Ok, so I live in Minnesota, and I've been reading about snow in the mountains since the middle of August. But hey, this is a pretty big deal out here on the prairie! It's just around the corner!
Good Luck,
Jay

I'll bet Garrison's all excited too.:rolleyes:
Fuck Garrison. I wish he'd get pissed off again and move. A few years ago some local newspaper reporter mentioned what neighborhood he lived in, he got all wound up and moved out of the country. Unfortunately, he came back. And now he's threatening to run for office. Great so he and Al Franken will be on the ballot in a up coming election, makes the years with a wrestler for a Gov seem like the good old days.
Good Luck,
Jay
so glad I no longer live there. 4 years of college was enough for me!
Politically it sucks. Whining on all sides. But it is coming in to the best time of the year. Can't imagine being anywhere else in the fall.Quote:

Well, we have a record cold October, followed by record warmth in November...wow...
Looks like we're finally going to get back to having snow making weather again! Got a trip out to Tahoe next week - hope the snow is starting to cover the rocks there. All my skis are new this year - it's painful to make a choice of which new skis you want to risk for the early season.
I'll trade this mornings -12 for whatever you gots, yo.
Nah - I love the cold, but I'll be in the -12 in Montana in January when we're out there! :)
It did get up to about 25 here today...I'll take it!!!
Today's weather report: COLD & DRY... Shit...
Thank God for snowmaking equipment...
First snow of the season yesterday!! 2 inches of ice-laden slush! It rained HARD for about 3 hours prior to turning to snow. I better pull out the fat skis...
Yeah, I hear the "pow" at Hyland is epic! Actually it is nice to see a little white for the Christmas season.Quote:

I think I saw a couple snow flakes this morning. But I think they fell off a plane out of Denver.
This weather couldn't suck more!!!!!! We're loosing our man made snow pack fast, and the folks just to our west are getting dumped on. Now they're saying mid to high 40's into NEXT weekend. Starting to think it's time to move. If I wanted Missouri weather I would live there.Quote:

I was in Green Bay over for Christmas and we got over 2 days of rain. I think the news said around 2 inches. If it was colder that would have been snow and I wouldn't have had to cancel my ski trip.
I can't take this crap... And I really love the 2 days of rain we get every time before it starts snowing. Makes for GREAT road conditions! We got a couple inches of new stuff here in Saint Paul, but it'l be gone by tomorrow. I haven't been to a MN ski area yet this year...:(
Where? I don't think there are too many "safe" places left... :rolleyes:Quote:

We still have 5+" in our yard even with the warmer temps that last few days. Welch was very disappointing. Terrible conditions, lots of bare spots, but no where near as bad as the EC as seen on some recent TR's.

We're heading out to Big Sky on the 20th - wish us luck! I hear it's getting better out there each day, although Bridger had one of the latest opening days they've had in quite some time. Bummer - I really liked it there. We'll see. With that said, yeah, southern MT wouldn't be bad at all, although they get their share of bad winters too. This year for instance... :rolleyes2
I was going to go to Buck the other night, but just couldn't get excited about it. I wonder how Spirit is doing? I *NEED* to get out at least one more time before Montana though...
We got another invite out to Tahoe again - we have a free place to stay in Truckee. Hopefully... :D If not, we'll just chalk this one up to a bad year. Dammit. :mad:
Want company? :biggrin:Quote:

It's just puking in Red Lodge and they don't normally get the goods until later. As for locally, Duluth is BROWN, they have had better temps for Spirit has a ton of man made, but it's pretty bleak. This next storm is looking like it's going to stay south, we might get a little in the cities, but that's about it. You're always welcome to pay us a visit at Hyland. This weeks bad, but roll out on a Friday and ski with the Friday night patrol. That's the group I'm going to MT with, 13 of us in all(alert the Red Lodge police, 'cause they don't have housing for all of us). Great group of guys, one of them is the former National Avi advisor for the NSP, extremely interesting guy to ski with. He will be in Big Sky on or around they same time you'll be there, then he's driving over to meet upwith us in Red Lodge.
Good Luck and if you're going to be at Hyland PM me.

Did anyone enjoy the BIG POW night last night? Buck was a BLAST!
