billyt. Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Great weekend of riding. Thought with all the rain this past week conditions would be terrible, luckily not so. Met another carver on a skwal and Alex up at Stratton on Friday. Optimistic that March will hold, but spring is coming quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I just start thinking about my next season. 5 months from now I hope to be carving at Cardrona unless Covid-19 sends those plans to the bin. Off season training can be fun too, a 3 hour mountain bike ride yesterday was both great time in the outdoors and quads training. The hardest bit of my off season is reading what you Northerners are doing while it's full summer here in NZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tddragon Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Definitely onewheel! Plus skateboarding :) Have a trip Scheduled to sugarbush April 4th - hopefully will still be decent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aracan Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Not only is my season probably over, I also totalled my new Coiler on its 5th day on snow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 This season doesn't appear to be as good or as long as last season. Last year I rode until May 3rd (some rode longer). My guess is our season will last at least another month. We may fall into the melt - freeze cycle though and the snow conditions may be sub-optimal.

monodude Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 I go "carving" on my Kawasaki Concours 1400. 0-60 in around 2.5 sec, 10 sec 1/4 mile, 165 hp to the ground. Not stock 700 lb. shaft drive beast of a twistys carver.

BlueB Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 We still have another 35-40 days left here, plus a bit of Whistler afterwards... Anyways, when all is said and done, I'll intensify on tennis, some slalom/pump skateboarding, and hopefully the stars would align for a Laser dinghy. My convertible Merc gets out of the garage too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others had gone through that patch before me, but not my exact route. Hit a rock under the snow. The part in front of the bindings is now at at 25° angle to the rest.

pow4ever Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 sorry to hear that... @Aracan I am hard on my gears and have kill some relative new board the same way... them no trailer queen... almost every single of my board have battle scars: warp edges, gauges, scratches.... Price we paid for going off the path of least travel. Got some of my best experience on snow because of it but non the less it suck.. This season have been challenging for me and the weather sucked in general. It have both high and low. Start getting ready for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride one daily and if you get one, ride it on grass for your first few sessions so WHEN you crash you will have less of a chance of ending up in the emergency room and you won't ding up your OW.

1xsculler Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Crystal has just made the gondola and all dining areas closed until further notice AND all schools are closed for six weeks so, even though the conditions are super up there, I expect lots of out of control straight-line speedsters to be clogging up the runs and my run, which I usually have to myself, will now be clogged up because of the gondola closure. I imagine I will be checking it out on Monday anyway, with grandchildren in tow, but I won't stay if it appears to me that me or my grandkids have a good chance of getting speared.

Wolf Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Our season is always short in the midwest (can't complain - we all make choices on where we live). Tomorrow is the last day to slide down some loose granular as it's been as high as 60 deg F and hasn't been below freezing for a week. I do a lot of hiking in the spring and fall, and fortunately have the opportunity to spend summers in Maine where I do a lot of kayaking. I'm working on "personalizing" a new aluminum kayak trailer this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
