  • Shredfest Pics , Vid and Blog

    Hello All from the Tahoe Shredfest , Sorry I have not had any time to post or up to now , just having too much fun! In fact not much time for words now as am heading out to ride again this am ... . I hope others will post their pics and vid and thoughts here ... let me just say this was a most FABULOUS event , we got to ride with G , Ben , and Kirk and with a whole bunch of great new friends and old virtual friends who we have never met . Sunday was a day spent in a blizzard up at Kirkwood in which we divided into small groups .. Sorry that I did not get to ride with you El slurpo and sorry that you had to leave so soon and not join us on Monday ! Valmorel and I were to busy trying to follow G , Ben and Kirk as they went high speed off the steepest lines in Kirkwood , we did manage to keep up until towards the end of the day the guys decided to huck a cliff and we wisely chose a slightly safer and more suitable way down the mountain for our rather ancient and brittle bodies. conditions were great at Heavenly on monday , we had some sunshine , broken clouds, and snow storms all mixed together we were able to all ride together all day and it was just fabulous ...

    Here is a vid clip of Ben showing his stuff in a snowstorm at Heavenly

      A group of us did some very nice tree riding in some choppy pow ...

      Valmorel is amazing riding the choppy pow covered moguls and shooting me with a hand held camera

                  How big of a cliff out of curiousity. I almost sent one with about 8 feet of exposure this weekend, but the landing was a little too flat and hardpacked to hit it. With a little bit of powder it was definitely solid though. I'm mostly curious because that is where I see my riding getting ready to progress.
                  I do it because I can.
                  I can because I want to.
                  I want to because you said I couldn't.

                      That looks awesome. Especially after the Jay Jam, I really wish I had been able to make it out to Shredfest. Next year I'm hoping to do both.

                      Ha, that tree skiboarding is definitely different then what we have on this end of the country.

                      Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming... "WOW! WHAT A RIDE!!"

                        Just got back home from Shredfest. Heavenly had some of the best snow conditions folks had seen! Weather Sun at Kirkwood was wet snow and rain and wind... but we had FUN! Heavenly weather on Monday was better for sure but still had some high winds, but the gondola was open, yeah! They will be LOTS more pix and footage to come... lots.
                        I did ride the Spruce 120's in Kirkwood and I liked them!!!! They are great boards for sure and we'll be picking up another pair for my husband!
                        Today, Tuesday weather was ALL SUNSHINE and Sierra At Tahoe looked perfect for those who were able to ride today!
                        The best part was meeting everyone and just having fun together as a group on Skiboards! Everyone will definitely do it again next season and the next and the next... really cool to have met the R8 Team too, just a great nice fun group!
                        I must say that I think my feet issues which I have not had with the BWP's were from riding a longer nd heavier board! ugh.
                        C U N DA SNOW!

                            Gah, I really wish I could have been there. It looks like you guys had fun, and that's what it's all about. I'll be sure to join you guys next year... you know, assuming I win the lottery between now and then.
