Post SF IV I'll be out in Portland and have free time on the 3-4 March weekend. I know FightingForAir is out of town then, but is there anyone else who is in the Portland area who like to meet up and ride at one of the Mt Hood resorts?

02-17-2012, 02:19 PMSince we are not going to SF we will be back in the Portland area by then and we will join you for at least one day.
We were thinking of doing Utah ... but now we decided we are going to stick closer to home and try to ride with RGZIP. We are headed to Crystal Mountain in Washington ... probably be up in that area between the 26th and 29th. We will likely head back towards home on the 29th or March 1st. Thus, depending on when you will be back in Oregon, we could ride with you at Mt. Hood on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

03-04-2012, 12:00 PMWent riding with FightingForAir yesterday. Conditions were below average. It was raining in the morning, but the sun did come out for the afternoon.
I rode Rockered Condors and FightingForAir was on Sherpas. The conditions were slushy and soft in places. Both of us commented on the tail grabbing we experienced on both boards. I never knew one could faceplant on a pair of RCs, but it happened when the tips just disappeared in to some soft, slushy snow!!
After lunch we switched to 120s and normal Condors respectively. Personally I just noticed how much more tired my quads got on the 120s compared to the Rockered Condors. In the end this called for retirement at least an hour before I would have liked to.
Overall though, I just enjoyed being out with FightingForAir and shooting some short blacks with him.'12 Rockered Condor 110 + Spruce Pro Sport risers (goto)

03-04-2012, 12:21 PMYou looked great on those RCs ... so well balanced (most times
) coming down those steep moguls. I likely would have been on my can several times.
That slushy snow was really grabby in the morning. I've never ridden in conditions that sticky before. Even on the Sherpas, riding was very, very tough those first few runs.
