FKNA that looks like a SWEET trip... cheers!
considering snow melt and whatnot, later in the summer would be better. we should wait and see when silverton mtn decides to run their chair and book it around then. then we could hit up alta lakes, silverton, naturita, maybe ups/lps/porcy, and the ribbon and big marbles in GJ.Quote:

let's git it:D
nice...yeah, I emailed the site. I will let you know for sure...this sounds like it could be a great two or three day trip, for sure. In fact, since you know him, I would also like to check out the place for a possible site of for a wedding, as my fiance looked at the TR and freaked out, saying "we could get married there!"....immediately, I thought "what a great excuse to go check it out with my BIKE this summer...hahah"Quote:

Thanks! Talk to you soon!
Not positive, but I think Jen at S-ton was sayin somethin like 3 weeks late July-ish. Check with her cuz it's a short window. The season is lightning dependant...

Way to get it reidhresko that is a beautiful peak! Droool....Got one on my plate that has been calling for a long time too;) Thanks again for such a good time.
Zappa, it was really nice to meet you (again, I think, in pretty much a fog) and Buster. I love this pic! We need to hook up for some slednecking before the snow is gone.

Yeah, we might oughta head up Winfield way and beyond...
^^^I really dig that Red area - def a favorite of mine. Was a lil wierd skinnin up to that line - a friend of a friend was killed in a slide there where we uptracked and the sun was warmin things up in a hurry on it. But hey, with lines like that only a quarter mile from the road... who can pass it, right?
Here are some more Alta Lakes Pics from my POV. Since the debauchery was already covered in depth I'll keep it clean;)
Another early start...

GFP and I after the last run, with our friend and bc partner Johnny May, also known as Johnny Balls-Out. He's actually registered on here as Pudendal (heh), but he doesn't post. I'm slowly bringing him over to the dark side. :the_finge

we didn't take any skiing pics at Silverton- we were too busy skiing and wanted to get as many runs as we could. Believe me though, it was good. :D Our guide, who was Johnny's old race buddy Skylar, knew where to find the fresh.
It nuked at Telluride on Friday...

Saturday morning at Telluride was bluebird. I wasn't going to ski as I had a long drive to SLC ahead of me, but I couldn't resist a few morning laps. No ski pics, but the hike-to stuff was veeery niiice. :)

Marshal, what kind of ski was that blem base failure?
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...arshalbase.jpg
Looks like the DPS' came through for you though.
the base failure was due to a ski with the epoxy/resin being mixed wrong and had the base bubbling. i though i could fix it by cutting out all of the bubbles and gluing them all back on. the ski was jjust too far gone. oh well. i gave it a good go, and now its screwed to the roof of my shop.
Now that folks is one hell-of-a big mountain line :yourock:Quote:
