paying attention to the newest stuff. He is a Purecarve guy who left Aspen for Powder Mountain. I got him on a Coiler after he tried one of mine. He is also a surf legend who pioneered Blacks in San Diego and then moved to Hawaii in the '60s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted March 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 PowMow and Snowbasin are allowing uphill traffic, hiking. So if you want to earn your turns there is Tons of powder to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 The wife and I finally got to go riding today at PowMow. First time this season. We were both riding Coiler Contras, hers from last year mine from this year. Great first day, not a lot of people compared to all other days I have viewed the web cams. Blue skies no wind and real (not fake) snow. The entire mountain was open, and what a great time we had. The Contra is like riding a magic carpet! Looking forward to more fun days there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted January 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Oh My Heck, I get to try out another new board Sunday. New to me Jack Michaud's Winterstick Squaretail plus 170. 2 new boards in the same season, I don't know how to act! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted January 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Got to ride today at opening. Snow was fast and fun. Loving the ride of the Winterstick 170 Squaretail Plus. It's a rocket and loves digging trenches. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 14 inches this morning! Pow day at PowMow. Although that's nothing compared with what barryj is getting slammed with out in the Sierras! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted January 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Had a fun day yesterday hanging out with the Wintersick crew and laying trenches until shin bang set in. Great bunch of people to talk and hang out with, Winterstick 50th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted October 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Second preseason teaser storm yesterday 10/12/'23, hopefully we will get to experience another epic/record year for snowfall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 $1649.00 for a season pass!!! Oh so glad a tech billionaire bought a majority interest in PowMow, NOT. Looks like I just got priced out of having fun there anymore in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I just got priced out of having fun there anymore in the winter. A benefit of enjoying old age (80) a privilege denied to many! I tell my 80 year old friends not to get too excited because old age doesn’t last all that long. Snoqualmie, 80 +=free White Pass season pass $24 age 73-122??? Crystal mid week season pass was about $600 when I was 79 and is $49 at 80! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 Don't know if the corporate greed will be able to match those prices 1xsculler. There are a lot of changes happening at PowMow over the next few years, some good and some really not so good. There are a number of articles mentioning the coming changes for both winter and summer riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s ridiculous for pricing. Isn’t one “benefit” of the 24-25 season pass that if you don’t own property there, you get excluded from the new private runs and lifts? Kind of a pay way more for way less sort of super bargain? Maybe I misread the articles in the news but that’s what I thought it stated. Unrelated but damn, they’ve been blasting avalanches all morning, since before sun up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardguru Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 I heard that some homeowners don't want to interact with all of the local riff raff, so they get to have their own private lifts and terrain. Wondering what will happen with the summer mountain bike parking lot by their multi million dollar houses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
