any one thinking of going to milly this weekend

the wind looks questionable right now but if it looks good on fri I'm headed out for a long weekend. holiday on monday, no school

it's warm up there as well so the snow might be crusty by this weekend

Unfortunately I have a birthday party planed for me down your way on saturday night, so I probably woun't be around till noon sunday. Your welcome to stay. Hope you get wind like we just got up here today. Super steady 15 MPH with a great edging base. Really fast runs, I don't think I've ever gone that fast with that much power. Had a good crowd out too, with Todd and Mike B showing, the whole Jones family, Rick, Jim and another guy I never meet. Jeremy was showing off some great skills today in the powered conditions. Jacob was flyin high on a 10 M ozone, crazy. The surface is perfect for big boostin, great fun. Hope to see you guys on Sunday afternoon if it blows.

How did the conditions around the metro look today? Waconia?

Hunter Welles · Post by **Hunter Welles** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:40 pm

Waconia currently has a 0-2 inch base on it. Mostly I would say between about a half inch to 1.5 inches and a few ice spots and some very small drifts up to 2 inches. It was really really fast, you bearly needed any power to get going on it but jumping was hard because of the small edge. It was still tons of fun to get out but its getting to be almost ice skates time(there were 2 or 3 people kite with ice skates today at waconia) and tommarows warm up doesnt look like its gonna help. We could definately use some snow out there on the lakes right now.

Waconia has much better conditions than I expected. In close to the launch it is pretty nasty with all the snowmobile tracks but a few hundred feet out it gets really nice. Great for skis. Soft, with plenty of edge. And very fast. Perfect for lessons. I think the boarders wanted deeper snow.

Someone had asked about the Polo Fields. Not sure what the snow is like there but there are power lines on the North side, so South winds are a bit dangerous.

ride on

Anybody know if there's any snow left up at Milly after todays thaw. I'd go up to find snow, I'm sure it's gonna be pretty hard to hold an edge on a snowboard now,
Jon, If you can get near Delano you could ride up with me.

Hunter Welles · Post by **Hunter Welles** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 9:16 pm

Ill be at the polo feilds tommarow. I was there checking them out at around 3:30 and it was about 3-5 inches of very wet snow. For tommarow though, its going to freeze up and be pretty solid but maybe warm up to be perfecto for later afternoon. Who knows. But NW works pretty well there. If its windy ill be there 12ish.

Thanks Jeff If the conditions are worth it... when would you be leaving

Eric P · Post by **Eric P** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 11:20 am

I'm going out today, so I'll give you guys a report on the snow out there. It didn't get as warm up here as it did for you guys the last couple of day. I'd guess right now that it will be pretty good out there still.

Jeff Gorton · Post by **Jeff Gorton** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 12:16 pm

thanks Eric, looking forward to your report.

Jon, let's wait and see what Eric says and then check wind. Call me tonight if you want or email at jeff.gorton at gmail.

Perfect!!!

I am sorry about your new truck!!!

Eric P · Post by **Eric P** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 11:29 pm

The snow looks great out there still. I didn't ride milly today, went to north long instead. I'm sure the snow conditions will be good. Actually these conditions up here right now are my favorite. You can build up so much speed with a big kite in really marginable winds. Hope you guys have some wind if you come up. Unfortunately, I'll be down in your neck of the woods this weekend, so no riding for me. Hope to see everyone next weekend at the jam, and if anyone needs a place to stay, my door is always open.
