Guest RFT Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Jerry Sorry we didn't meet up but powder rules were in effect. I get to the lifts just a little after 9:00. I have to take the kids to school first so I leave Hailey at about 8:15 and get caught in the east fork jam.I'll try to hook up on thur.am. If I'm a little late I'll look for you on warm springs.

carvedog Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 The carve is on. Cold and clear out this morning with weather supposed to be closing in a little in the afternoon. 9 degree at River Run 14 on top. Warm Springs and Greyhawk groomed top to bottom. Broadway top to bottom. and the cherry on the cake Olympic Ridge and Lower Olympic. I am trying to get the video guy for today since the weather is so nice at present. email me for cell number. I will leave the house before 8. Looking to be on the chair at 9 at River Run. Back at the top at 9:30, or at the least that is the plan.

Art Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Well? Jerry, can you still walk after chasing Jeff around? I'll be over in March and I hope I can get together with a few of you guys. Glad to see we are all getting snow this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowjonny Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 He can still walk- He dumped me at noon to go to work. We had a great group- did a little videoing on some awesome chalky slopes. I'll be up when you come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 who showed up on Thursday. It was awesome to see a group of carvers out rippin it up. Now I just have to figure out WTC and the SES. Today was really good too. Steve is trying to get the video to me so I can edit it while i am trapped in a hotel in Sin City. 14 minutes of footage. I think I want to have another two day deal later in February or early march. Snowing pretty good now all afternoon and early evening.

carverbob Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 KT, or others in the Boise area, Bummed I missed carving at SV last week. Had great carving trying to keep up with Tombo the week before. I'm just getting the hang of my Skwal, but am always looking for someone to carve with. Are you going up to Bogus tonight (Friday 27th) or tomorrow (Saturday, 28th)? If so, send me an email at bob_roehl@hotmail.com Cheers, B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I too am sorry I missed the days up at SV. Work schedule and family stuff just didn't allow for it. I'm bound and determined to get up there some day! Hope you guys had a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I think I will try to plan a couple more days here on Baldy for late February. Havn't got the video yet, but it should be fun once we get it. Snowing like mad here this morning. a couple inches already since 5. 4-5 on Saturday night with bluebird yesterday morning. Not the best for hard carve conditions but it is so nice to see the snow. Anyone trying to make any of the WTC days. I am shooting to make Snowbasin if I can. If it keeps snowing then it is the Frontier instead of the Burner. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Jerry, I'll be up at PC on Thursday - lookin' sketchy for Snowbasin on Saturday. If your around for the weekend, I may be able to meet you there. Only a 20 min. drive from my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowjonny Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Jerry, Kirk Kirsten (my wife) and i will be riding w/ the WTC crew all 5 days--hope to see on the mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemcse Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hey Jerry Whats up! I will be over next weekend to make some trenches. I would love to hook up and make some turns. Turns out it wasnt a torn rotator cuff and just a fracture which will hopefully get better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 The carving is epic right now. It seems a shame to complain about soft snow but when we did our carving here (just got the video back and will try to put up some clips once I figure out Final Cut a little more) it was a little soft for me. Perfect right now. Purrrfect. So your timing is good. Of course next week with President's hoo haw going on will be busier. Oh well. Glad you are healing. I am already booked for several days next week but I look forward to destroying some runs with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 The last two days have been epic here for carving. Especially the top half of the mountain. Get thee to the mountain if you haven't been. To the crew who showed for minicarvefest I have some video that I am trying to edit. New software....blah, blah. Havn't managed it yet. Will come soon I promise. Best to all Happy Spring (Winter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carverbob Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 CarveDog, I will be up there this weekend. Will be on the Skwal part of the time, and hopefully my new Renntiger (if I can find all the binding parts to get it mounted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvedog Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Cross post from a new thread. To those of you who are interested in SV carving. Would love to plan another weekend get together or something this year as well. I just don't have a grasp of a schedule yet. Ever wanted to be immortalized on the web. Here is your chance.My buddy Steve ( who shot some great video of us last year that I still can't figure out how to edit - but that is my bad not his) is shooting video for SV Mtn website on a regular basis. He wants to do some more hardbooting video soon after New Years and he asked me to get a couple of other guys too as I sure they more than my fat butt in there. Let me know. I am shooting for Jan 2nd or 3rd. Or Jan 8 or 9 depending on my teaching schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Jerry, Ill be over from the 6th to the 13th or 14th, hope to see the tour while we are there. Need to set a day (or two as I usually get two kid free adult days to ride while there) aside for sure. Ill buy the beer. Jeff, do you care to kick my arse all over the mountain again?

mikemcse Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I am in for sure. Let me know what day. I might have to take a day off. went the other day and the mountain was PACKED! Yikes. Cant wait for January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 How's the snow? Any precip? Every time I look at the webcam I see sun. Whats up with that? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey Mike Glad you're getting out. Kind of scary crowded at times isn't it. At least for us. A normal CA day perhaps. As soon as i have a day picked out I will let you know. Art, It's called SUN Valley. It's so sunny here that even when it snows it's sunny as it was all yesterday morning while it snowed an inch or so. Weird but I love it. We have been getting regular snow just not major amounts. I have been on Dollar all week but have a full day private on Baldy today, so will be more up to date on conditions there shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
