    in News & Other Stuff

    Check with Villa Lagos ski lake in Gerber just south of Red Bluff, There is a couple lakes there, a ski and a wakeboard lake. I skied there once. You can find the phone # on the website. Eric Pettinger is the owner of the site. Last time i checked they had memberships but you needed your own boat.

    Dangers of slalom

    I am the youngest one in my ski group at 51 the oldest is 72 and still going strong. And although i get my pains i do agree that knowing when to throw the rope or not trying to grab that one more ball when you know your way late is key to not getting injured. But i will take a fall on my ski any day compared to a fall on my mountain bike. Damn, I don't ever want to grow up :)

    Another Ca Fire

    Yeah this thing is a mess. As of tonight there have been over 8800 structures destroyed and 48 people confirmed dead, and this is only the beginning. There are sooooo many people that are elderly and or physically unable to get out or did not even know it was coming that will most likely be added to this list. I grew up in Paradise and my mother, sister, brother in law and many friends have lost their homes. My 92 year old mom had to walk out until finding a fire truck that took her to a shelter because my sister couldn't get to her because of all the traffic trying to escape the incoming inferno made it impossible. I live in Chico and many of the 52000 evacuated have landed here and the shelters are filled. Hopefully some rain next week will help put the brakes on this 135000 acre disaster. So as Marcus said, this thing is Insane.

    who mountain bikes and skis equally

    Well, I know the Salt Lake city area has excellant access to Gold Level mountain bike trails up in the Park City area and a few ski sites in the valley. And if Broadside Harbor near Boise has access the mountain biking in that area is very good also. I think there is also a couple ski lakes just out of Sun Valley ID. and the there is all kinds of great riding there. I spent time mountain biking in both places this last July while on a family vacation. Durning the summer months I am usually able to split my skiing and riding equally.

    Success Stories for those stuck at 15off

    in Technique & Theory

    Ok, success has been had. A couple weeks ago after my first pass of the evening the guy who coaches me said, ok we are cutting rope and 22 off it was. I completed the pass on the first go and have been mostly getting it since. Tonight was the best success yet making 6 out of 8 passes and getting more patient and smoother on each one. Still don't have any video yet, but I am deffinetly stoked to have broken through with about another month left in our season. Using the better leverage through the 2nd wake that @Than_Bogan suggested and I have been plenty wide.
