Doug thanks for the uplifting note about the liftie committing suicide...

Yeah I've skied 5 days I think. Everyday has been bluebird with powder off piste and packed pow groomers on the mountain. Really nice snow to just rip around on, the type that atomic and doug like, and me too when there is no pow.

Hello from Italy! I am staying in the alpine town of Sauze d'Oulx, the site of Freestyle skiing. Right down the road is the snowboarding venue and I'm not even gonna try to spell the name of that town. Today I worked at the Mens halfpipe and saw Shaun White take gold and Danny Kass take silver, it was amazing. I got a few pics and will try to post them sometime. Yesterday I worked the womens moguls and those girls can throw down like you would'nt believe. Right now we are working on the edit for the mens halfpipe which in about 7 hours should make its way to the states to be broadcast at 7pm eastern. Lemme try and post some pics... Aight I couldn't figure it out, but there are a few that were taken by my roommate and they were posted on www.snowboard-mag.com just minutes after the comp ended, so check those out for sure. Anyway, thats all for now, and send some of that storm this way.

From my limited knowledge of them, you really have to know quite a bit about snow conditions, temperatures, etc... If you put the wrong kind on for the conditions, it'll feel like you've put sandpaper on your bases. This applies to all waxes, but the difference is just much more noticeable with the graphite powder or pellets.

Hopefully in a month I won't even recognize the place, and in a good way!

Ski fast? Ski with style? Why choose just one? Join Freeriders and turn more heads than those who just go fast...

Yeah man I just wanted to hate on you a little bit cuz I haven't seen you in a while. I figured catchin up to you and callin you a b*tch would do the trick. Wish I had my big skis so I could ripped around a bit. You comin' up tomorrow?

Nahh I biffed. Next time.... Guys that ride with the Darkside on a regular basis cleaned up at Bear Creek today though. Kevin Thomas took first, Ryan Miller took second, and Justin Thomas took third. Good lookin' guys.

Good luck...

Thanks man. A lot has gone into it this year. There haven't been to many complaints about people going into the woods after the box. The only problem I've seen is people standing in the landings to the features and people getting run into. New stuff is coming soon!

Nice. Good luck at Bear! Wish I could be here to see alot of my friends compete... Oh well.

Werd up. Hows the arm kid?

I don't know whether it is being held on Raceway or not except for what I've heard on this board, but if that is the case then the quad and challenge lift shouldn't have any extra traffic due to skier and boarder X. The race itself is run down a course including berms, rollers, and jumps, and is run 4 riders at a time.

Usually you must enter to be able to ride the course. A few years ago they used to drop the ropes on the courses as soon as the events were done, but they havent been doing that for a while, and I believe thats due to the fact that runs like raceway are not listed as freestyle terrain so there are possible legal implications. Enter though, there arent usually a ton of girls that do...

Nice job Tretiak. Now you're only gonna go bigger! Yeah boooooyyyyy!

Yeah when I was out there, I think it was like '97 or '98, it was very rural still. There were like 2 taxis for all of Big Mountain and Whitefish, but there was always one when we wanted to go into town. Definitely an awesome place, I'm jealous you live there.

Haha I'm always wishing I can get in on this, and every week something else comes up. Oh well.

Thanks for the interest. If for some reason I can't sell them before I leave I'll pm you when I come back and see if you're still interested before I ebay em.

Yeah I'll be hittin it up.

No worries man you just gotta look at it from my perspective too. I'm sure you've tried to sell things, if not through PASR then through some other means, and its just nice to have people who are interested not have to look through 20 posts that have nothing to do with the actual product. I'm sure you can understand my concern when it looks like the whole thread is turning into a joke. As I mentioned I'd like to have these sold stat because I need money for my stay in Italy. I'm sure you know by looking at many of my posts that I like to joke around just as much as everyone else, I just don't think the classifieds are the forum to do it in.

Big Mountain is soooooo sweet. I was there years ago and it was awesome. Sib, has Whitefish become more developed in recent years?

Yo I'm trying to sell something here guys. If you think the price is to high or something, then kindly just look elsewhere. I think it's a good deal considering these goggles routinely sell for $120, and I've made it clear that I will entertain realistic offers. Skidude, as you are a staff member I would appreciate it if you didn't encourage people making bogus offers.

...

at least this bidding war is headed in the right direction... c'mon guys I'm just tryin to make back what I spent on them. I didn't even include what I paid for shipping in my asking price. Get close enough to what I'm asking and you may have a deal and a sweet set of A-Frames.

Haha. Yeah I was gonna apologize for the size of the pic, I didn't reduce if from 5MP and thats what happens. When I opened it up it reduced itself though, so I figured it would do that for everyone else. If the frame was black I'd be all over these too... I ordered them from an online retailer and they sent me the wrong ones twice! So I'm just trying to hook someone up who wants this particular color. Pays to buy local... Please make an offer, I leave on Monday and these will be ebayed when I come back.
