- Thread starter mountain mafia
- Start date
thanks for posting up those pics... looks like alot of fun
Pretty knarly sidehill..
ya, that side hill looks like that was alittle iffy, I can honestly say I would never try that.
Guys, that's what its like watching him ride everywhere he goes. He starts out on a line that I has no ending. He and Jared both ripped that edge. Jared went up first and ended up in at the far right as well. Both of them can rip! Chris came down and went staight back up (twice) where he came down at the right! Unbelieveable!!
Don't watch your weight with Chris
For those who plan on riding with Chris, all I can say is have that extra piece of sausage when you are sitting at the breakfast table. Because about 11 AM, when you are sitting and looking into that 10 ft tree-well with your sled at the bottom, it's snowing like crazy, it's your 6th stick of the morning, 11,000 ft of elevation, 20+ inches blower all around, that last Monster is wearing off, your empty stomach starts crying out - "SAUSAGE!!!!, SAUSAGES!!!"
No worries though, Chris shows up from sidehilling that big tree over there and calmly walks up, jumps on your sled and rides it out. Stupid skills - Plus Hot Pockets.
I just rode with him one day and I could barely move my arms enough to raise a barley pop to my lips.
Good stuff, I highly recommend it. Chris knows how to find all the best groomed trails.

hey blk88gt we took our own sleds but you can rent sleds from Chris also. his sleds are sweet. thanks for posting our pics Kerbs.
so how much does a weekend cost? where do you book it? how available are the times to go? do you bring your own sled if you want? where do you ride/stay? got a phone number or website or . . . .? O, and how many people can go on the trip?

I've the same problem from home, seems to be DNS-related. I have TeliaSonera as Internet provider, so try somewhere else, if it doesn't work from home.Is he still in business?
Me and four other 40-year-old-teenager are planning a trip whit him next season, but I cant log on to his homepage
We´re from Sweden, so its required a bit of planning ahead...
If I was going to surround myself with awe struck newbies who parked their sleds in trees, I'd charge $7000 day too
So, a small update 1½ year later
There is not always easy to go get a group of 4-5 together and plan a trip.
The whole thing just ran out in a big nothing, leaven me standing alone to wanna do this. So I just recon-I might just as well do it myself!
Said and done, in july I mailed Chris and started the planning.
After several emails, a couple of phonecalls and a couple of planereservations everything is done-now I just have to wait for feb.1..
The trip looks like this:
Jan 28, Landing in Aspen. If Im gonna go to Co for some sledding and it happends to be in the same period as X Games-then Im forced to see them, even if loging in Aspen is way out of my original budget.
After X Games -mon. jan 31- I get to ride with Chis from Aspen over to Kremmling(!) and from feb 1st to 6 its five days of riding. Am I gonna make five days with no air (for a flatlander-I live @ sealevel....) and getting stuck? We´ll see...
What do you guys think, would you stay for five days or do you think its too long? I know what I think-if Im travelling round the world to ride Im not just gonna stay for a couple of days...
Just four months to go!

Oh, but in a way you are with me-everything is payed with norwegian money
I work in the North Sea for Norisol, and since they lost their contract I dont really know wats gonna happend after 1/4 -11. If Im supposed to do this trip I figured I just have to go now when I "can afford" it....
I really dont think its gonna be a problem to get a new job, but better safe than sorry. (I already got a new job if I want it-but I want to continue to work offshore since I got used to have 4 weeks free after every period of work-and the offers I got so far is onshore. Better paycheck, but everyting besides that is worse)
