13/14 Tahoe Thread -- Raddest Thread On The Internets!!!

[kidwoo]

Ok, I have to ask. Does anyone have a pair of skis I can have? Preferably Bent Chetlers or something of similar specs? I blew out my ski today, and there is no chance for repair-its toast. I don't have a lot of money right now, something about trying to be a ski bum, but I will try my best to make up for it. I'm willing to post stoke in this forum, work in a shop, help press skis, wash dishes, trade jokes, show you my stash, or even go pro for a pair of sticks. They don't even have to be in good condition, or have good bases (you should see the old skis), just as long as I can mount them up and go tour.
Thanks
Will B

Check the half a pair thread in tech talk

Also shoot me a pm if you don't find anything.

[willie61]

Yeah, all those LA folks are entirely different

Tahoe = more Asians=more dangerous

Mammoth= more surfers=more weed=more mellow

[willie61]

Orchard or crystal?

Crystal then Starring in Eden prairie

Is anyone hiking BC this weekend that wouldn't mind me tagging along? I'm on a split board and I'm not rando racer fast, but not slow either. I am Avy 2 certified. I like trees, chutes, steep stuff. I know my way around, most the stuff out at Carson pass, west shore, and Rose. Looking for ski/ riding peeps to hike with.

If TahoeJ option does not work for you I have some well used skis that I would welling to part with for cheap. I will be up at Alpine Friday.

check you pm.

[powdork]

well it looks like my season has come to an early close. built a kicker out at elephant back yesterday and landing wrong after over rotating a backflip resulted in a tibial plateau fracture of my left leg. i'll have a proper tr including including the grueling way out as soon as i get some painkillers and then some sleep
from an earlier succesful jump


ashley was unscathed. good thing too, cause without her i'd still be back there

[Ottime]

Bummer man. But those pictures are pretty sweet. Heal up and eat super foods or something.

[TeleTahoe]

Scott opening today.

Sorry to hear that, I am always stoked to see the pics you post. Bummer.

I have an old pair of EP pro's you can use till you get some new sticks, but they might be to soft for skinning.

Bummer powdork - right when things were looking better. Sweet photo.

[QUOTE=powdork;4183746]well it looks like my season has come to an early close. /QUOTE]

PD I have not meet you in person but only know of you through Matt C. Looks like you will be meeting my wife soon if you do any PT at Barton.. Heal up soon. Could be a 6-8 week non weight bearing + recovery / rehab. She is a great Physical therapist. Helped me through my ACL/MCL grade 3 tear, Shoulder surgery and most recently a grade 3 separated shoulder. If Nacho needs a play date to get out send me a PM as my dog is getting older and doesn't do so well on extended outings.

Get better soon.

[rod9301]

Get well soon,pd.

Use a electro stim machine at very high intensity on your quads and glutes while you're non weight bearing.
I did this and actually gained muscle mass, instead of losing a bunch.

Just when you think that the douchiness bar has been dropped as far as it can go....

I will be up at Alpine Friday.

See you there!

Ouch. Hopefully no major soft tissue damage to go with?

Heal quickly and well.

[jahroy]

that sucks to hear.

this place is gonna be a lot less stokey the next couple months.

get well soon.

[shakyknees]

Powdork, very sorry to hear that. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery. This thread will suffer without your steady supply of stoke.

[LightRanger]

Yep.

Slam that PT when you can, powdork. You'll be back climbing, and patch skiing with Dookey and Vets, before you know it.

My bet if you combine that with the Electro stem, your recovery will be much faster, install a web cam and you can probably make money off the whole deal.

Is that how you hurt your wrist last season? Be careful. You'll want to be able to use two poles once you start skinning again.

[Wobby]

You guys are all awesome! thanks for the generosity and the help...should be out there again soon. May be getting a hookup through the shop I had them mounted at, since they drilled through an old hole and swiss cheesed my ski pretty badly (the guys at the alpine meadows tuning shop wouldn't touch it), but fingers crossed.

Also, heal up PowDork. we will miss your stoke in this thread!

[The Dad]

I'm not sure that it's an either/or.

THANKS FOR CALLLLLLING KIRKWOOD!!!!
Stick your TR up your ass!!! The Kirkwood earth spirits are not pleased with your constant shit spraying on teh interwebz.

[StormDay]

as i get some painkillers [/IMG]

Highly recommend painkiller sex with a partner. You are suppose to resting and not risking any further injury.

Hopefully, you will have a speedy recovery. If you Dr think it would help, I have an ultra sound bone growth stimulator from breaking my leg. You might ask about it. It seems like snake oil, but they are suppose to reduce recover time by 1/3.
