jea seany way to rep the shops!

funny thing about that is that Boulder opened 1 month before Blue.

This wrong, very wrong. It is well known that on any given day the snow quality is worse at Blue than most others. GSS doesn't know because he doesn't go to other mountains once Blue is open. Frequently I would have a kid racing or at the park at Blue while the other kid was somewhere else. We are based out of Camelback. I have seen conditions from other mountains on the same day as Blue and Blue was always in a worse "condition". Bear Creek excluded. Maybe for park, or verticle hounds such as yourself, but certainly did not switch for the overall experience. If I had a choice between Blue or Camelback for a particular day, I still would go to Camelback. If my son had a choice on a given day between the two, he would choose Blue for the park and people that he knows there. My other son could care less, they are both the same to him. Over history, family friends have picked Camelback over Blue, they have done Blue for day trips because it was closer, but they preferred Camelback. BTW - we were CB pass holders for the last 2 years and are now at JFBB. We have a house at CB. Make sense?

we gotta hammer on Nips to put a skier edit together for them to post. They didn't post the opening weekend edit for some reason. apparently it has to do with the date? hey wezlo, do you wish you could get the file link on thier website too?
-
I have the Line reactor bindings that fit those skis. they should be fine for some one starting out.

my guess is that tomorrows is going to stall and Saturdays is going to zip right on through.

this is from noaa.gov for lake harmony Thursday: Periods of snow and sleet, mainly after 10am. High near 27. East wind between 3 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow and sleet accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible. Thursday Night: A chance of snow showers, mainly before 11pm. Cloudy, with a low around 23. East wind around 6 mph becoming west. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

ask doug.. if he doesn't answer, I am changing my vote.

It's not a flame Ski, sorry if it appeared that way. Believe me the more Sno notches up thier game the more everyone else will. I am really rooting for them. Matter of fact if they do open a decent pipe, I am fairly certain that nips will want to be there. He also has several good friends there, so... Anyways, I am trying to figure out why they bring Planet Snow in to set stuff up, while people who know what is up, like nick, work the rental shop. Really, it is a valid question. who resets stuff when it is needed? I guess I understand that they need Ryan for getting a cutter and running it. Our GM does the jump building and park layouts at BB - the on-staff crew does standing up of jibs and the fine tuning.
-
if the supposed storm hits who is going to reset everything after they leave this weekend?
-
so tying 5 foot long lug wrenches to each leg rather than tying one to two legs must be twice as nutso, agressive ballsy...
-
sticky!! hahahaha^^^^^ wtf? that was wierd.
-
prove it.. show me another video with that rotation
-
a lincoln you are always looking forward, his skis are way out forward hahahah a corked out lincoln.
-
This rotation is confusing me. It appears to be somewhere between a lincoln and a backflip. I have heard egg roll tonight but that is the first time I heard of that. If he added 180 I guess it would be a rodeo. I'm calling this the nip flip until I see another one with a name on it. The Nip Flip

Lake Harmony is a popular spot when it freezes over.

At some places they do in the same way at some hills they blow whistles to slow down. yah - it's cool on really crowded days - sort of like roller derby, just bump em off into the fence as you rip on by..

I used to scour all the websites and post the various events.. I guess I could do it again. They typically appear the week before at the top of the forums.
