I only bought those CaBrawlers becuase I couldn't find the same skis that Pat has. I would much rather be more like him

Wow, you guys are brutal with the trash talking. And it's only early June. What's it gonna be like in late Dec - early Jan? I'll definitely be there for at least one, if not both, of the comps. That was a hell of a fun day!

You beat me, I'll go ski bumps the whole day with you somewhere up north, no glades at all. Just bumps, the whole day. (You can make the harsher if you'd like, I just can' think of anything better)

I beat you, and you have go touring with me. I have all the all the equipment you need, so all you need to show up with are poles and boots.

Deal! But maybe I'd tour with you even after kicking your ass.

Looks to me like it was the other way around, dontcha think?

Puh-lease. See above.

Now let's not get crazy. The Sundown comp is the only chance us hacks have to look cool. Those guys would totally steal our thunder... GSS is welcome though.

Should be a good time. I'd imagine at that time of year in southern NE its gonna take a little luck to have a soft course.

It will still be during the mountain's snowmaking window. They do a pretty good job keeping their bumps skiable during the colder weeks and will consistently top coat the moguls with snowmaking as needed. It's that period between when the snowmaking stops but it's still cold, and before it's warm enough to get spring softening that it gets a bit ugly. Anyway, this is CT. We could easily have spring bumps in January. Knowing Chris Sullivan though, he's going to do all he can to have a decent course for the January comp. The March comp is almost sure to have spring bumps. Gunbarrel too, remember!

Did they commit to having the March comp on Gunbarrel? Or is that just wishful thinking? That would be great.

Personally I think my avatar would have pretty good form. I know my A&E isn't nearly that good. Heck his pole planting is even better than mine.

My only problem is going to be the upper section of the course. The air, I can go bigger and throw more spread then anyone in that video, and the lower section I can just straight line. That upper section though, oh man, I think I actually need to learn how to absorb bumps, or I'll just wreck after like 3 turns. Maybe I'll just try to ski the whole course as fast as I can and hope that I don't completely wreck.

BTW: Tell Sundown to make that landing area longer. I'll probably land in like the 2nd or 3rd row of bumps off that jump (then obviously wreck).

throw more spread??? not sure i want to know what you mean.

Trust me, i dont think you'd want to land in the bumps off those pads. They need to build them so that we go up, not out. The landings got a bit rough after all the wipeouts and windshield skid turns from the hacks.

Easy there, bub. I can easily put together another short video highlighting your weak spread eagle as you "roll down the windows" air. Hmmm.......lemme think. That just so happens to be the air right before you laid down in the above vid. Not a good run for you, was it?
