主にフリーラン、バックカントリー＆パウダー向けのスキーやスノーボード、そしてテレマークのチューンナップをここ東京から雪山への玄関、関越道練馬ICそばで営むのが当店bottomline。チューンナップについての真面目な話などは正直不得意なので、そういう話題は他にたくさんある立派なチューンナップ専門店にお任せ。ちゃんと「ピシッ」と仕上げてくれる信頼できるお店も多いです。で、ボトムラインでBLOGに載せるネタは必然的にTUNE－UPから反れて、店主の個人的な趣味が多い…今回も…

んんっ！興奮しますね！こういうステッカーを貼った板が持ち込まれると…駄目です、仕事忘れます。いやもちろん真面目にやります。でも、ついついあれこれ考えちゃうのですね。こんなステッカーを貼っている持ち主のKさんです、滑走面に長いキズ＆大きな穴がたくさん見受けられます。それを直す喜び・・・ボトムラインとはそんなヘンテコなチューンナップ屋です。
そういえば、先日こんなメールも届いていたな・・・
【Chugach Powder Guides Fall News Letter November 2007】
Can you feel it?
We sure can. The cold weather is here, there's snow on the ground and the heli season is just around the corner. We can hardly wait! As we head into the new winter, it's hard to believe that we are already moving into our 12th year in the Western Chugach and our 3rd winter season in the Tordrillo Mountains. No matter how much time we spend in these mountain ranges, the spectacle of the immensity and beauty of these mountains still fills us with the same sense of amazement and thrill of exploration that it did more than a decade ago. Whatever your plans are this winter, we hope that your snow is deep and light. Check out the latest news and information from Chugach Powder Guides below.
AStar B-3 helicopters in all CPG locations
We are excited to announce a multi-year deal with Evergreen Helicopters for Eurocopter AStar AS 350 B3 helicopters in all of our locations. For those of you who are unfamiliar with these birds, this is the Ferrari of workhorse helicopters. This is a substantial upgrade from the B2 helicopters used as a standard in most of the industry. What does this mean to you? It means greater power and lift at altitude, resulting better flight efficiency and less waiting in between runs. These birds are the quintessential mountain aircraft and we are ready to put them to work for you.
Girdwood
It's an understatement to say there is a lot going on in Girdwood these days. Our Girdwood season will be eleven weeks this year, beginning on February 2nd. We'll be running three helicopters in Girdwood this year, with one available for private heli-skiing. As always, our proximity to Alyeska Resort and over 1,000 acres of snowcat skiing for no-fly back-up, assure that if you are going to come all the way to Alaska, you are going to ski.
Speaking of Alyeska, You have probably heard by now that Alyeska Resort has changed ownership. Well, we would like to be the first to give a big "thumbs up" to all of the great changes that John Byrne and his crew have already made to the mountain and the Hotel Alyeska. We've been watching all summer as they've been moving tons of material on the mountain to widen areas that were previously trail bottlenecks and extend snow making to the top of the mountain including the North Face. In addition, they've added a ton of family friendly features including magic carpets for the kids and a greatly improved ski school.
The Hotel Alyeska has experienced a full blown makeover including new carpet, luxurious pillow top mattresses, MP3 clock radios and high speed internet access in all rooms. The FULL SERVICE SPA has been buffed out, and the Pond Cafe has seen a complete refurbishing as well as a new menu.
If you think all of these improvements are good, wait until you see the resort development MASTER PLAN (http://www.responsetrack.net/lnk/chugachpowderguides807066/?13XT70DHHEY). We think you'll agree that the future of Alyeska is looking bright.
