Saturday could be the shizzle. 10 feet in 10 days.

Bring it all!!!! I had the dubious honor of sitting in the office all weekend long last weekend, only to have my deadline extended one week on Monday....I missed out on some serious pow...FUCK!!!

I'm so ready to get out there on some fresh! Although the truck will be shining after I wash it today in sunny SF...

im going up for saturday...fuck finals. There is always the drive up and back to study. I missed out on most of this storm cycle already, i refuse to miss it completly. Now, the only question is Squaw or Alpine, or maybe kt-22 to alpine...who knows?

YAY!!!


im gonna be not skiing again!!!!


THIS FUCKING RULES

Looks good to me. Rose on saturday, BC on sunday. Go Sox.

Intellicast radar shows an incredibly fast moving storm coming out of the Northwest, about to hit North Lake.

Looks to me to be the same storm dumping on the Cascades right now.

boooyaaaaaa! Fri and Sat should be sweet. I will be in line @ Summit 6 both mornings bright and early. Holla if ya see me and we'll all make some turns.
