SWEET dude! If you're up this way, give the Sheraton here a shout before the weekend and let's go make turns. What's your boot size? If it's anything close to a 303mm sole length, you can ski those dumpster Volkls of mine (trust me they're wicked sweet). Give you a sample of mid fatties instead of your long skinny straights.SkaredShtles said:

Hey! I upgraded. Just took receipt of a pair of 190 Volkl Snow Rangers. Vintage, but fairly fat.......Pau11y said:

Hehehe.. Ti++y deep for the average height women (5'5") would be about waist deep for me. Personally, I'll be pretty happy at ball deep. Hell, at the going rate, knee deep is more than acceptable since I've pretty much forgot how to ski the deep anyway.SkaredShtles said:Hey! I upgraded.

I still have to adjust the binders to fit my boots (sole-length ~330mm) I think.
Probably be doing something closer to home, but you never know. If da Boat looks to be nipple deep, the guy I'm skiing with will definitely be up for a 1-day turnaround.

Nad deep pow is fine by me..........Pau11y said:Hehehe.. Ti++y deep for the average height women (5'5") would be about waist deep for me. Personally, I'll be pretty happy at ball deep.

I've never even been more than thigh deep.Pau11y said:Hehehe.. Ti++y deep for the average height women (5'5") would be about waist deep for me. Personally, I'll be pretty happy at ball deep.

Edit: SS, you should have started this thread w/ CO Winter Porn what w/ all your nice pics. I especially like the one in purple; the thought of it is giving me wood
I know, I know...I've been deprived...
Well, you do ski the Front Range mostly, right?COmtbiker12 said:I've never even been more than thigh deep.

You're still young, there's time yet. However, I'm not too sure if this planet can take another 4 years of GW Bush and his idea of eco-friendly government.COmtbiker12 said:I've never even been more than thigh deep.

Not my fault I've only been mostly front range. My dad doesn't wanna drive further, lol. (yes I have my license but can't drive up alone yet). I'm hoping a spring break trip to Silverton will happen this year but I doubt it.SkaredShtles said:Well, you do ski the Front Range mostly, right?
Here are the places I've skied nad deep:
Steamboat
Steamboat
Aspen Highlands
Silverton
San Juan Snowcats (Purgatory)
Steamboat
Notice a trend?

I'll even tell you where to go find it:Pau11y said:
How deep was this SS? Looks about knee deep w/ GREAT boiling to about ball deep...?SkaredShtles said:Closing day at Breck a couple years ago............
Looks like a fairly common tree run on the southern side of a run that is next to the Colorado Lift? I'm not sure, I usually stick to Peak 8-Peak7-T-bar-6Chair, and that's about it.SkaredShtles said:[Python Fake French]

P.S. Every been here?
I "mostly" ski Front Range too. Well, I used to, back in the days before I didn't have time to ski.........COmtbiker12 said:Not my fault I've only been mostly front range.

Thigh deep pow for me has been at...
Breck
Vail
Otherwise I've only been to resorts around here...
Monarch
WP/MJ
Loveland
Keystone
A-Basin
Vail
You're lucky.
I dunno. It wasn't me. :mumble:Pau11y said:
Yup, and typically, no liftlines.SkaredShtles said:I "mostly" ski Front Range too. Well, I used to, back in the days before I didn't have time to ski.........
Problem with Front Range is you have to either get lucky with the snow or be able to bolt up on any given powder day. And the $hit gets tracked out like nobody's business.
Steamboat I can ski pretty much all day in freshies if the snow is deep........
-S.S.-
Nope. This one is worth the trip some time, because it's a nice, long, narrow tree shot.....COmtbiker12 said:Looks like a fairly common tree run on the southern side of a run that is next to the Colorado Lift? I'm not sure, I usually stick to Peak 8-Peak7-T-bar-6Chair, and that's about it.
Lucky bastard! Atleast I only have 2 more years of high school and then hopefully I'll be going to British Columbia for college. I'm hoping that I'll consistantly be able to hit ball-chest deep snow regularily in the backcountry and what not.SkaredShtles said:I "mostly" ski Front Range too.

Where is it?SkaredShtles said:
You going to a college in the Interior of BC? Whistler gets lotsa snow, but it's a marine snowpack. In other words, high water content most of the time.........COmtbiker12 said:Lucky bastard!

We'll have to try to hook up at Breck some time.......COmtbiker12 said:
Once I get thru Mines, I'm hoping to move back to Can. BC (specifically Vancouver) is on the top of a very short list of places I'd consider. It's either there or sun fun where I can play on my bike and in some water year round.COmtbiker12 said:Lucky bastard!

Oh okay... want to go up on Saturday?SkaredShtles said:
I need to get my cardio back so I can do top/bottom non-stoppers in the trees once the pow does show up. Pow days are ski-angry days. If you have to wait for a friend, then she better be REALLY hot and promises sexual favors.SkaredShtles said:And the best tree skiing this side of...................
Well, nowhere. Simply the best tree skiing anywhere.
-S.S.-
No kidding. I hate waiting for people when I'm enjoying some nice pow. That's why unless its on a run you have to hike to and we don't want to get lost I usually just meet them at the lift.Pau11y said:
Nah, nah. That's why we all have cells. We'll try to meet up, but never do 'cause we'll never wait for each other. We just end up leaving messages about how good a particular area is and they should hit it. I guess that's one good reason for cellsCOmtbiker12 said:No kidding.

DOOD, what's wrong w/ you? You live in arguably the powder capital of the world, or at least very close to it, and you are praying for no snow?! Put that bike away and jump on a lunch tray or couple of planks and go have some of the most fun you'll ever have in the deeeeeep fluuuuffy. There's a really big world out there other than your man-made wooden ramps and rails. It's like DHing, but on a different level and totally as funkorked7 said:
