If I had my son up there, he would be stoked.
vets, I think you should buy the ticket but insist on skinning up. Wonder which way will be faster.

Boreal just announced they'll be opening this Friday as well, but, gasp, with an actual chair lift! Still probably going to be a small run with way too many people, sounds like skinning up just might be the way to go!
My next bike will be 1x 11. Maybe 1x 12 by then!Quote:

The Mountain Biking will be better, and STFU KiddUncleGrumpyCrudWoo!Quote:

He was referring to LP's photo because their guns make it look like Woodward or the lodge is smoking.
Their webcam is still operational and looks nice and placid. Turn off the fire alarm and get back to mountain biking. :)
It's funny when people think I would actually give a shit about bike talk.Quote:

Or did you mean Cheech and Chong were on the summit?
^^^ Ahh. That makes more sense.
Better than a kick in the teeth, if it happens.

We were not quite so daring. stuck with the grass on the lower slopes. good to be back out on snow though.Quote:

I feel like I scored pretty good at the swap this year: 4 pairs of kiddo skis and a full entry-level skate ski kit for my wife. Followed that with jaliscos and a few hrs at the bike park; all with my stoked 9 yr old. A good truckee day.Quote:

I've got a pair of skis that my wife has used for the past few years. I handed them down to her after i was done bashing them. 175 pocket rockets. 2 mounts in decent shape. 50 bucks sound good? Send me a PM if interestedQuote:

Rode N* on Sunday. Only had to cross one snow bank of manmade snow. Great riding conditions, no crowds. If it wasn't for the fact that its Nov I would be stoked. They really should move the sprinkler lines out of the way so we can enjoy our turns though. All the new wood ramps are fun.
Ski porn this week is the last of it. Warren Miller is playing around the bay and Alpenglow has a show at Olympic valley lodge about yur-o skiing on Thursday. After that, the only porn left will be 16 days out on the GFS:
