carvedog Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hey good to hear from you. Glad you are still carving the surface of the earth. I was running some of the new hire/rehire clinics by then and got my level 3 in 97. If I am remembering right you are taller than I, about 50 lbs lighter and yellow jacket???? Taxing some nearly burned brain cells here but I know that we rode. I used to have the Ron Jeremy style porn stash and I am not a lightweight :rolleyes: . Oh well. Send a pic off line to refresh if you feel like it and hope you can make the carve session. If you read above we can get about 20 off tickets if we get a group of 25 together. No guarantee that we will reach that but it would be great to have you. Your offline email is not activated.

carvedog Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 http://www.sunvalley.com/mountain/mountain_cams.cfm supposed to keep up until Tuesday. Rain in the valley and snowing like hell on top. Season is looking great. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Nothing on discount tix yet. I have on more resource for the discount. And it is snowing big time right now. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 bump and 40 inches of fresh means the carving is going to be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 bump and 40 inches of fresh means the carving is going to be awesome. Carving in bumps? UGH... Anyway, I think I've ridden with you before too, Jerry. March 1997 when I was there on my honeymoon I took a lesson and I think it was was with you. Anyway, the dates you mentioned sound good to me. I'll have to talk to hubby (this is number 2 now!) and see what he thinks. I'll have to scrape up some money too and see how long the drive would take.

carvedog Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 We have just been pounded for the last few days. Kathy the bump was to try to put this back on the front page so people will know we are doing this. Anytime we have this much snow the carving turns awesome when it stops and will stay that way for a while. Sun Valley replaced their fleet of groomers last year. A dozen new machines - 4 million plus. And I have to say from what I have seen they are a bit better. Sun Valley will do nothing on tix unless we have 25 people prepaid for three days. So sorry no help their. The format I wanted to do is get on the mountain as early as possible 9:00 am normally. But working on early ups if the video angle works. Shoot some video for an hour or so. Rip up the mountain for a couple of hours review video around noon or 1 oclock. The rest of the day free ride. ( I will have to go to my store for a bit in the afternoons - no such thing as a day off). Happy New Year everyone and may all your carving be great, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I wish but I wont be ther till mid March. Hope to see you then,Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It is happening. The snow could not be better. Damn I love January up here. No people and cold chalky, carvable snow everywhere. Less than two weeks. Hope all who were interested can make it, 'cause I think it is going to be worth it. Love to get an informal head count on who's in. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RFT Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'm in. I live in Hailey and ride 4 - 5 days aweek.Today was killer, 3 runs on ws basically with no one else on the run. January is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I am going to push to see if I can get Wed. the 18th off and drive up for the day. Nothing solid yet - but I'll try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_t Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I may have to shoot myself if I do not make it........... Jerry, I saw Irv yesterday at Brundage. He may say hi for me. kt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hey nice carve pic in your profile. Irv is a good buddy of mine and can fake being a passable snowboarder for hardly ever doing it. He must have been giving a clinic. YOu going to make it up here for some carving? Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_t Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Jerry, Yes it is Ken I did some boating in the past with Irv, great guy. I followed him up to Brundage and chatted with him a bit before he did the clinic. I am going to try to get to SV at least for the Jan dates and may be some in Feb as well.

carvedog Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 too. Or maybe I did. Having two kids under five just sucks my brain out sometimes. I did do a big water Selway trip with Irv about four years ago. He is a fun boater to watch. I nabbed a permit on the Middle Fork this spring we launched May 21st ( it peaked on the 20th) so that was nice. One of the first trips out of Boundary. There was immense carnage the day before on Marsh Creek as some totally unprepared folks did the creek instead of getting stuck in the mudbog ( I did) on the drive in. 10 boats went under a log. Two destroyed frames, three shredded rafts, 1 likely broken ankle and many bruises and tattered egos. Guess I shouldn't thread jack my own thread. Ken ( or others) we have some bunk space at my house in Hailey and may have the cabin out back available to save on hotel expense - more for beer. Let me know.

