Hey Mark,
Your PM box is full. I'll mail a check out on Monday. Let me know if the 20 does not cover the shipping. I don't want you to spend $ to help me out.
Thanks again.

Wendell, Craig, Jack, Dave, it was great riding with you guys at Tahoe!!!
Woods pics to come!
Mt Rose was good, but wow Sierra was unreal.
There was also a climb area there (multi climbs actually) but about 8 times longer than Mt Rose's.
Whew! Good powder at the end though of course!
Well, now that we're back in the daily grind, I can't believe how quickly our trip went by. We always talk about how the learning curve on skiboards is what makes them so fun, but skiing with so many other skiboarders like at Shredfest increases that curve exponentially. Thanks to all for your tips for us aspiring-to-be-expert riders.
Jack and Wendell, your guided tours struck the perfect balance of fun and challenging. Thanks, Jack, for letting me test out those sweet 120's! Speaking of 120's, Dave-Obi-Wan-Stevens, your advice will be with me always: "Let 'em breathe!" "think French toilet!" 'nuff said Goal for next year: spin and skate backwards gracefully on 120s like Dave and Bill.
Rob, loved trying the gorilla carves--so cool. You bet I'll get my glove in the snow by the next time we go, though it won't be as pretty as Kirk's epic lean in my favorite photo I guess that's goal #2 (always gotta have something to work on!)
And for the pros, well, you are amazing (and a bit terrifying) to watch when you do your thing. You might have inspired a goal 20 years ago, but now I just watch in awe and hold my breath until you land.
I'm enjoying all these pics and vids from the first days and the rest of your week there. Thanks, Jack, Wendell, and anybody else behind the scenes who organized Shredfest II!

Hi Bill! hey, how was your time at Shredfest with the Mrs? I saw you both in some pictures! What resorts were you able to ride at?
leg is doing alright, bone is healed!.... just not all the muscle, ligs, nerve, tissue etc damage; I think it will take another year(been 1 yr a week ago!) for it to feel and act 'normal' again.
But all is good! Thanks!
Glad to hear things are getting right with the leg, Shelley. Maybe next year y'all can make it to the shredfest. We were able to make the first three days, Alpine Meadows, Northstar and Squaw Valley. It was big time for sure, the gang we had there are off-the-chart nice folks.

Thanks Michael . .nice pics! looks like you and Wendell and Craig had a great pow day at Sierra at tahoe while some of us were off in the backcountry...
for those who do not know Michael .. he has a unique style .. he rides a Snowjam 123 short ski without poles but with a tree branch in hand . held cross wise while riding ... a technique he developed bashing through east coast narrow trees to keep the branches from hitting him ... while walking up the lift line the tree branch is used as sort of staff or pole ... really cool style for sure .. any pics of you ,Michael , riding with your tree branch?? I am sorry we did not get any pics of you ...

Cindy, were you ridin' some Alps too? what's your favorite so far????
Hey, Pink!
Well, this season I can't pick a favorite among the Revolts, Alps, and 120s; they're all fun to ride for different reasons in different conditions. Guess I'll have to have one of each...darn BTW, if anybody's interested in buying some Mary Janes that were purchased new and only ridden one season by me (which means cruisin' on groomers), PM me! I'll post some pics soon. I think my height has led me to the slightly longer, wider boards...

I had a strong feeling you'd quickly move to a longer wider board, good for you!
I have yet to try the Alps they seem like a nice in between the Revolt and Spruce. Like you said, the Spruce is smooth... ohhhh, a new slogan, "Smooth as a Spruce" or something like that!!!!! Whatcha think Mr. Springer? Wish I could have met ya Jeff, next time!
So proud of everyone who went to Shredfest II!!! And Jack, you went above and beyond as planner and guide! Thank you! I am eager to ride Heavenly again with Heather & Shaun who know that place well too! How cool that the girls got together more and more came! best of all was GREAT weather for you all! Props to G and the R8 gang for making the trip too, eager to see your footage! You guys rock and are very talented!
Dave for coming all the way from Europe again!!! cool! Bill & Carolyn! Slow & Maria!!! Robert... everyone who came from out of state is who I'm trying to get at here along with the CA 'locals'... THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SHREDFEST II & MAKING IT REAL!!!!!!!

Michael,
You are the man on that 123's. Check this forum next season if you are planning a trip out here. Time it right and you'll have some more company to ride with. Love the tree branch.
