Carvin' Marvin Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Was at Vail on Monday and met three young lifties that were new self-directed softie-carvers and STOKED about it. Two of them were on brand new Donek Inclines and one was on his dad's old winterstick. Even though their total days on snow only numbered in the teens they were doing quite well. They were eager to learn and ate up a few tips I could give them before I had to leave. All they had on their minds was having fun and ripping turns. They weren't even bickering over the merits of race technique vs the "various bomber variants" (pinky high in the air here) It was refreshing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeonsChamp Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 You should grab a picture with them and let them know about the forums if they don't know about us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Saw a handful of soft book carvers last time I was at Copper, too. Good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I saw a patroler on hard boots today, at Cypress. It was even a square tail! I didn't get to talk to him, though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I was able to switch instagram info with one of them before I had to leave so we are going to meet up again soon. I'll direct them here also. They were super stoked on my alpine setup (also a Donek that day so that helped) but the conversation followed the usual- "well I have everything you need x 5, except boots!" I swear if I had shells in a few different sizes I could gt so many more people on plates. As is the struggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