k_t Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I did do a big water Selway trip with Irv about four years ago. He is a fun boater to watch. I only boated with Irv when I would see him on the North Fork. (my back yard so to speak). I don't boat any more, gave it up for too much work or something. If you have a spot for me I will take it. That would be nice. I know that you have done a clinic or exam in the past in McCall and if you are still doing that sort of thing let me know and if none of the instructors are putting you up, you can have my place to use. Not much but it is dry and warm. kt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I dropped out of AASI with the more freestyle orientation and two kids. Also it seemed they wanted to get more inbred in the division and I wanted to bring in a little more outside influence. Time to move on. I still got a lot out of it. but I am trying to do a little trip somewhere with my wife for a couple of days and I have always liked Brundage so we might think about that. If the cabin is available you might have a non-kid zone to bunk in - maybe with another bomber. If not we have three sleeping areas in the house and only need two. But with two kids under five, if one is having a tough time pretty much everyone in the house is having not so much sleep. So you are more than welcome. Still havn't heard from too many folks, might be three of us cruising around enjoying the finest carving in the west with no one around.

kinpa Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Sorry Jerry.... can't make it this time. I just can't get the time during the week and the drive is more than I thought it would be. I'm heading up to Big Mountain on Jan 21st and 22nd to ride with Shred Gruumer and his buddies. Should be fun! Big Mountain is only about 3 hours.

carvedog Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Had some epic, spectacular days already this month. Supposed to be snowshowers off and on all week. NOt that I believe one word of it. Ken are you still planning on coming? It is starting to look like you and me and RFT from Hailey. Which is ok but I may not have the video guy come out. He only charges $50 an hour plus some post production and he is good. I just don't want to pay it all myself. I thought if 4 or 5 of us each threw down a $10 spot we would be good to go and I would take care of the editing etc. I am starting to feel like that guy surfing Mavericks with no one around. This is a final call for anyone thinking about coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k_t Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 kt will be at Mavericks, I mean Warm Springs, in the AM on Tuesday. I am sending you my cell phone off line so you can call me today or tomorrow.<O:p</O:p If not I will most likely be having a fat pill or something in the lodge about 8:30.<O:p</O:p kt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Five or six inches already today. Supposed to snow another 8-10 tonight. Not that I am sniveling about the snow, but the likelihood of carving anything on the groomed or euro style is nil. On the other hand I will be on the River Run chair ready to roll at 9 am and would be happy to share a few lines that i know of with whomever would like to show. Purple and grey Solstice jacket. I will have a Burton Frontier 185. Ugly yellow and taupe colors. I also have a locker upstairs above the rental shop at Pete Lanes- I will be there getting ready around 8:30. Anyone there can guide you. There will be enough people coming out that you won't need the access code. Just yell Jerry - I am at the far corner. email for cell number or if you are coming.

Guest bettyryde Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi Jerry - Laurie here (& Chris) - we'd like to join in on some carving with you - though probably not tomorrow as it's lookin to be a lovely powder day - we'll keep in touch, LL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowjonny Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I will be up on thursday and possibly friday. I can catch you at the rr chair @ 9am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Captain's Log: One thousand stars out right now. Temp is cool to cold. And it looks like it snowed about 6 inches in Hailey since 6 oclock last night. After snowing steadily all day Tuesday. Thought it would still be dumping but a little blue bird powder day is all right too. I will still be in the lift line at 9 at River Run. Glad to hear you coming Jonny. Good to hear from you too Chris and Laurie. The video guy is on standby for Thursday am and confirmed on Friday am for one hour 9-10. For those of you in the valley it is Steve Ferguson who has been filming on the mountain for years. He is fast, has a new Canon G2 digital camera and is a buddy of mine. Hopefully we can use the video as teaching tool and I need to document what I am doing before I get too broke up to do it anymore. Then I can show video to my now one year old, when I am in a walker and say look daddy did now how to do this stuff. All for now. Look for you on the mountain. Anyone travelling be safe - there are a lot of people out there who know nothing about moving quickly over a reduced friction surface.
