^Is his head still attached?
Was hoping to, but won't make it with our two 7-year-olds (b/g). They were invited to a track meet today by their PE teacher. Excited to see them run together as the last two legs of a 4x100 relay. We will be back to A-basin for a couple of weekends this year and at Copper next year. Kiddo turns would be fun!
Sorry to miss everyone today. Have a blast!
Nice. But are you stuck with the Billy Carter of the family? Aka Amphibio.Yeah. Kinda. A bit bobbly.
Listen, I didn't get to try the Ripstick black we were looking at the other day, BUT I did try the Wingman 82cti. Might be a bit light for you since it blew me away even at 178cm - on the long side for me. On the other hand, Noodler liked it too, so maybe there is some there there. This is the first "high tech" carbon based ski I've skied that really seems to have the whole package.
Could have used you bumping around Saturday!Missed you today... by the time the bumps on Ramrod were primed and ready to go, no other Pugs were interested. I lapped them a few times myself, but it's always more fun to get a bunch of good bumpers hitting them together.
I figured I ought to try my demo skis in bumps, so I hit at least part of Ramrod on each even though they were still ice. The 80 mm Renouns were surprisingly non-horrible. The Stockli AX (UGASkiDawg's pair) were good. The Fischer RC One were a disaster -- three bumps and escape. The slaloms were ok, but I really hadn't gotten them under control.Missed you today... by the time the bumps on Ramrod were primed and ready to go, no other Pugs were interested.

At the end of the day I skied Exhibition on my own skis -- condiitons were nice.
Yeah, I think ice bumps and stiff tips dont go together well.Until the bumps softened they were very "exacting" of your technique and were kind of like an iced up toboggan run. The RC One 86 GT has an early rise tip (that actually starts rising fairly early in the forebody) and the tip is stiff. Once the moguls softened, the RC One had no problems for me through the bumps and the tip shape proved to be just fine; I was concerned because it flares wider through the up turn, but it's nothing like the Head Rally/Titan, etc. I'm a "skis together" bumper and the Fischer worked well for that style.
That would be nice. Where rendezvous? I'll send a PM with Paul's phone #.@P-Ute, let me know if you are still in need of a discount ticket at Breckenridge today. While I may not be able to ski I can come down and get you (and up to 4 others) a $50 buddy pass.
It was nice meeting you too,@JonathanR.Had a good time meeting some of you all and skiing with some of you.
I will have to hang out more next time but this was my first time to A-basin so I wanted to spend most of my time on the mountain.
But it was a great trip and I'm definitely up for skiing with you all again in the future.
