Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hit 15 over the weekend, only halfway to my season's target... it's going to be tough. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I hit 28 this weekend, I think. Still 42 more for my season target but I have 2 big summer trips lined up. My big risk for the summer will be weather induced down days with summer hemisphere skiing being mainly above the alpine. I should be able to break my post-the-start-of-my-working-life record of 60, at least. Link to post Share on other sites
Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 70? That's a pretty impressive target for someone in our game. Where are you planning summer trips to? Make me jealous. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I do the Whistler terrain park camps every June and this year I plan on hitting Chile again as well. I made a promise to a guide at Exxum that I would let him teach me ski moutaineering, which would be in May in the Tetons. I am a bit scared about that one though as I can't even make it up the wall at that artificial rock climb in Hakuba and it is only 12 feet high... Link to post Share on other sites
samurai 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Who is your exxum guide? I trained with Newcomb Jr. back in the day. If you're studying under Newcomb, ask him how much Mt. Vinson set Marmot back. Link to post Share on other sites

samurai 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I recognize the name, but probably just from the website. I don't think I've met him. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Nice lineup... need to boost both my holiday allowance and skiing skills quite a bit before any of those becoem even a remote possibility. Where are the areas to ski in Chile? I've heard a bit about Argentina but not really Chile. That Russia TR on TGR looked interesting as well, but once again it's just a pipedream for an amateur like myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Argentina and particularly Las LEnas, has the most amazing lift service terrain in possibly the world. THe problem is that they have VERY slow snow control and the down days can go on for ever, especially for the famous Marte lift, which is only open a few days in a season. I was lucky and got there after a record storm and only had to spend 6 days waiting around (drinkng great wine and partying with Brazillian girls, though, so it wasn't like a down day in Valdez). Chile has the biggest SA ski area in the 3 resorts around Valle Nevado. The lifts in VN go to the top so snow control is much much faster. If I was to bum for 3 months I would go to Argentina. If I need to assure skiing on a short 2 week time frame I am going to go to Chile. There is an art to managing holiday allowance in which I am the grandmaster. I am thinking of hosting seminars.

Stuntcok 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The problem is that there is still a shortage of 179s. I think I can get 183s, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 if its soft, I dont mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntcok 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yes, I can get 183s for you immediately. If anyone else wants, I think we could save shipping by ordering a bunch together. Link to post Share on other sites

Stuntcok 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The price is the same, only the shipping differs. Plus, I think I can get us 100USD off. I also can get the 164 174 and the big 195. A group purchase will save us shippin costs as well. Link to post Share on other sites
