2022 ~ 16th Annual at A-Basin in May Event

[Chip]

Volkl Blaze that he got a wicked deal on last week at Sugarloaf.

He better be after all that pain and suffering we all endured from that thread....

 

[Drahtguy Kevin]

Where are the pics and video of @Gary Stolt?

I got one action shot.

 

[Jim Kenney]

This shot would appear to be worthy of some sort of Ski Talk meme!!! And is that cupid shooting an arrow in the background?

You must be new here.

Seeing the angst @Tony S goes through over every trivial event provides us with the insight that our lives do not really suck all that much.

That is some active thinking.

Meanwhile....

Real spring day today at Breck. Sun was roasting. I wore dark goggle lens over dark sunglasses muchof the time. Plus jacket zipped up to the goggles with hood to flee the light.

And dark sunglasses under the goggles. Don’t think there’s a shot of my burqa style.

 

[James]

On way over Loveland pass. 50 deg on Abasin side, 44 on Loveland.


Skis of the day. Vintage Kastle 26m FX104.


Fair to Middlin up on the Ridge. Chair 9 up there was the windiest chair rideI’ve ever been on. First time was prob 40mph sustained headwind.


Above the roll over on the Ridge.


Looking at Keystone from the Ridge looker’s left. Seems to be a fire behind Keystone.


Infamous Chair 9. Hoods against the wind.


Up on the Ridge way Looker’s left.


Snack hut top of a lift. You can grill your own stuff outside on the deck.


Tony looking at I70. Skier’s right of Chet’s Dream lift.

Some of us are skiing spring powder and others are just reading about it on the Internet.

Anyway, no angst, just good old fashioned American consumer lust.

Yeah, this is a great shot.
@Jim Kenney apparently it's Ullr.

New sculpture of Ullr intended to reflect the spirit of Breckenridge

While visitors and residents might not be able to curry Ullr’s favor at Ullr Fest this year, there is still some hope that the fabled Norse god of skis and the bow may be impressed...

Some of us are skiing spring powder and others are just reading about it on the Internet.

Some of us are doing both.

Still didn't get a confirmation on the ski.

What "All Mountain West" Skis to Try?

This thread is surreal...it is such a microcosm of this board...lol. I love how far off the reservation it has drifted to answer his supposedly "simple" question of his All Mtn West holy grail. I, for one, appreciate it as its almost made me buy 3 more pair of skis..... :D

SkiTalk characters at Loveland


Slush bumps on the runs right above the base area were heavenly this afternoon.

 

[James]

Tony in Avalanche Bowl or Over the Rainbow off Chet’s Dream Lift. Slush bumps were fun as they slowed you down even on the steep terrain.






Mike in Over the Rainbow


Headed back over Loveland Pass towards Abasin.

I just picked up Beach Spot 7 on Tuesday 3 May. Forecast looks beachy!

I got to the Beach gathering later than others on Tuesday, so maybe this had already been addressed: can we pitch in $$ to cover the Beach Reservation costs? Happy to help out!

In the past we had a thread specificially for donating to the beach spot.
I'm sure if you want to paypal or venmo Sbrown some $$ she'll be grateful. I know the beach spot cost has gone up a bit over the years.
We used to get it for 100.00/day but the last time I reserved a spot it was around $275. IIRC.

 

[Tricia]

Whoa. I haven't seen @FairToMiddlin for a long time.

 

[mdf]

Struedel!!

 

[mdf]

@James skiing a circle on Sundan e at the end of the day..

 

[Tony S]

Struedel!!
