Skiers Unite!

[TrickyDik]

The next matchstick films should be pretty good, want to know how I know that it will? Watch this and decide for yourself: http://www.mspfilms.com/theatre/

I know it's the middle of summer but this exact time is when I get pumped for skiing. Mainly because I do a lot of Mountain Biking so during this time of year (less rain then spring) I'm able to get up to the mountains that I frequent during the winter.

Discuss...

EDIT: oh ya, they'll be showing the flick in Portsmouth too at the Frank Jones Center on Route 1 Bypass. http://www.mspfilms.com/node/250

woohoo I love skiing. I've been lookin at gettin a new pair actually so I've been in the mood.

I go to Warren Miller flicks every year but dunno too much about this.

[TrickyDik]

I also go to the Warren Miller flicks. They usually have a new one every season. Probably just haven't announced it yet.

[RobE]

Skiing is for girls.


Snowboarding FTMFW!!!!

[TrickyDik]

I snowboard too. However, I find skiing much more enjoyable and I would wager to say that no boarder on this forum could match me while I'm on my skis. Twin-tip skis FTW!

But it's all gravy in my book.

[GrassyKnoll]

twin tip alpines + twin tip telemarks FTW!!

[TrickyDik]

Word to your motha!

I'm psyched. I'll be planning a couple ski outings for those who dare to go big.

I might be heading out to Whistler this November too! It may but me in debt with credit card companies but as god as my witness I could care less!

twin tip alpines + twin tip telemarks FTW!!



ahhh, telemarking...kill me

[GrassyKnoll]

dude teles are sick. that's how I get my exercise in the winter :)

[doylfish]

lol, i dunno, i usually only see all old people doing it, haha, not saying you're old or anything, just my experiences, personally i like my volkl twin tips and to switch it up i'll hop on some blades and mess around sometimes, but i'll have to take your word and try out telemarking sometime

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

Ski movie! although I do only snowboard. ftw
bumb for MSP. the trailer for seven days of summer looks amazing.
plus there is the Telluride by the sea film festival sept 21 if anyone is interested.

[TrickyDik]

What's Telluride?

[doylfish]

^^^^
a really nice ski resort in colorado

Well I knew what Telluride was actually lol, I guess I need to be clearer.

What is this Telluride thing out here?

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

Its the telluride film festivale. New names to the ski movie industry are premiering their films at a festivale in telluride and one of the tour dates is the music hall in portsmouth.
Last year I missed it and they had extreme kayaking with some insane waterfall drops.
http://www.themusichall.org/calendar/event_listing.asp?CategoryID=10

Well they just came out with the list of the films they are showing now and I may go see one or two. thought they were more ski related.

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

Sooo... I may just bag that idea and stick with MSP and warren miller.
They really need more snowboarders though. I think.
My old boss called them gays on trays, but I quit that job.

*sigh... thinking of the first snowstorm for the season..maybe some winter boating...few more months*

[TrickyDik]

Yea stick with MSP and Miller, that telluride thing looks meh at best.

[doylfish]

not too patiently waiting for the 'loaf to open

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

its on its way. cold nights on the water already. most of the boaters all go in around 5, except for the ones that keep me busy:)
*ahem* you mean you can't drive over rocks, buts there is water over them~rotfl~

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

or I LOOOOOOVE this one. "but it was running sheit hot an hour ago." well now your out of gas.....hmmmmm

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

The movie is getting closer! :) Whos going? I still need to get a ticket.

Anybody buying a mountain pass to anywhere?

[TrickyDik]

I'm running up to Fire on the Mountain next week (monday-wednesday) sometime to grab a ticket for me and Jess. 9pm show for me since I won't be home until close to 7pm from work that day.

Can't wait for this film. I'm so happy that is indoors this time around. It was a mess last year having it under the tent outside Redhook on a rainy day with just plywood that didn't even cover the whole ground. Mud FTMFL!

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

who needs mud? I want snow.

nick give me a call when you go to get a ticket, not sure when I can make it to the store, i'm gona try for today.

[TrickyDik]

I'll try to remember.

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

One week to go.

[Skidder]

Anybody buying a mountain pass to anywhere?

I'm thinking about getting the Breakout pass... its just like the Threedom in the fact that you get three mountains, but its only available to college students. Its only $229 for Cannon, Sunapee, and Gunstock.

Now I just need to figure out how to prove that I'm in college still... because I'm not anymore and there is no way I'm gonna shell out 500 bucks for a damn pass.

[GrassyKnoll]

http://static.backcountry.com/images/items/large/ARM0067/S157.jpg = my new skis :)

[Skidder]

Those are some serious freeride skis... I heard armada got bought out by one of the bigger ski companies and the construction methods are top notch.

Grassy you throw down or (like me) you did before you acquired knee problems.

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

Its tonight~bounce~
I'm ready.

[doylfish]

I'm going to warren miller next week for his movie tour stopping at berklee performing arts center..should be real good

[Bu11dogg2]

I wanna go skiing

[GrassyKnoll]

i want to ski sooo badly right now.

[TrickyDik]

I need some new skis. I'm looking for an All Mountain Twin-Tip. Nothing too aggressive or expensive. Any ideas?

[TrickyDik]

Just a reminder: Warren Millers new ski movie is playing the two nights before Thanksgiving. Putnams in Portsmouth is selling tickets, it will be shown at Frank Jones Center on Route 1 Bypass.

I won't be going because I'll be in Atlanta visiting my family for that week.

Just saw them selling tickets when I picked up my new Skis and Bindings over at Putnams.

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

Would love to go but I just bought a new HH jacket and pants, plus i'm pinching my money now so I can end up in Park City in 2 to 3 weeks~ok~

I may only have a job as a snow clearer but I get a free pass out of it.
You gotta pay to ride somehow.

[GrassyKnoll]

that's sick! I'm probably going out west for a week in december and a week and a half in january.

[TrickyDik]

I want to go out west. Dan you'll have to let me come visit for a long weekend and sleep on your couch and hook me up with some tickets while im there. I'll pay for my own flight!
