I'll be heading out to haugen around 8:30 tonight to get there by 10pm. I wish there were more peeps wanting to have fun tonight so we could split the cost of another room. Tony- I'll text you when I'm getting near. ~Dan
Now he backed out. Sorry guys I guess its not meant to be. I will be there next Friday. Tomorrow buck or afton though!
haha now my brother is wanting to go, we are leaving in 5 minutes. I texted you tonyM but my phone is acting up, I'll be in the park if you get this, should get there at about 10:30.
nah just mini side wasnt here last year but apparently one of the kids on gteam saw it happen. Was still living in Colorado. I would beat the living piss out of someone if I saw it happening. I can climb up the rope faster then they could cut threw the rope. Not sure what happened this year but I was over on south and decided that I wanted to go to the park with my kids and almost there noticed it was broke so we took our 15 min break. I wonder if they got it fixed for tomorrow since I have more practice from 9-12. Hopefully I wont be hung over, if so oh well.
I love boarding, and yes half the people at hyland are "that guy". does anyone else frequent weltch? / have a season pass? a few buddys and i from the U have picked up the season passes there, (best 100 bucks you can spend :biggrin: ) i know i saw wrxwagon there last year, anyone else i should watch out for anyone else while doing ****ty's in the iced over parking lot's? :laugh:
Hey Tony, it was nice to meet you last night. Sorry I didn't stay and hit the bar with you guys, all the friends I wanted to come so we could have a good time ditched and the little brother wanted to snowboard so I just took some runs. Maybe next week or something we can all go again and actually have some drinks and try to avoid any concusions this time, right? haha. P.S. I tried to find your subie, was it there? I saw a black wagon, a white wagon and an older bug eyed black wagon.

All the pros from the dc snowboard team are here on a tour, they are going to Buck hill today and will be at Hyland tomorrow. I know Buck didn't even set anything up and if Hylands rope is down, thats gonna make for them guys laughing and leaving. Don't expect to see Ken Block in his sti either if the snow team thinks this place is a joke. (Which I think hes actually here as well, but snowboarding also and hes actually pretty good from what I've seen).
just rode whitecap mountain yesterday (my place of work) and they had anywhere from 2-3 FEET of powder depending on how the winds blew it. got to build a good 25ft booter into a powder stash and hucked for a good while. only two lifts were open but my boss said that a week ago the mountain was all grass. i love winter
I see a tent on the webcam, they were going out there at 10 (at least they did to buck yesterday). It looks so fun, I want to go but I work at 4 and have homework to do as well as wanting to watch the vikes game
For those of you that haven't been there and can afford a trip out west...it looks like Wolf Creek will have another good season! hip deep powder everytime I've been there.:yumyum: Summit Base Depth: 76 inches Midway Base Depth: 86 inches New Snow (24 Hours): 13 inches New Snow (48 Hours): 27 inches New Snow (7 Days): 64 inches Year-to-Date: 168 inches
Head Injuries are Fun!!!! You saw my wifes then, its a 06 black impreza wagon. But yeah, not wearing my helmet was so damn stupid. I defiantly learned from my ignorance. Cliffs: I didnt think i was going to ride any rails. I ended up riding them all night. landed in a rutt at the end of the night. Knocked myself out. :ugh:
I was up at Lutsen this weekend, they had 15 or so runs open, awesome weather on saturday.... then i had to go and dislocate my knee...FML ill be off the board for a little while to let her heal.
Helmets = FTW I also rocked myself bad last night. we had a boxes clinic at work. i was doing fine and then my board stuck on my last run. i twisted my board, fell onto my back, arched the box the wrong way on my back and fell onto my head and flipped backwards onto the snow.... infront of all of my co-instructors. almost puked, road down the hill.... then had to take 2 more runs to get to my car. needless to say i went home early from work and i can't put my own socks on currently. this week is starting to look like last week, if I can't break my house or my car then i guess i break myself. i must have really done something bad because Karma has been on me for the past few days.
^^^ well, it seems we got our third out of Derek. im sore too from it just being the first time. But, isnt that pain kind of rewarding?
I think so! Im very sore too but itching so bad to ride again, probably gonna start hitting rails (street) this week if anyone is interested!
No, there is no reward for what i am going through right now. but, man i do love snowboarding. it was good to get back out again, too bad i can't ride until Jan now. will be in STL for 10 days.
Not really sure yet. I've got a couple of guys who will shoot photos. Camera is pending on what my other friend is doing. I go all over though, if you got any ideas lemme know!
Buck Hill has a Monday through Friday early bird lift ticket specially priced at $12 from 10am to 1pm. It went up $2 from last season, bastards! Anyway, it's still a good deal if anyone is looking for an inexpensive way to get some riding in and has day hours off during the week. No lift lines, freshly groomed runs, and lap after lap of fun. Anyone interested in getting a regular weekly ride going at Buck? snwbdr94, you down with it? Buck was pretty good this morning. Not too cold, no wind, flat light went away after the sun burned off the cloud coverage. The snow was good too, not too hard, even a bit soft but not too soft. The ice rink surface hasn't set yet. The base held on to the edges and didn't let go. Me likes that.
^ Coo... But don't you live up in Canada? Buck is down in Iowa, right on the Florida boarder. It would take you half the day to get down there. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just sayin' There's one, who else is in? I'll need some more people to help me carry tonyM off the hill when he cracks his dome again. And if Flatline and ofspunk7 are in I'll need to let Ski Patrol know ahead of time to be on the ready. Looks like 95lwrx, Sir Lance-A-Lot, turbo_turtle, and WillC are the only ones left standin' after the weekend.
I actually work at a place right by Bursnville high (during the day, I work 2 jobs ) and school just ended so I can go anytime. I start work at noon but can start after 1, I cant afford to go every week but I can go soon. I wanna hit the new down rail at buck anyways. When you guys thinking about going?
I'm down for Buck. Just let me know when. BTW, when TonyM is knocked out, he's the heaviest sack of potatoes I've ever tried lifting, lol. ~Dan
So are we agreeing on Monday? Im really anxious to go. Did you say it was 12 bucks? I may have to go Friday if anyone else is interested? Sounds so damn fun right now!
sure go to afton when i am driving to STL. it's all good, i should be there every weekend starting in Jan when i get back to MN
I would come but money is tight. Im going job hunting saturday morning and go hit handrails after that. Know of any suggestions for jobs?
Iam going Tomorrow (wed) to Hyland to board during the day if anyone is there.. Sir I might have an idea for some income if you want to PM me.
ill be riding powder ridge (Kimball, MN) all winter with a trip to salt lake coming up soon and marquette probably in march! heres the board im riding this year and a few pics from last year
Freak accident yesterday at hyland, caught my heel edge when I was going to butter into a mega spin on to the butterbox. When I caught the edge, I kept spinning to the side of the box and managed to hit my face/tooth on the metal coping. Apparently you could hear the smack pretty well from 10ft away.
