I'd say YEP! ...depending on which resort & what spots you hit up. Consider that places didn't run all lifts (i.e. upper mtns @Squawllywood & Heavenly) on days that were too windy.

Earn Your Turns, Bro! When I did this at Alpine yesterday, there were plenty of stashes even late in the day. Believe me... a li'l hike will be worth it.

Even though I was just out there Wed & yesterday, I may hit up Kirkwood, if I can convince the driver I'd roll up with to head there. That place has so much terrain that can only be accessed with some serious traversing or hiking. Earn Your Turns!

today was pretty damn sweet. snow was awesome. got a little warm but the snow stayed cold for the most part. still lots of area's for hitting fresh. not so many "Fresh Tracks" left, but you can still hit up tree's and its puffy and fluffy. i'd call it Whipped Cream.

good times, now a day of rest and ill be up sun/mon/tues

oh, first time i've hit a c-box in my life :\ i wanted to get it on camera so either it would look cool, or hilarious if i fall.

yes, it is sloppy, what do you expect for my first try ever on a c-box. video/link 1 is my first try and video 2 is my second. (ever folks, not just this season)

lets the flames begin

Pretty Schweet! ...considering ya were just popping yer cherry on that thing!



So I just got the call that were going to Sierra. I know it's gonna be nuts, but I'm hoping to find some of that "Whipped Cream" in some of secret stashes.

Who's down to meet up? Shoot me a pm w/ your #. I'll be meeting my ride up in Vallejo at 6 in the morn'n'.

Happy Sliding,

Nope... only did a day trip. I was stoked that the X-course was built up. All that snow that's been coming down has really helped. On my 1st run thru it, I eat it after the 3rd whoop-de-doo. I was like "WTF!" So after lunch I'm running it again, same damn thing! So we get back on the El Do' chair, so I can do this thing right. On the ride back to the top I'm telling my buddy that I think I'm going to my toeside too early since the 1st turn after these whoops is a right. I guess the saying "Third time's a charm." applied in my case. I felt like such a n00b!!! Humbling... just humbling, bro.

Anyway, it was a lot warmer than I anticipated. I did get to slash thru some of that "whipped cream" out in West Bowl & along the El Do' chair. Plus a couple of my favorite rock drops, too.

We're supposed to be getting another sprinkling on Tue nite/Wed, but I won't be able to make it out again until Thur. Gonna try to hit up Kirkwood.



gunmtl: I got your pm. I imagine ya woulda had a blast out @KW.

Went to Northstar yesterday. Great day!!!! they had a pipe contest going on so it was pretty crowded but its such a big mountain it didnt matter. Snow was great and lots of it, except the backside was kinda slushy. Overall great day. Cant wait for this next storm so i can call in sick and hit an epic non crowded day.

Cliff how the hell are ya brudda?!?! When we gonna hookup and go boardin again?

sunday ripped. Was warm but not too warm. Wore my hoodie and really only overheated on my head..had to take my helmet off a few times and my gloves to cool down.

CRUSTY in the morning but fun on the groomers...fast.

afternoon got sticky but was a BLAST.

I think I road the best I've ridden in a LONG time yesterday. Smashing down a bowl of my hidden stash and they're a big rock there with a nice run in. Hit that sucker. Flew a gap and stuck the landing. Did another drop. A bunch of floaty rollers and what not. Couple of BLAZING fast bowl runs. All in all a great day...great.

Road until I couldn't stand anymore....literally. Started cramping..did 2 runs after the cramps..haa.

Hellz Yeah, Ray! If I wasn't treated to all the tasty PowPow last Wed/Thur @Alpine, I'd have to say that Sat@Sierra was the best riding I've experienced in a while as well... even w/ the li'l "diggers" on the X-course. Still can't wait to hit up Bear w/ the crew this year! What's the status w/ that trip anyway?



Eli, everything's all good, bro! I'll keep ya posted in the next couple weeks here so we can get our shred on. Btw, where ya get your pass to this season?

Our trip is a go on the last weekend of march but I know it's short term for some of you so I'm thinking the last weekend of the season or some weekend in april.

Tell you what...you guys pick....we'll be good to go. Doesn't matter what weekend...long as at the earliest it's the last weekend of march.



yeah..snow wasn't the best I've been on but my riding was the best in quite some time. Was just going for it. Still sore.

jordon took a couple good diggers. One at full spring on bear boogie. One after he told me to watch him..haa. And another one trying to cut through the trees to homerun.

I didn't really go down at all. I went down due to weight being off when it got slushy but that's it. Kinda take a seat type stuff. Only once or twice. We hit some very cool ****.



Some kooks where trying to ride my stash. Got stuck out on the paths. Tried to tell me which way to go....needless to say jordon and I got to the bus first and they got towed in by a couple snow mobiles.
