Re: Any new lifts?

64 — 2010-03-17T23:52:23-07:00

I doubt we'll see any new lifts this summer and maybe not for a couple of more years. Banks just aren't lending right now and companies would be foolish to take on additional debt. I wonder how many people will pay for 2 years just to lock in the price and save maybe $25 or $30 next year. Doesn't seem like a bargain to me.

There have been a lot of quakes in SoCal recently. Maybe it's nothing but then again maybe it's a warning of an impending "big one". Either way, it's a good reminder to think about earthquake preparedness. The Chile and Haiti quakes are grim reminders of just how bad it can be.

Hmm..
This was way above sugar-pine, past psych-out, and somewhere where a skier or a boarder should not have been.

They'll still be out of control, they just won't be speeding, or at least speeding on their skis.

This cutoff low should be watched. There's no precip. associated with it as yet for us, but down the line its progged to become strong in the Gulf and East, so that indicates a strong circulation.

Re: So Cal Snow conditions

80 — 2010-03-17T21:19:45-07:00

This is a great season to be skiing locally!!! I decided to investigate Snow Valley taking advantage of the $17 St. Patrick's Day ticket today. The only thing was, the 330 is shut down so they can do some erosion control and the 18 is the detour. *** Whooeee, I have never driven that before and Rim of the World is right. Some of the annoyance of the long detour was taken away by those incredible views. At one point on the drive on the flatland, I could see Mt. Baldy, San Gorgonio and San Jacinto all plastered with a lot of snow. It may be melting at lower elevations but above 6500 the snowpack is still abundant.

I thought SV's snowcover would be thin but it was quite thick. Even though it was hot today, the texture was like granulated sugar and not super slush.

Since I got there late I headed right over to Slide Peak to take in the views and get a sense of bearings.

Panning east to west -- San Gorgonio

Piggy-backing on what you're saying SnowtigerDaniel, I never go on the weekends. I would be thrilled to see a deep discount for midweek only multi day.

Re: Time For A Powder Board

159 — 2010-03-17T18:38:10-07:00

Okay, so today was demo day. I didn't want to start a new thread, so this may be a bit off topic. I kinda like to get down in the weeds on this stuff, so I hope it helps someone. As it turns out, I demo'd three boards that Goodride had posted links to. My main goal was to try rocker/camber boards, as that's the new tech that's getting the most attention. My opinion is going to be affected by the fact that I've been riding a BTX board (LIb TRS 159) since last February. I rode each on a combo of conditions from flat out groomers to some hacked bumps and steeper sections to sun softened snow. No powder, hence the off topic issue. That said, I'm sure all of these would kick tradtional camber's ass in the pow.

Never Summer Premier F1 159. Rode this first and admittedly the conditions were super firm for the first 1.5 hrs. Since it's an all mountain freeride board, it's pretty stiff, and feels very damp. That said, it's super solid at speed, as I expected. To me it felt almost like a cambered...

Re: 2010/11 MVP Information

8515 — 2010-03-17T16:14:42-07:00

The price of MVP didn't increase this year ($576), but the lift ticket did ($87).

The price of MVP for next year seems to have increased to encompass this season's ticket increase as well as the increase planned for next season.

Sort of makes sense from a MVP program perspective (ski seven days - pay for your pass).

My 2 cents...
