Answers to all your Crystal condition questions...

It rained and it rained and it rained. Lifts made it less wet. Thanks for the ride!

2/3 up Rex was freezing level where it was actually snowing.

Once in GV, just fake sun breaks, snow, whiteout and repeat in any order. Felt like pow for first few turns then cream for the rest. Buddies said it rained top to bottom with 8k freezing levels yesterday. Good day for beers in the shack between turns while waiting for the weather to break. Saw a glimpse of Powder Bowls western edge and it appeared to be littered with debris.

Tracks...

Only sane way down was cat track on the frontside. Maybe Lucky Shot but that's a maybe. Of piste was slow motion and sticky icky. Took the line under Quicksilver down cause it had the most snow. Couple of grass rides and puddle skims but can ride down to 5 minutes of the parking lot. Sure beats walking.

My car took a shit.

Crystal needs some help or else head north or east or both.

I'm gonna take it out on my liver tonight.

Greydon wanted me to ask if you thought he should take his new skis?

That first rock is the worst feeling but after that its all good.

That first rock's a doozy.

Thanks for the update. I've got some skiing to do up there this season.

Everyone is fucked so far.

Give it a week or two.

Didn't see you at TGR - perhaps your liver was done before you had a chance to get there? Or perhaps you decided that Greenwater was a better venue for it? Or perhaps I just couldn't make you out of the crowd? In any case I definitely took the opportunity to take the shitty cold rainy pre-season suck of Crystal's current conditions out on my liver at Neumo's last night. :eek:

It was a pleasure joining you and your friend for your post-ski tailgating party - thanks again for the Guinness and chips! Perhaps I'll see you guys around again ... preferably with more snow on the ground. :cool:

Kya, I did make it to the show. It was packed and the music was bumping so loud I couldn't see straight. Or maybe that was the booze taking over. My liver was punching me while I was touring Baker the next day.

To whomever was in front of us and emitting the nerve gas...here's a big FU! Put a cork in it. Or a gerbel. Dead, rotting animals smell better.:nonono2:

lol; that sucks about the nerve gas. yuck!!! :tongue:

and that's "kaia" - didn't i spell it for you before? :rolleyes2

you planning to hit up crystal again this week or are you waiting for more insulation from the rocks? from the looks of the webcam they definitely got some more goodness since friday. i am really jonesing for my first turns of the season ...

if you ever want another ski buddy out there, hit me up via PM.

anybody interested in a low-key ski tour up at crystal tomorrow?

send me a PM if you are ...

I'll be up. Proly staying at the Alpine tonight. Depending on what time my buddy gets in, your welcome to crash.

Sorry about mispelling your name. Damn did I just apologize.

Check your pm's.

ok, so how the hell did you get a lift ride up there?
