slopestar Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Good Friday Morning! We are once again assembling our band of misfit carvers in Aspen Colorado. AFC 2023 or All Friends Carving. Dates are Thursday, 2/2-2/6. All are welcome. We like to reserve as early as possible, a large group house near Snowmass Village on the bus line. For those heading through CO to Montucky Clear Cut, this is an excellent warm up and is considered "on the way". Thursday 2/2 is usually spent at Copper before moving on to Aspen. Monday 2/6 is usually a ride if you want to before moving on day. These dates are set but no reservation for lodging has been made. Interested parties should contact me directly if you should like to join in on the group house. We would love to see and ride with anyone wanting to participate. We follow in on the heels of Winter X-games and the mountains are usually quite empty. Hope you all are having a great summer and hope that you might join in the fun this winter. definitely the best days of the winter for me. Many of us have extra boards/gear we are willing to demo including www.alloysnow.com. Thank you Bob Limacher/Cold Surf for the Photo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cthulhufish Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 It's snowing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhufish Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 In case anyone is in the area and hasn't heard yet, Aspen and Snowmass are opening early: Saturday the 19th. No word yet on what runs will be open, but I suspect it will be a typical opening day, i.e. mostly the main runs with snow making capability. Highlands and Buttermilk openings still scheduled for December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) We are Just a couple weeks away! One bed (bunk room) is still available to anyone looking to bunk up with us. Its a mixed crew of Boarders and Skiers. Katie and I are heading up in a crew cab truck so I will have room for gear shuttle from Denver area to Aspen and back if need be. X-games timing is perfect as they leave on Monday and we arrive Thursday. If you are on your way to MCC from CO, you should probably stop in. Looking forward to this so much!!!!!

softbootsurfer Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Please be aware that the Kids Programs start again at Milk on Feb. 4th and 5th at Buttermilk...you will not want to be there on those days... Saturdays AVSC, while Sundays are a Special reduced rate, for All VALLEYWIDE children... Great programs, but not so great for Carving 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamifumi Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I am planning to do as much of Aspen Mountain (Copper Bowl, Aztec, Ruthie’s) as I can in the morning and maybe hit other mountains in the after noon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey John Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Just arrived this afternoon. Staying at the Snowmass Mountain Chalet. Any consensus on what mountain for Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhufish Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Snowmass I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamifumi Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hello, I think there are different ideas and some are going to Buttermilk. For me, it depends on the gondola of Aspen Mtn. I Heard it wasn’t running today and they are re trying to fix it. If they are re fixed, me and another rider will be at Aspen mtn in the morning but if it is not running then Snowmass Friday! I am checking the gondola issues and grooming report in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
