Popular Post Carvin' Marvin Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 After reading some posts on the Half a Run thread I’ve realized that I might have a problem with my ruts. They are too big, like, embarrassingly large ruts. High G turns really get me going so I try to put as much umph into each turn as I can do I always end up displacing tons of snow and bleeding speed. On top of that, my humongous ruts are a nuisance to the public and scar up the hill. I tried super stiff boards but I can still taco those boards like it’s Tuesday. Any suggestions? Long side cuts? Race shapes? Help a brother and his big ruts out! 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Job Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 I just had a great idea. Pair up with an extreme carver. Have them run ahead of you. Human powered grooming. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronG Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 I nearly separated my shoulder while dragging a hand with the LCI one morning. Who made that rut? Big Mario. Good times that day, just kept my hands off the snow for the remainder 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Yesterday with the LCI. Like 10 of us... We all went to the Practice Field early on. My impatient self and knowing I had to meet up with the wife and her and her newbie skier girlfriends at the valley, separated almost immediately from the group. Had it to myself that first run, second run up and it was a wasteland... The onslaught that must have ensued after my departure must have been devastating. I think of the children lost in the trenches. The skiers so miserable that the precious grooming was gone so quickly. i went to 3 and did my very best to ruin it for the general public... Mission accomplished 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
