Arrived safe and sound and I'm at the condo! :) We stopped by the base of Abasin to see the Hart rep. Looks good! I have some photos but since they're not skiing, I'll wait until the good stuff tomorrow (and update this thread).

Can't wait! :D I brought the Maries and the old boots, so it should be good.

Looking forward to hearing the TR's and seeing all the pics. Have fun!

I may be up on Sunday.

I wear ratty looking green pants, black cloudveil coat, 4frnt with mountain scenic graphics and ugly looking purple poles with yellow grips. If you see me yell out brian.

Just look for the poles, they are sooo ugly and stand out.

Sick!

Haven't been in over ten years, but A-Basin is my favorite place I skied out West. I can remember skiing there for the first time when I was 16. I caught on with a local bartender named Pain Cave Dave. In that first picture, there's a GIANT drop right in the middle. I believe they called it the Quan. Dave dropped it with only about ten inches of fresh to land in. I would put it at a 50-60 foot huck. That was the first day of a killer week chasing locals around the hill.

LOVE A-Basin and hope you have a great time there.

The new stuff at montezuma is pretty nice. it adds some good cruising terrain similar to the cruisers on the upper half of the mountain.

I will testify that she only had a couple of spirited beverages during dinner, but she still has her wits about her.

Great dinner with Bears, Divas and Hart Ski Guys.
Test skis tomorrow and see how we can rip it up!!!!

Just so happens Hart Is having a bump competition. The Hart guys happen to love the Ski Divas!!
We'll steer Severine away from the bumps tho. Something about a weak knee or sumthin. :)

Oh yea. On EST we're up plenty early to hit first chair!!!
