  1. Great day for sure! It’s been a few years since I rode, but it was fun to get back out there.

    I rode from 10am-4pm. A little icy on the first few runs, snow softened up a bit early afternoon then pretty much straight ice after 2-3pm and called it a day. It probably doesn’t help that my 11 year old AR7’s have no edges.

    Pretty sure I saw Justo cruising with a few others, but missed the rest of the early birds. I’ll have to let y’all know when I’m at Blue next and maybe we can link up for a few runs.

  2. The days are getting shorter and we are only 2 days away from when the northern hemisphere begins cooling. Thought it might be appropriate to get this started.

     

    New Mountains: Stratton, Jay Peak, Burke, Saddleback, Big Tupper, Treblant, Mont St. Anne, Le Massif, Ragged

     

     

    I recently got back from business trip in Canada. Our hotel was located right at the bottom of Mont St. Anne. Cool little area, mountain looked pretty cool, not much to do after 10pm unless you want to drive the 40 minutes to Quebec City.

     

    My goal this year is to ski once every week and do some kind of trip out west. I was thinking Alta, Park City, The Canyons, Deer Valley, Vail, or Jackson. Also planning on picking up a pair of fatter skis this year, something between a 102-110mm waist.

  3. If you're still riding park and want a good all mountain ski too, I'm convinced an east coast one ski quiver is not possible. My park ski is always gonna have dull edges, and for general all mountain skiing, unless conditions are stellar or springlike, I want sharp edges. That said, on3p kartel 98 should get the job done for ya

     

    Thanks Justin!

     

    It's definitely hard to have a one quiver ski for east coast use. I'm not into park as much as I use to be, but still find myself going back to the park when I'm bored with just taking regular runs... that being said I probably ride park more than anything. I'll look into the on3p's. How do you feel about the Armada ARV's as being more of a one quiver all mountain ski?

  4. I've been looking into getting some sort of one quiver ski for this upcoming season. Looking for something a little wider between 95-100 in the waist, nothing super stiff or soft. Right now I'm riding 181 Armada Ar6's...

     

    Also the new Nike goggles are definitely on my list of things to get. 

     

    Any suggestions on skis will help. Thanks  :wiggle

  5. I know XNick, Wolverine and MontageRider used to represent the Rictor Bees circa 2006. They were a mad steezy new school free ride crew. I remember them convincing me to hit the butter pad at Montage and it was creamy...

     

    Hahaha, never will forget those days!

  6. I was up montage this day myself! Snow was great, park was way better then expected. Ate it pretty hard on the c box which was fun lol.

     

    Hopefully things at sno turn out well for them within the next year. Wouldn't like to see that place get shut down after riding there my whole life...

  7. I don't know how many of you still go to college, but if you do hit up Big Boulder on Wednesday nights for a $15 pass (with proof of student ID). If your of age to drink, they have a $2.50 beer special. I am finally departing from Philadelphia tomorrow morning, and will be back on snow this year at Big Boulder on Wednesday the 21st. I can never give up the college deals, anyways...who else will be attending?

  8. Once at each mountain.

    Wow thats a total bummer for me... I guess I thought it was too good to be true. Looks like I'll be traveling a lot more this year, not like I get time to ski anymore anyways....

     

    Anyone know where to get JFBB, Blue, or Camelback ticket vouchers?
