Ok after another dry Tahoe year I decided to sell some BRAND NEW never mounted 179cm Line Influence 105 skis. These are 2011/2012 version (same as this years except the graphics). Just been sitting...

rip bill :(

All,

As a coach with SBST, John Henderson's death was a huge tragedy and I personally re-live that day.... everyday I am coaching. In any case, this was shared with the SugarBowl community the...

Yeah, B is a great little skier. I am sure your 10 yo could get there in a few years! B started with me when he was 9/10. Of course now I couldn't touch the big air stuff he does now :).

Just...

got it.... if he wants to race, save your $$$ and skip Far West/USSA.

you might check out the Kinder Cup Races at Heavenly: ...

telemike -

next time you're in town, i'd love to hook up and make turns with you and Owen... sounds like his ripping. as far my personal thoughts on starting him racing at 5 (and this is with my...

i have an athlete i coached for 4 years in teleing who will be competing. he is the only Jr. Competitor who was invited to attend (out of 10). he won the junior division for the telemark free ride...

hey maggots....

this is indeed one of the saddest things i have personally been a part of. i am a coach for SBST (was with Alpine Meadows for many years). like any ski program, we received lots...

yeah, unfortunately i am "stuck" here in Tahoe. my folks decided to come *here* for Christmas instead of us going to Maui. it also doesn't help that i now have a couple of race kids who need to...

bump for a great jacket (sorry it didn't work out).... FYI, I am 5'9" 145lbs and it fit great (the few times I wore it). it is basically BRAND NEW. GLWS!

looks like the new owners of AM are already mixing things up. i'll have to attend a job fair with the new owners if i want to apply for a coaching gig at AM. what a way of "thanking" me for my 5+...

i'll still be doing race... as of now, just some place else.

having said that, i am still looking at doing some tele days at AM... need to keep my "foot in the door" at AM/Squaw....

got my employee announcement letter from Alpine. sounds like there will still be 2 ski team programs for now.

glad i am spending the majority of next season at a different resort.... :fmicon:

peace to Kip and Allison.....

sweetness..... post'em up!

not sure if you were emailing about my 26.5 boots.... but yes, they are this years. got them in Nov. pretty much stock with no grinding etc. PM if you were interested.

Yeah, definitely demo them if you can. I have skied in Langes for years and was always in a 26 shell (for a more comfort fit vs my 25's when I was racing). With the new 97mm last, this boot feels...

I have a pair of this years Lange RS 130 in a 26.5 (306mm) shell.... NOTE: Lange's break on the 1/2 size so the 26.5 and the next size up is 27.5, These have 15-20 days on them and are in great...

i, for one, am super proud for how she skied. she really did kill it, and seeing her get first tracks through Christmas Tree was UNREAL... white room and all!

i know she was disappointed on the...

my kids keep trying to talk me into it, especially with a $10k cash prize.... slightly different type of event, but the last skierX i did 10 years ago (off the couch), i got 2nd.

anyhoo, being...

yeah... pretty bad week for AM....

anyhow, i'll be at Squaw coaching on Sat. you around? i'll be busy for most of the day... but could prolly be talked into grabbing a beer later! let me know......

as i posted a while back, i picked up a pair of P115s. after ~10 days on them, here is my "dear diary" review as well as a POV video on a mix of hard pack to 6" of light pow….

skiing background: ...

just a quick update.... early this morning our friend's mom and his son's grandmother (who i coached for the last few years in telemark skiing) passed away. i only knew her for a couple of hours.......

not to be a buzz kill.....

but we need positive vibes for some friend's of our's mother/grandmother, etc. if you were at AM on Monday, she was the person care-flighted out around 11am. it is...

a quick POV video from my 9 year daughter at Alpine Meadows yesterday.... the slopes look different when you are 4 feet tall ;)

apparently the OHC lil maggettes slayed Alpine..... Tiegel Chutes, Gunnars, Chute that Seldom Slides, Sherwood, Lower Beaver etc. they came home from Team pumped about their awesome pow day.
...

as Flexon Phil can attest... picked up a pair of 179s yesterday. :)

had fun on past P90s, P100s, so why not the P115s? anyhoo, i'll get 'em mounted up later this week and post up some thoughts...

I heard they might gunning for next Friday, the 26th. I guess we might hear more tomorrow. See you up there!
-OHC

very sad...

i was involved in the 2000 SAR effort for a friend on Shasta (the one which Dan Towner refers to in the article above when the rescue heli crashed.) i was literally waiting on the...

Mrs OHC called me after the results meeting. she was laughing about her results (6th out of 10 competitors). for the record, she decided to do the comp since it was CHEAPER to compete vs buying...

yeah... Mrs OHC made the cut and is competing tomorrow! there was a 2 hour delay (due to visibility) prior to her 2nd run and i guess she was completely frozen on her 2nd run. i guess the guys 2nd...

is starting today. just curious if anyone will be out competing or spectating....

Mrs OHC made a last minute decision to jump in the comp. i am stuck in Tahoe with my maggettes, so i'll have to...

yeah, this sucks.....

RIP CR....

i'll let The Dad fill in from his perspective at the bottom....

from my view, it looked like she had a decent run, but a bobble or 2 where she killed it yesterday. it was a different day with...

you should be proud of her. she stepped up HUGE!!! as her coach for the last 4 years, this was one of my best days on the hill.... i KNEW she killed it and it was great to see the judges agree.
...

yeah, i'll agree with this statement based on the Truckee-> Squaw traffic i saw on both days this weekend. definitely glad to see local businesses hopping....

both days were pretty fun days,...

this sucks....

been doing the "work" thing all week which i didn't feel too bad about until yesterday, when i KNEW Alpine was going to bust everything open. it is tough making the turn towards...

yeah sorry guys, flew into Reno Friday at 6:00pm... and drove home in the drizzling rain. my bad.... but judging from the snow on the mtn, it looks like everyone got lots of freshies the days i was...

hey all.... unfortunately i am OUT for tomorrow night. i completely blew it and forgot about something on the family calendar....

if folks are game for Sat night.... i am pretty much down for...

a quick check-in.... i think the Truckee maggots need to get together for some "pray-to-snow" gods boozing. anyone in for some drinks this Fri or Sat? Blue Coyote? Cottonwood? BofAmerica? Moodys? ...

HA! today i wanted to get to get on the interweb and TGR... but my fvcking power was out almost all day in Truckee (Prosser). i did get some "fresh tracks" skiing around the neighborhood in XC gear...

as a former ski tester for Backcountry/Couloir magazine (i did it for 3 years before Backcountry moved testing to UT).... this thread cracks me up.

of course we tried to come up with the stupid...

it was even awesome to build igloos this afternoon! got to test out the kid's latest Xmas gift.... :) we were able to fit the whole family and the dog in the igloo. pretty cool.
