Tim has just finished off the final 2 clips for the 2005/06 northern winter. Here are some low quality versions (these are 8meg – the full quality is 800meg – should look good on a 42″ LCD, they actually come out as movie quality). Little Jimmy’s Compilation Tom’s Compilation Remember – right click and then save target as. They are in MOV format (some crappy … Continue reading Final footage for 2005/06
As well as a tonne of people arriving over the next couple of days – there is another big storm coming through. In the next 48hrs we expect a minimum of a foot of snow. I’ve had a couple of boring days doing some end of month/year paperwork and I’m pretty pumped about some pow. Spent the afternoon doing a little tuning (see pic below … Continue reading Another Storm on the way
Over the last couple of days I’ve heard about this Colorado storm from people in other countries (Spain, Aussie, NZ and the UK). It is true there was a bit of snow but it did come the wrong way for most storms and we didn’t get as much as Denver itself. We only got 19″. Pali’s up at A-Basin opened during the last day of … Continue reading Yes the reports are true…
Over the last 3 weeks or so now we’ve met a few of the neighbours. Next door is Grandma Bloom – Jeremy Bloom’s Grandma (Jeremy Bloom is the new voice on the Warren Miller films – I think he is an Olympic Mogul skier). Tonight we had another neighbour drop by – we didn’t know if he was dangerous (I’ll ask Master Yoda tomorrow – … Continue reading Meeting the neighbours
This was a mid morning run on Saturday – few too many people around for my taste. I’m more a mid week skier. Couple of movies of Al and Jarisse – this isn’t what we normally ski but we’ve had a freeze/thaw cycle the last couple of days so offpiste isn’t too pleasant. These guys just had a week of race training in Steam Boat – … Continue reading Al & Jarisse – post race training.
Normally we get a couple of these a year here. He wasn’t a snowboarder and that being the case I am no longer a suspect…. KEYSTONE, Colo. – Dec. 11, 2006 – A 20-year-old male from Oregon was pronounced dead at St. Anthony’s Hospital last night after a ski incident on an intermediate trail, Spring Dipper, at Keystone Resort. A call came into Keystone Ski … Continue reading 1st Fatality of the Season
I enjoy having a nice cold arse….. Continue reading Another reason I want to be a slowboarder….
A sweet mushy foto to start things off. Big terrain park opened and Mark was keen to scope out some lines. The footage of us hitting this isn’t available yet – was all in our dreams thus far… but as they say “If you build it – we’ll throw ourselves off it.” Notice the dude who just launched that fakey. Mark has been replaced by … Continue reading Intense Mark has landed
Intense Mark is over from DC and while we wait for our TV to arrive we got to inaugurate the new chess board which was the first ‘house’ purchase we made. Continue reading Inaugural Chess Match
I don’t know about you but I hate Monday’s. All the weekend warriors have gone home, there is no traffic, no lift lines (not that we get those even on the weekends), no people over the hill and Josie doesn’t start work until 2pm so she can come skiing too. Started the day with a lazy wake up, bacon and eggs and then we cruised … Continue reading Why I hate Monday’s
Yes this was supposed to be jetboating on the Dart but it was raining and nearly snowing so we ended up on the Shotover. Kinda funny that my tone indicates that the Shotover is 2nd best – that is not how it meant to come out at all and since I haven’t been on the Dart yet I can’t compare. However, as you can see … Continue reading Jetboating on the Dart
After a couple of weeks of no snow and Thanksgiving crowds things are back to the way they should be – lots of freshies and all to ourselves. Pics never show how much it is actually snowing but in the foreground there is US Hwy 6 – closed? Nah takes more than that to close a Hwy here. Imagine the carnage on Frankton Road if it … Continue reading 1 foot of pow in 36hrs
