Hell's yeah to that!!

No shit sherlock... I guess he should've started a new thread for the same topic??

So far just these - Ninthward Rory Silva 183's but it's not the off season for me yet...hopefully

This footage and video pretty much sucks, but I've never made one before. None of us ever used the gopro hd before and kind of just tossed it on someones helmet and pressed the on button whever we got off the lift. (My buddy bought it two days before we left for the trip...lol) We have over 50gb of footage and I went through literally two files to do this as honestly the files make me seriously sea sick. Nothing exciting on it really, no tricks, rails, or cliffs here so it's pretty boring to watch Anyway here it is.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YldBL307Zzo

It's honestly hard to go wrong with Volkl's (I like next years Bridge's a LOT.. I'll stick with the indy's though)

Sorry man, I thought you'd get a kick out of the whole When the cops got your crops thing.... lol Actually I still think it's pretty damn funny

The new ski progression is crazy... I still remember the progression from straight long skis to parabolic skis. It's a shame Shane McConkey won't be around as his litte idea will be changing skis forever. They are finding more and more ways to use rocker, sidecut and reverse camber into all mountain tools not just powder skis now. Take a look at the freeskier preview of the new skis for 2011 on freeskier.com a lot of good shit coming in the next few years.

next weekend (if this rain shit doesn't kill it for good) Can't make the 2 hour trek two days in a row

Molly.... your boots are absolutely sick.

Just because I like adding skis to my collection... I picked up yet another set.. Sticking with 9thward again ordered a set of 183 SFS Rory's from 08/09 (mainly because I like the graphics better than the 09/10's and they are the same ski... a little cheaper as well) http://www.ninthward.com/skis/0809rory183.php 140/113/130 183cm, soft tip / hard tail 24 meter turning radius These will more than likely be my everyday mid season and east coast pow ski So my quiver will be... (in order by length) 06/07 Icelantic Scout AT boards 143cm 140/105/130 turning radius 12m <- my toys and gaper day skis 06/07 K2 Public Enemy 179 118/85/109 turning radius 20m <- Early season and thin cover ski 06/07 NinthWard Firstblood 180 123/91/116 turn radius 24.5m <- Everyday all mountain ski 08/09 NinthWard SFS Rory Silva Pro 183 140/113/130 turn radius 24m <- Everyday fat ski 08/09 NinthWard Nick Greener Pro 190 145/115/132 turn radius 30m <- Powder ski Who the hell needs carving skis anyway?? ok so my PE's and firstbloods pretty much overlap The Rory's and NGP's overlap as well as far as waist size goed, but the NGP's are a serious hard charger ski and everything on them is damn near a jump turn. The 24 turn radius should be better for everyday use as a fat ski compared to the NGP's which are just a beast and better served for my out west trips. After buying the NGP's I found myself using them all the time and wanted to find another fat ski option with a better turn radius on them for both the east and west coast. Originally I was looking for something in the 100 waisted range, but I like my 9's and the Rory's were a sick deal on skis that I know could be hella fun. Maybe...I'll sell the icelantics but I doubt it... they are fun as a toy...lol

I hate the hot weather... anything over 78-80 is pure f'n hell for me at work. Nothing like doing hard ass physical labor running around in a tin box warehouse getting timed for every second of the day to meet quota's pulling heavy ass car parts all day. I break out the 1970's sweatband just to keep my glasses free of sweat...

No problem man... I'll tell you closer to the weekend which day I'll be able to make the trek up there. I have 3 more after Dime's so feel free to claim one if interested... I'm not positive but about 85% sure Mike has one left on his pass as well.

Worthless without PICS

Retiring from park skiing isn't a bad idea when you've had 6 concussions IMO. I had a feeling Boulders conditions would be superior... I haven't skied on snow like that in a while. It really through Michael for a loop... he's so spoiled at JFBB they just make the best snow with those fan guns. Boulder is just sooooooo damn short... I'll be there next weekend. (I still have some comp tickets on my season pass if anyone needs them on a day I'm going, no charge of course.... don't let your PA season end prematurely because you don't want to cough up coin for a few runs.)

Sorry couldn't hang with everyone for long, Mike was struggling with the conditions for some reason. Not sure really what was up with him today, but whatever... made the best of it. Definitely by far his worst day of the season.... I thought it was pretty damn good considering it was March 27th. Good meeting Root and Dime whom I never met before.

I don't even do the shit, but thought it was funnier than hell..

I know you are in the West Chester area and thought you might need this someday.. Just lookin out for ya bro..... lol

I could do that once or twice.... like literally once or twice... haha

I'm hoping Boulder stays open until May : )~ I'll be there every weekend until they close...except this one

You coming tomorrow Dime? Was hoping to meet you and Root as never got the chance to ski/ride with you guys yet.

Can you ski around the features too or is it just a park thing? Big fat guy + Park = Comedy routine for you and Ambulance ride for me

I can't sharpen my edges for shit (basically I've tried before and couldn't figure it out so I just don't do it) and none of me skis have anything even close to a sharp edge on them anymore.. I can't ski for shit anyway so it probably won't matter much for me... haha

looks like you guys had a F'N blast....

East side only... wow that kinda sucks. I'm trying to make it happen...
