1xsculler Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Not only do I take it all back, I deleted the bitching, as any time with my family is golden. I’m extremely fortunate that they invite me on these trips and I will never turn an invite down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAZZ Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Yeah, tough when you get to ride with your family. What a drag... Seriously, can you look at the positive or are you trying to see the negative in every opportunity? Get a softboot setup and ENJOY riding with your family. I know I do with mine.

Neil Gendzwill Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Feels like you work extra hard to suck the joy out of snowboarding. I will not get on the snow at all this year due to Covid. I would love to make some turns with family. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Maybe the 2ft of snow in last 72hrs is not agreeing with the $100 JHR steak? I'd give GTR a go skuller - they would have more snow and Teton Thai make a cheap (but excellent) WahWahman soup Edited February 16, 2021 by Lurch The Bison Pho is the shizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1xsculler Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Totally stupid for me to even hint at complaining. We are having a great time even with the very challenging terrain with awesome new snow covering, for me, leg breaking bumps underneath. I WILL break a leg if I try to keep following this bunch and I am tired out. I am 30 years older than the next oldest and they are both hard charging excellent athletes. My hope is that the 11 year old tires out too and comes down to join me on Eagles Rest. I’m going to do a few hot laps of pencil lines under the Eagles Rest chair (no lift line, lines are herendous everywhere else) on one of my carving boards, and on my son-in-laws Orca 153 with my F2/UPZ setup and call it a day after I finish my double boozy hot chocolate. DO NOT JUDGE ME! Lol Ok, my guess is that anyone, even me, on this site can linkup endless pencil lines on Eagles Rest run with almost any board. It’s twice as steep as Crystal’s beginner run and half as steep as the next run up at Crystal. My challenge is to linkem up on the next run up at Crystal and to learn to do a little free riding on a short, wide directional board so I can, maybe, ride with my son-in-law. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohob Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Head over to sleeping giant. https://www.skisg.com/conditions-and-maps 44 inches in the past 5 days and nooobody goes there! Chay Donnelly, one of the original Montuky carvers works there. don’t tell him I sent you or he will kick you off the mountain, tell him Kathy sent you!

1xsculler Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Whole new day today...rented some pow skis and am lovin the steep and the deep with the fam! My son-in-law hired a mt guide so no line waiting for the five of us Waffels and a Baileys latte at to top of the Tram! I am a slow learner but I do eventually figure it out! finishing up last the 45 minutes linking up pencil lines on a new board, hot lapping Eagle’s Rest. What a day! One for the record books for me for sure! The problem is that i am never going to learn to become a hip dragger riding a hill like this and let’s face it being a hipdragger is what separates the men from the boys in this sport. I won’t consider myself to be a legitimate carver until I can get my knees/hips within one foot of the snow but then that’s just my Problem. I will still enjoy linking up pencil lines on moderate slopes until I get there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Awesome. Sometimes it's a pow day, sometimes it's a groomer day. Trying to force the opposite is WAY less fun than going with the hand you're dealt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really separates the men from the other men, is the ability to enjoy a simple, clean carve without comparing yourself to someone else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practice good form and good technique with angulation, over and over again on any terrain - muscle memory. Hip dragging eventually is a by product of great technique. If your goal right now is hip dragging without getting the technique behind it, you'll probably just be forming bad habits/technique to try to get to this goal. These then will be hard to unlearn/undo. And you can develop good technique on a green run to get you there. My home "mountain" is below, all 300 bad a$$ feet vertical of it. It's a 5 minute lift ride, and 30 seconds of carving down. Our "black" run would be labeled a green in Colorado. If you're familiar with Buttermilk, it'd be similar in pitch to Westward Ho or Larkspur over in West Buttermilk. But, it's what I've got to ride near me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpreted @Jon Dahl's statement as "fear" have no place in the context of Jackson Hole. It's indeed a challenging mountain. When hanging with the JH local; be honest about your ability. Paint Brush/Toilet Bowl was fun. the older i get; the greater i was or maybe i was just much dumber back then... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dined there two evenings...very good and quite reasonable. My grandsons, 11 and 14, of course idolize Kai Jones and they invited him over to our table as if they knew him which they do a little. Crazy (k)Carl signed the back of the 14 year old’s ski jacket after his probable winning run at the bottom of the Couloir. It’s a pretty magical place especially if you’re into huge free riding or skiing and if it’s snowing every day. To watch those guys and gals launch off of the lip of Corbet’s and then hit the huge jumps they have built in the middle of the run is a spectacle. It will be aired at 1:00pm, MST on Red Bull TV. Sometime over the weekend the 25 invited competitors get together and decide who the 2021 King and Queen of Corbet’s will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
