So, did they work, and how were they? Show everyone proof that your ride was a success (or even a complete failure)!

3/31/09 alpy

Post by doughboyshredder »

not a real TR, but today was sick. Spotted some nice looking homebuilts, and said "hey, are those homebuilts?". Turned out it was nick's sticks. Good to meet you dude. I gotta say Nick was hauling ass on those swallow tails. After mobbing Schluct I kindof hit a deep drift and looked to my right to see Nick mobbing past above me. :D

Good day, and it was awesome to get some turns with another builder.

Killer day. It was fun rippin a few lines with you. I hope you got more turns in before they closed the lifts. If this weather holds I'll be up there again on Tuesday. Cheers.

4 out of the last 6 days and I am worked. So good though.

Some serious storm riding and then today to top it off. Now sitting at a 209" base. Rollen cliffs are almost filled in!

How about Saturday the 18th for a skibuilders session? Snag a section of lot 4 for bbq action.

19th works for me, I'm gonna try my hardest to get home before then.

It was 77 deg here in Wichita Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning it was snowing. This place sucks.

This is a great idea! :D
Unfortunately, I'll be out of town this weekend. :(

If you guys do get together, let me know and I can donate some skibuilder's swag.
