  1. any pics?
  2. Ah, so you finally posted? I didn't get to see you that one night on your tele's, but I've heard from people about a guy going "switch on tele's on Asp" as for the advice? Sorry, you know what I'm good at, and it's definatly not that
  3. For the normal folk? Less then 6 hours I'd venture, but when you get on 87, you can set the cruise at 85+ and just chillax. I think I've made it up there, with light traffic on 78/287 in slightly over 4 hours w/o stopping once. I'd say 5-6 with gas and food and bathroom breaks.
  4. for variety, okemo is nice, and have some very nice slopeside accomodations....
  5. Mad river is skiers only, is it not? Okemo is very nice, I go there at least once a year in previous years (not once this year, though). Alot of trails, during the week there are NO liftlines whatsoever, some really nice glades, however if you like it REALLY steep, Okemo isn't the place.
  6. Sib, I have the problem of the water creeping up my arm, even with my Gortex golf stuff, it creeps up my arm. however, the rest of the jacket stays perfectly dry. When we were at BC this year, it was raining, but I've had weather 20x worse at Okemo, and when i took my jacket off, I was perfectly dry. Gortex is amazing.
  7. I think I asked dthmtl everytime we skied/rode together why he wore a hoodie each time. I mean, I love to wear mine when it gets warmer out and the sun is nice and high, nothings better, but at BC it was pouring rain, he had his hoodie. At CB when it was freakin cold, he had the hoodie.
  8. We'll have to see.
  9. Blue's cam is still showing snow
  10. no question there, his brother is amazing. too bad he wasn't around for blue's slopestyle, would've definatly seen a podium finish
  11. not bad, but uh, for a 5 minute movie, you should really have it be 10MB, at least. Our PASR Vid @ CB that i did was 9MB for 2.5 minute long video. You can't see crap with what you've compressed it to.
  12. I'll continue to order online until Ski shops can compete in prices w/ Ebay. Ski999 bought a pair of brand spankin new Atomic SL:11's for around $200. What will $200 get you in a store? Maybe 1/4 of the price of Volkl 5stars? Ebay rocks.
  13. I've wondered about that too, because Ski999's GS:11s are actually 21m (the dimensions of the ski changed for each length), but the new ones change for each length. The 176's i plan on getting are only 18.5
  14. Taken on May 9th!
  15. Rob, tell me this, what are you now trying to get out of this? You just seem to be arguing, perhaps until you get a free pair (seems to work for you), but either keep the skis, take the socks, or send them back. I do not see what you're trying to accomplish.
  16. My current ski, GS:9's, are 15m @ 170. However, when i bought them, the ad said 16m @ 180, and i was actually expecting a 16m ski, but when i bought the 170s, they came and they were 15m. I didn't really care at the time, but now, if I thought I was buying a 16m ski, and a 15m came, I'd be a little upset, but he's right, it's the way you do it (and the way atomic, for instance, states the radius on their website)... The question is, was this new pair of skis really needed? Doesn't he already have two pairs of fischers @ different lengths and different sidecuts? It's the skier, not the skis.
  17. Just order it online, Don't see what the big deal is? Save yourself the hassle. The shipping will be less then the gas it takes to get down to Q-town and back for you.
  18. what happened to the pic when we were actually looking at the camera?
  19. sorry, just had to use it
  20. what i was saying, is that don't bust on other people stuff when they are trying to sell it. He may have lost a potentional buyer, because of Gurp's negative comments about the skis. Unless you know of a specific thing wrong with the product the seller is selling, and not revealing to the buyer, keep comments to the positive side, as not to detract from the things being sold.
  21. Hey, how would you like it if you were trying to sell your K2's and someone was busting your balls about how crappy of ski it was? I bet you wouldn't like that.... Lay off the skis.
  22. Well, that's me skiing, i can tell you that.
  23. We're having one this Sunday By invatation only, however.
  24. and you do?
