FTA2R Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 i am going up there for a few days with some friends on Thursday. I have never been there. Can anyone inform me of conditions and give me recs for carving trails (nothing too steep). Should I bring my good board or rock board? thx, Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy D Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Definitely check out the Carinthia slopes for carving. (Upper Nitro to Titanium, Mineshaft) That's where I had the most fun. But there are also quite a few other trails well-suited for carving: Snowdance, Southbowl (If open/groomed), Sundance. Mineshaft gets a bit steep, but it's usually well-groomed with a nice even pitch, and wide. I don't know what the snow will be like, but if you can, bring both boards just in case. (Rain on Wed...) EDIT: If you can, get to Carinthia early (IE-first chair) to beat the crowds, then as lunch approaches, work your way across the hill and then back again mid-afternoon. That worked well with me for crowd-dodging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTA2R Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 many thx, i've printed out all the recs from everybody. I will be riding my silver donek FC 163 (it has custom black graphics) most likely sunday if there is decent coverage and it's somewhat hardpack. I wear a black helmet, white burton jacket, and grey burton baggy pants. i'm 5'7 and will likely have a camelbak. otherwise i'll ride my Burton BMC 156 (maroon). i will waive to any hardbooters I see. if anyone else is riding at that time or sees me, by all means stop me. Barry ps I ride with music, sometimes a bit loud, so if it looks like i'm ignoring, i'm not, just wave, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
