Thread: Long Board Day - Alpental - 2012

Well this is what I have been waiting for all year!

Already got some practice days in on my uncle's old 215cm Rossi Rocs. Those skis made nash bumps pretty challenging for sure.

SHIT i just remembered I work that day. I guess they will be getting a sick call before they open.

You going to roll sans full face?
Not sure I'll recognize you without it.

Dear Seattle....make the contingent proud:

it would seem like if i needed the fullface for any day it would be the day that i plan on straighlining moguls with many a beer in my system.

and dont worry ill still have my purple pants so you can know who i am

Those Kneissl's are bad ass.... You need to bend up those poles though...

Speed skis eh?

I'd pay to see you ski Le International on those.
I'd pay double if you wore the helmet

hope the dude is looking out for the bumps coming up fast

Nah...those are jumping skis. Tyrone had the 240cm Speed skis and looked way more doable. heh.

Here's Slim holding them...

That's one hell of a picture TR, too bad the music link is broken...

4 days and counting.
I you can't find 210's, find 205/7's and mount something to the tails or tips to bring them into length requirements.

I just scored a set of 223 fisher RC4's in cherry condition with the big holes in the tips they were 3 doors away in my neighbors basement

do you just ski & drink beer or is there a race as well?

Skiing of course, some amount of pole whacking and of course, numerous runs back to the lot to "re-hydrate" ... No racing per say.

Wait, so it isn't a race?

Whata da fuck is Chinese Downhill?

OK, maybe for everyone else, for you it's just a time trial

Racing is contrary to the spirit of the event, Long Board Day is a celebration of skiing’s golden age of radness.

Good news, the forecast is for freezing temps for Saturday night and Sunday isn’t looking horrible.

music link fixed...thanks for heads up

z-bo has already put in the weather request so that part of the day is on him

Jesus Al, jump in the truck grab some schuss boomer pals and get down here. It's only a 2.5 day drive from you! Don't make Shames the only NWBC hill at the "event". Wish I'd a brought my bendy poles, didn't know there was a race

The only way to enter the race is to consume copious amounts of hallucination inducing products. Only you will know if you win or lose.
