Yeah that's it, I ride "grilled cheese in a foreman grill" style. Of course this is only for advanced riders. LOL

 

Me thinks I'm going to try to get up there early next week Mon, Tues. Cliff call in sick and let's go ride at sierra.

 

No prob, bruddah!

As far as the coordinates: the map on the NWS page, labeled "Detailed Point Forecast," has Latitude & Longitude as well as Elevation of the red square. These numbers are shown just under the map itself.

How did I get these numbers for that specific location, ya ask? I lucked out since Sierra's website has a sample GPS trail map that shows the coordinates somewhere along Smokey (backside). So I just tweeked the Lat. number to go a l'il further north toward the top of Grandview, and plugged that number into the url. And... Presto!

 

dude
if you do, let me know, me and my buddy soggy here on the boards will be there

plus, being a vertical plus member i can get you discounted tickets

 

Damn you, boyz! If I do hit the slopes in the next few days... it'll likely be Sat & Sun at Kirkwood since my softball teammate had suggested it. I'll see what I can do about Sun & Mon at Sierra instead b/c he's off til Wed.

Jeff... I know ya work Wed thru Sat now, did ya have plans on Sun already or do ya just like to hog the slopes to yourself midweek like we'd all like to ... I'll keep ya posted.

Max... I'll keep ya posted, too.

Let's just move back to the "rollcall" thread. Damn hijackerz!!! heh heh

 

I love to shred. I went to NZ this summer and boarded alot. Here's a pic:

that's a ****ty picture and a small jump

 

the worst part for me is getting off the damn lift. one time i fell down and the people on the lift behind me fell one me. holy **** that was gay.

 

Lol, funny stuff, and thanks a lot for the advice! I'm rereading all of them over and over just to get it, but I'm sure once I'm doing it Ill get it. THanks for all the tips everyone! and daredevil, thanks for the offer but im heading there saturday plus going to kirkwood. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm going up for 2 nights and 3 days, but only boarding for 1 day as we have other stuff planned. If we really wanna do snowboarding again, I think we can do it on Sunday but not very likely since $$ for lift ticket + rental = too much for me.

 

Get a job?

 

I will, I need to keep an eye on the weather. I'm not a big fan of wind, and white outs. I want to catch the *** end of this front. I'll pm you before then if I am going to make it up. I'm going to try to get my wife up there too. She's a groomer queen.

Cliff, let's make a commitment now so I can cut through the BS. If you can make it Mon, I'm there, bad weather or not.

Ray, if your reading this... SICK DAY BISHHHHHH!!!!

 

i have ****loads of extra gear and boards...
jackets, pants, boots, gloves, boards. you name it. saves you some dough on rentals

 

Well Monday is out for me, time for a re-tune at GST. Tues-Wed look good.

 

You got some you want to sell a newb like me?

 

This is true. If you are over-weight..it makes learning much harder and more tiring
