BraddA Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 ^^^ Nice. Flachelor your home mountain:p? Picked up a new split today, hoping the next few cycles don't give us the finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yep. 30 mins from my door. Best snow on the west coast, and the most open terrain in the USA, currently. I just picked up a Voile Mojo XL 171cm splitty. Haven't tried it out yet but soon hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraddA Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Oh sweet! Yeah, envious of your maritime snowpack, that's for sure. You on pucks, plates, and...sparks or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dujo Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Decent coverage? (ie, not skiing over rocks and roots on the trails that were open?) Any idea what trails were open? I'm unemployed and bored... might be worth a day trip at those prices! I might be interested in a few weekday day trips. Would have to work out child care with the wife, but the possibility exists. Lemme know if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Oh sweet! Yeah, envious of your maritime snowpack, that's for sure. You on pucks, plates, and...sparks or something? My buddy has slider tracks, an extra set of binders and skins for me to borrow for now. He suggested I get the Spark bindings. I could get the Voile bindings on a pro form deal, but he said the Spark's are where it's at. Not in a big hurry since he has extras that I can borrow.

BraddA Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The Sparks themselves are great, but I've had such a lousy experience with the Voile interface that I'm currently trying to psyche myself into the karakorams. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Finally got to rip some powder. It was heavy and without a real base, so I caught some rocks and roots, but it was worth it! Still snowing here in Vail and I'll probably ski Beaver Creek again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattg Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 So ill on the mountain today. Snow was beautiful. Snowing the whole time but nice and dry. Nothing stuck to goggles or board when you got to the bottom of the lift. Derkson derby finals was today. Pros everywhere. I blasted up and was on the lift at 9 when they opened. Got 7 runs in and rolled by 11:15. Made it to my open house at 12:40 after getting gas (had 315 miles on that tank, should give you an idea about how empty I was when I pulled in the station) and stopping at home to shower and change. Was supposed to be there at 12 but it was to damn good to leave. Storming and snowing in Bend today anyway. Haven't had any traffic. Forecast is up to 50" between now and Weds.

mattg Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Dumping like a mofo in Bend. My buddy said the mountain was insane! I have nothing on my schedule tomorrow besides slaying deep dry pow. 15" in the last 24 plus we're supposed to get 8" more tonight. Should be right around 100" base at mid mountain by tomorrow morning. So stoked for tomorrow. High is forecast for 12* and the winds are supposed to die down dramatically.

Shotokan1509 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I've squeaked in 3 days of skiing in Catskills, very few runs of manmade but a bad day on the snow is better than a day doing just about anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattg Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It's a blizzard in Bend Oregon today. 5 inches of snow since 9am. Mount Bachelor has almost 6 feet for the week the temps haven't been above 30. I got myself 5 days of slaying powder this week for Christmas.
