2017 Long Board Day - Alpental - Suturday, April 22nd

[SorryBro]

Great day as always. Taking the longboards into the stunt ditch caused quite a few confused looks from the normal park rats.

Padded seats were awash with colors



Jtgoat ripping down lower Nash



ACH with the usual good form.



Super fun day. Thanks to Seatown for manning the grill and delivering the goods to keep us full.

ACH and Bobby's invitee brought his 240s

Jesus murphy did he actually free ski on those beasts??!

Awesome work you guys, sure hope I can make it next year.

[Kopi_Red]

This is so awesome. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to attend the festivities next year.

Down Nash several times before he had to leave early. You'll have to bring your speed skis next year

[wyeaster]

all i see are wrecked knees in those skees

[Norseman]

The dude definitely got fuckin owned by those 240s, many times. But he also kept up with the group as it lurched around. I thought he looked dazed at the end of the day... happy to be alive kinda grin.

Sorry to miss it ! Where are all the off hill pics?

I do not doubt it in the least. Shit oh dear, back when I raced a bit there was a couple of guys who did a lap or 2 on the KL sticks just cause, but that was in the days of free skiing on your 225's (like as your all rounder). That dude deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award. Or some bacon.

edgarrrrrrr!!!!

Fun day, all!

[Buster Highmen]

Hear, hear.
Big fun.
On to touring season.

240's on Nash is solid work

My recent experience going back to straight skis leads me to say, hats off to you MFers who were rocking the long boards-- not sure how the fuck we ever skied before radiused skis came about!

I missed yet another LBD, maybe next year

BITD my slalom race skis were 201s and my GS skis were 205s.

That will get you in the women's division at Alpental

My slaloms were 205s but I'm still mystified as to how I was able to ski them

I was 5"11 and 145# at the time. Coach said I loaded a ski like most guys with 4 years and 40 pounds on me. I did just fine.

Top 5s for my age group in the province several times in several disciplines.

Super G was my best event.

God damn it's already beginning to smell like EpicSki around here.

[snoqpass]

Super G is for slow Downhillers

Yah. But downhillers don't actually have to know how to carve a ski.



They're like the park rats of the race world.

[snoqpass]

Bish peas

Come out and play, there were plenty of unclaimed skis waiting for a shot at glory.





More pics later. I think I actually caught mofro skiing, not just a blur as he went by

Nowhere near Alpentel. But I do the longboard days around here, usually dressed in my stuffed dragon onesy pajamas.

[Mofro261]

Always a good time, super solid crew once again.







Here's to a solid spring season.
