Jack M Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 @lonbordintoday looks great and unfortunately could be the last day of carving for a while if not the season. Get up here if you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Taken yesterday. Man today is HOT. Tomorrow looks like it could be decent though. Temps just below freezing and snow overnight into the morning, possibly changing over in the afternoon. First few runs could be decent carving, then it will bump up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pow4ever Posted March 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 to the suppose "snow storm" would love some local report on condition: Do we think Sat or Sunday is a better day to start? Rock board? should i even bring my new board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Shitty with a chance of crappy. Rain this morning. The daily report actually mentioned snowmaking coming back online soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw but that was probably pre-storm exuberance. building upon the "snow storm" momentum; that might have die on the vine when reality set in.... something about snow making take us to the spring. well it would be nice if mountain ops decided to do that otherwise it is what it is.

Heenalu Kahiko Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Unexpected pleasure to meet Jack at Sugarloaf on Sunday. My handy, attention grabbing, Thirst TS 202 was parked next to his Winterstick outside the popular local bar The Bag. All Jack had to go was find the guy with the hard boots. Turned out we were sitting together at the bar and agreed to meet in the morning for some runs. Wow, perfect conditions, Jack sends it! I got a lesson and some tips for better carving then I ever achieved before. Many thanks Jack! Special thanks to Mark Miller for my sweet longboard. I’ll see if I can find a few good turns and ask Jack to add video to the thread. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pow4ever Posted April 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 wow; that's this past Sunday? looked like hay burner? If i know... i would have stay. packed it in Friday 4/1/2022 (all the rain/warm weather wasn't promising) drop off the boards at Happy Tune for T&S. Finally end the season on a high note. I was riding there from Mar 27 - 31. 5 great days. pretty amazing how quickly Sugarloaf recover from various weather system. Enjoy. I will be back next season.

Jack M Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Tuesday, King's Landing. Conditions are like a cake of packed semi-frozen corn that you can actually carve. If it were a weekend it would quickly turn to sugar-on-concrete. I only took a few runs, then back to work. Sorry we didn't connect, Dave! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the day getting warmer; i did got caught in a soft patch. luckily just minor busted lip. Sugarloaf's way to remind me not to be too cocky. the twin trail king/hay (at least to my un-train old eyes). really nice riding. I wasn't much fun to be around anyway(pretty moody at the lack of progress; even regress) lol. was In tinker-bell mode; this time i am actually making progress instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall. by the time i think i figured some of it out... the season is over. Can't wait for next season to just do it all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel like I'm learning new things, refining other things, and still generally getting better. At 48 I'm probably delusional, but it's fun. Then in December I have to re-learn some of it. Someone asked me this season if I get board of it. The best answer finally dawned on me - if you could fly would you get board of it? But still it's nice to put it away for the summer.

pow4ever Posted April 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 those are some purty track! I can almost imagine/feel the movement to make those track. Spill way/skyline lift? winter gears have been put away. must focus and stay away from forum to keep sanity. goosfraba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhamann Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 it's difficult to make three carved turns down that pitch of sluice headwall, but jack does six. pfft. come get some. yeah buddy! conditions and timing must align for such turns and i'm definitely jealous for not being able to hit the spring freeze/perfect/thaw cycle this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailertrash Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 The headwall isn't bad, the chute screws me up every time. I think I did it once this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I did it once this season. right. chute is higher up above the cross cut for sluice/spillway, wind blown, off camber "fun". headwall is 'tame' in comparison. Both are above my ability now but it's something for me to work toward. now to think about it; i am usual at the loaf in early season or late. that one time in prime season; it does seems to be a bit more forgiving. so far the spring is cold/wet/raining; make letting snowboard go so much harder.
