Real Time Reports

[RootDKJ]

I'm going to try to post some Real Time Reports (RTR) of Killington from the Blackberry, and the easy way is for me is to do that is to bookmark a single thread.

I also think this would make a cool new on-going thread. So all you Crackberry and iPhone users, post some stuff up. You know you can't resist.

u think it wouls be cool to have a mobile version of the site. as alot of the posting options dont work in opera mobile. havent tried it in skyfire.

 

[RootDKJ]

Opera for BB is what I'm using. Blackberry browser doesn't handle the frames as well.

 

[hardline]

it handles the site fine its just all the buttons in the posting interface will not work. i can post and do it but it would be cool to be able to take pics and send them from the phone.

 

[RootDKJ]

ahh, I agree on the pics, that never occurred to me cause my crackberry doesn't have a cam

Two years ago I did a RTR as I did a 40+ mile "epic" mountain bike ride in Northern CT. I couldn't post pictures, with my old Palm based Treo, I think I can with my newer Windows based one. I'll have to try it out. The forum looks fine on my Treo BTW.

Interesting that your using Opera. I never had much luck with that. But I have upgraded to OS 4.5...maybe I'll give it a shot.

Love the real time update idea Root.

i have used every mobile browser and it seems to be the fastest. skyfire is kinda cool cause it does its zoom thing but opera loads pages faster.

Killington Jan 4 2009. Cold sunny and windy. K1 and SS lifts were on wind hold. Not sure about the Skye or Bear areas. Got a really late start and didn't make it to the meet spot. I called and sent KingS a text for an afternoon meet. Snow and crowds are good, there some sections that are very wind blown. Some snowmaking going on, but most of it seems to be blowing into the woods. Spent first runs of the morning over on Rams Head (noticed Swirl closed today).

Did a few nice runs off Snowdon quad. Chute nice where not windblown. Carveable all the way though. . Going to take K1 and try to make my way over to Skye to see if the wind is less over there. My toes are getting cold today so I'll be ducking inside at times. Sprint coverage here sucks this year. No signal at Bear. Ok at K1 and Skyship. Really good at Snowshed, go figure.

K1 was really windy ride up. Took Blue Heaven to Bear Trax to Bear Claw. BH was sweet, BT crowded, BC good, but crowded. Took SPEQ back up.

The new trail layout and renaming is still a little confusing to me, but I knew I wanted to hit the Skye Gondi, so I took GE into Cruise. CC was the best run of the day so far. Sun is blazing down on skiers left making it nice, soft and fast. Empty also.

Got to the gondi to find it wasn't running so I tool the Northbrook to High Road. HR was pretty nice with a few slick spots. Gondi still wasn't turning so I decided to take the Northbrook to Snowshed to get lunch. Tried to hold a safety meeting on the 2nd ride but couldn't get it orianized due to wind. Snowshed slope has some nice rollers to it. Lots of nice milfs here.

No, we kept winding up at different lodges. Not sure on tonight's plans yet. Right now, there's a hot tub calling my name.
