ChunkyloverOh yeah I'm only half laid up today. 90% of pain has subsided, guess I just needed to sleep for like 30 hours. Tried to air the dorito chip and was too late on my early grab, so lost my skate and collar-boned. No injuries tho.
I'm heading out to the Pacific NW tomorrow for a snowskate comp, Serpentine Massacre at Hyak, and then off to ride @theabortionator 's snowskate bowl course at Crystal. Wish me luck!
Right on, I miss my Crystal Mountain folks, different vibe up there for sure. Goodluck!
This was at PCMR. It was crazy. The crowd was way bigger than what you can see in the video. I'm pretty surprised vail allowed such a thing, but even ski patrol was sending the jump so I guess everything was kosher. They were cracking down on people bringing beers in bags at the lift, but plenty of booze still made it up, if you could hide it on person it was fair game.

I cannot believe I missed that. I made it out for the last PCMR closing weekend before vail bought it and it was insanity.
lil.quinoaJust got a deal with Look Bindings and Pit Viperrrr. Filming at snowbird if anyone will be up there on may 5-7
I'll be at snowbird if you want someone to ski with, I'm definitely not doing anything film worthy though. Also gonna bring the snowboard out at least one of those days and try not die making it slowly down peruvian. I wish they didn't close chickadee so early.

Holy poop sticks. Home slice at the bluegrass band shindig came out to my truck with me and friggin kissed me, gosh dang. I was finally chill with being single, but gosh dang I miss that crap.
do you ever go “I’m over you!!” Then you see that human and the two of you clearly aren’t over each other because it’s going to hurt when I leave Flathead and go back to Bozeman. I did it to myself but still.
I'm considering buying a super short, flexi, dedicated spring slush ski. Probably the volkl revolt 95 in a size 157. I mainly want it to ride the tiny woodward pc spring park, or for doing flat ground tricks and slow speed laps because the lift lines are long, or hike jib laps. I haven't ridden anything that short since I learned to ski, so I'm having trouble pulling the trigger (even though I'm 157cm tall) it just seems so short, my smallest ski currently is a 164 stiff full camber pipe ski (atomic punx 7). Tell me why I shouldn't add a tiny fat park ski to my quiver.

i'm planning on basing out of slc again this season!
My boyfriend told me he loved me tonight. I have caught myself holding it back on a few occasions so I obviously told him this time. Feels good man. Fees food.

It feels like ski season. I'm sitting in the living room with skis laid out and a tape measure agonizing over where to mount my new park skis. I re-watched that stomp it tutorials about where to mount and I'm stuck between mounting volkl revolts at -2 or -3. I think jems is right, it doesn't make sense to mount true center on a directional ski. The revolt is a twin, but it has more rocker in the tip than tail and it's not a symmetrical sidecut. I dunno why the recommend is at exactly true center. Even my atomic punx, which actually are symmetrical have a line for mounting at -2 (which is where I like it). The center of your foot is not where the human body carries weight. If you stand with your knees bent (like in ski boots) your weight will be biased towards your toes. Just how much so is the real gamble though, as everyone has different anatomy and I'm sure foot length plays a role as well. -3 sounds good cause the skis are more asymmetrical than the punx, but they're also shorter skis, so maybe I won't feel like I have enough tail, so maybe -2 is right after all. Bleh, I just gotta pick something.

So, its been 5 hours ..What did you decide?
Ski season is so close. The weather finally cooled off today. Cool, windy, rainy, and my heat kicked in this morning.

I got them all taped up with masking tape and instructions to mount at -2.5 as a testament to my indecision. But then I drove to the ski store near my house and they were closed. Off season hours means they are only open Thur-Sun. I feel like I re-learn this lesson every year.

Haha good compromise.
Of course 🙄 the limited hours. Hope you get them all set very soon though!
If you guys don't already know about the knee's over toes guy on youtube and instagram you need to follow this guy. I've been watching a ton of PT videos on youtube, mostly to rehab my shoulder cause I mildly tore my rotator cuff in a crash in early spring. Like most skiers I also have some knee pain occasionally (thankfully no serious tears or anything). Anyways I stumbled across this guy and I've been doing some of his exercises this past week and they've made a world of difference for my knee. He was told he'd never have full function of his knees, and now he has crazy strong and flexible knees with zero pain despite multiple surgeries and ligament tears. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheKneesovertoesguy/featured
katrinaJust had first day of skiing. In summit, have all the passes but not all the friends. Hmu if you're trying to shred!
Also trying to hang out in SLC a bunch again.
Yipee! I still have at least two more weeks with the way our weather is going.
Sounds like me, not all the friends. I have like only one person I'd call a friend to ski with but she's kinda flaky and doesn't go in the park at all

I just need to peer pressure others into being my friend lol

That's the one good thing about living in a ski town, I know plenty of ladies that are happy to cruise groomers with me, but it's a completely different thing to get them into the park. I have only a couple ladies I will occasionally ride park with and one of them is a snowboarder. I have 2 ladies that claim they will ski park with me this season, and another couple that say they might try it, so that's way more than I ever have in previous seasons. We'll see if it pans out. I feel like everyone is kind of flakey these days.
Katrina, if you are skiing the smaller parks in PCMR HMU. Three kings is too much for me, but I like pick axe and little kings.
We definitely have enough snow to be opening some of the resorts but I think most places are hard set on their opening date (which for most places is still a month away). Brighton might open early but I think it will still be another couple weeks. It's kind of sad to see all that snow in the mountains and not have any lifts spinning.
I think I made my boyfriend mad tonight. First he seemed off. He was shutting down my compliments a bit. At one point he said he loved me and I said I loved him too and he said ohhhh do you? (Over text but I thought he meant that playfully) and I said duh!! But then he said “don’t duh me” Usually he uses a silly emoji when he’s kidding, and he didn’t. I could be overthinking that or misreading that -I’m not the greatest over text. After that I gave him a couple compliments and he kind of shut them down and he seemed annoyed. I said sorry and that it seemed like I said something that upset him. He responded with umm what? Like he had no idea what I was talking about. I’m pretty sure he fell asleep or put his phone away for the night. It’s making me anxious. I hope he’s not mad. I hope I didn’t take things the wrong way.
Anyone based in the French alps ? I feel like this is a long shot but I figured I’d ask anyway. I just moved to Grenoble in September and looking for people to link with this season :) lmk ! Merci
I'm crashing a ladies park snowboard event tomorrow because it's my only chance to ride park with other ladies. I am bringing my girlfriend who snowboards and I'm hoping that will give me enough cred to join the group. I don't know why these events can't be more inclusive.
There wasnt much, but there's a few pictures of the set on Trollhaugen Instagram. I was hoping there'd be lady skier representation. I'll be checking out the park after work tomorrow as that's my home hill.

I totally did this like 3 years ago. I did ask prior to the event though and they were cool with it. I was the only skier 😂 there. I bug them every year about doing this again and also about having an adult freestyle program of some sort. They have all this stuff for the kids but nothing for the grown ups!
larilinesignBig announcement!
Most of yall knew @OregonDead and I were dating, but we just took a big step and moved in together over Thanksgiving. So it's like OFFICIAL.
Yaaay! For new life adventures!
I totally knew something was going on between you two. There were clues haha.
I'll give all my happiness to you guys as I'm still waiting for my ski (or board)dude 2.0 to show up my life ! The First one only lasted a couple years but it was great because he introduced me to this fantastic sport of skiing.
