  1. I demoed and liked them. But like Johnny said personal preference. If they are there I would demo them.
  2. I'd like to see the "quality" from the bars after Steeze bust his rhymes.
  3. I've been wanting to try the bacons. Try the theory, kendo and mantra.
  4. I started into the glades on Saturday and took a huge chunk out of my bases hitting fing rocks lol. Almost bit it hard. Glad they have snow in there now.
  5. Let me know what weekend works. I have a lift tickets already just need to pick a time to go.
  6. Did we figure out if a pasr day at sno is happening yet? Or still in planning.
  7. Nice you'll more than likely have my sister then.... Good luck with that lol. Once I get everyone in there lessons ill meet up. Should have my red/gray marmot and black/white spyder pants on. Same as my pic. Looking forward to seeing how great conditions are given the great snow making temps and a chance of some natural Friday.I tried convincing my wife to do the womens clinic but she hasn't budged yet. All depends on who all is up this weekend family/guest wise.
  8. Mount snow great terrain for intermediates with massive blues.
  9. Ya our plan is to be there at opening. We may do the whole rent for the weekend thing from Buckmans so I don't have to deal with the whole rental process thing. I should be on east mountain shortly before there lessons start. Guess we should plan a meeting time. You guys still do the top of the hour thing at the lesson area?
  10. Certain states public urination gets you on the public state sex offender list regardless if anyone other than the cop sees you. When I was in Iowa for a game thats all they kept telling me was don't get caught peeing in public like its a common occurrence.
  11. Ill be there with a crew of never skied before and the wife Saturday. Should be able to get a good amount of runs in before there lessons are over and I have to put my mock instructor hat on. Should be a great weekend with the amount of snow making they can do this week.
  12. Crowds. You act like people are off tomorrow..... Ugh....

    I need to start getting used to getting a little air. Now that i'm looking to do some more glade skiing i'm just waiting for that moment when I come up to a drop in the woods when I go out west and get screwed because theres no other way down lol.
  15. I'll be up there tomorrow morning. As far as the special goes, it says "weekends and holidays" on the website. Here's a link to the page: http://www.snomtn.com/index.php/tickets/2012-13-lift-tickets/ Glad to hear the conditions are looking nice. Thats what I saw as well. Shouldn't be a reason they wouldn't honor.

    Frightening when there web page says 0-18 base....
  17. Nice I think a bunch of PASR's are planning on being there next weekend. I'll be there Saturday with my family.
  18. Always good to get up to VT. I need to figure out a time to head up myself. Haven't decided where yet thinking Stowe or Jay's Peak or something like that. You skiing anywhere this weekend guitar.
  19. Great info here much appreciated. I'm looking for something that can handle the rare east coast powder/crud but that I can still get into the trees/bumps with which why I wasn't going for a huge ski under foot. Seems like there are a lot of options that will serve my purpose that I could still use day to day on the east coast. Coming from my first pair of skis (Atomic Smoke) so this is a whole different monster.
  20. Headed up to camelback this morning mainly so I could participate in the demo day. We arrived around 7:45 and booted up to head out. The demo day didn't start until 9 but the Scott rep was pretty cool so he let me sign a waiver and take a pair of Dozers out. Headed up and made a run down asp which shocked me how nice it skied. The new skis really powered through the crud and turned like a gem. After a couple more runs including rocket and Marjorie's I headed down to switch up skis. Got a pair of Rossi 88's which I really enjoyed. The ski just turns like its on auto pilot and really rips in the spring snow. Hit up Tuts and asp to try them out. After returning and heading back out I wanted to get a pair of atomic theory but they were out so I hit the Vokl tent for some mantras. I'm not sure if it was my inexperience with a significantly longer ski or a much wider base but I couldn't get the ski to turn as well as I'd like so after my runs down big pocono and asp I headed back down. Theory's out again so I tried the Scott crusade as it was comparable. Hit rocket and asp and this ski moved the conditions were spring slush but this thing ripped effortlessly. Finally got on the theory for a run on rocket and asp and I found consistent feel with the crusade. This was the end of the demo day so after getting back on to my own skis we stopped for lunch. After lunch was the real workout of the day as we headed over to the other quad. We headed down nile mile which had piles with some brown in spots but was skiing pretty well and fun. I realized how much benefit the other skis i demoed would have been on this trail as the piles were there to be driven. After this run we lapped cliffhanger which my normal experience consists of ice... This trail was awesome today with soft snow and snow piles up so you could hop your way down. Lots of fun as we hit another run on Nile and a couple more on cliff. We hit up a couple more runs but at this point my legs were burning so after a quick refuel in the bar we hit the main blacks on the quad and ended the day on asp which at this point was becoming dangerous as the fog was raising and with the low light the snow was damn near impossible to pick up. All in all I had a lot of fun today with the exception of the lack of visibility made it tough to pick up the bumps in the snow and wearing my googles was pretty much a waste of time. Got to try some new skis and put in some much needed ski time. Hoping the weather treats is right going forward.
  21. Should be there for first non-season pass holder chair.
  22. Demoing ski's tomorrow. Definitely looking to upgrade to something that can handle the soft stuff better.
  23. Nice I was planning on coming there tomorrow but the demo day at Camelback is taking me over there. Will be there in two weeks for sure though.
