Okay....   Lets start pool. What is the date that they will have enough snow on the ground to hit some jibs with out getting arrested.  I predict  11-15-07 - now with that said.  Does anyone know what the Special Blend First Chair last call event is on 11-24-07 - That looks to be the official opening date. (weather permitting  ahhhhhhviously)

even though i feel that only the first two or three days are accurate w/ weather reports, that's looking mighty good.

Mt Snow - Boulder new big Brother opened today, I hope this is a sign of what we can expect at Boulder.


This is from the Mt Snow website.

Current Conditions and Weather (as of Tuesday, October 30, 2007 )


Comments:

Man oh man, we had ourselves a good 'ol time on Launch Pad yesterday. Temps hovered in the 20s Sunday night, so how could we NOT play with our shiny new fanguns, all perched and ready on Launch Pad? Dave, Director of Mountain Operations, was like the little brother from “A Christmas Story” with his new zeppelin on Christmas. “Aw woopee! A fangun!” We blew for 14 hours and built up five inches at spots.

Thanks to more temps in the 20s last night, the snow has held on beautifully, and a fun box, a flat rail and a barrel bonk are still set up on Launch Pad (thanks, Gaitor). In fact, Steve from Backside Snowboards is out jibbing right now, shirking his inventory duties (he called in siiiiick, bro).

You can come up and test our snow yourself. Just stop in the season pass office under the Clocktower for a free pass and head over to Launch Pad.

Have fun.

Luke

When you look at that way, yes.  When you consider that it will probably be a full blown park better than most during midseason.  then know.  lots of people pay more and don't leave the park during the season.  I would charge more..  hahahaha   but then again, I am mean like that!

yeah, i had a couple times where i actually thought i did re-tear it. scary shit. you know, just little tweaks that get worked out that feel really fucking shitty.  oh fuck by the way, when your scar tissue starts breaking..that shit fucking hurts. but its supposed to happen. no worries. happens about a year or so after surgery. do you wear a brace? i reccommend it for the beginning of the season at least..

theres nothing you can really do..i always just took my ski off and tried to stretch my leg a little. bend it a few times, try to crack it or whatever if it needed to be cracked. i stopped getting them  probably close to a year after surgery.. they just occur less over time. they suck balls though, no doubt.

haha christ eddie take it easy. Wear your brace (I dont know how much it technically helps but it defnitely made me feel better in the beginning) and try to work your way up.  Technically you're still recovering.  Then again you have balls. That may change things. I wouldn't know.

It's different for everyone..you can't base your recovery on other people.

i skied 4 months after my surgery, you'll be fine. just wear your brace! i mean why the hell wouldn't you? im over a year out and i just wear mine anyways, just makes me feel more comfortable. its definately a mental thing.

and yo, make sure you stretch really well before skiing, thats HUGE too. you'll be fine man, just stretch/wear your brace. and if the knee gets sore, take a break or take it easy, you're only 3 months out man...

Real quick hack edit. None of the footy we got was very good cuz we only shot on Saturday with piss poor light, so it doesn't really deserve too much time spent editing.

yeah here are a few clips from Saturday. We didn't get any good footage really (we only filmed for like 10 minutes)...

It's not edited at all, and clips are average.

Should give u an idea of the setup and stuff tho.
