Edit: SnowTigress, I just saw your post. What did you do?
Chili,
Good morning today for sure... After you left Tim, myself and Erik took a little hike off of Lakeview and got some ridiculously deep snow. :FIREdevil :FIREdevil
just got back from KW. damn that was fun and a good crew up there with myself, lph, AKA, slim, skier666, rune, hop, and clack. Yes he still skis!
crew splintered up a bit...but I saw 666, hop, and clack hit some nice airs today. I think Hop gets the go big award, the freestyle, and the rally awards for the day for his launch off of Big Danger (40? 45? 50?) from the point, his front flip off of Dogleg, and rallying up to KW after a 12 hour layover at home after arriving from Guam respectively.
Clack gets the killing-it -like- it -ain't -no -thang -award since it was his first day of the season, and on I think his 4th run, sorta Blindly launched a 35 footer to stick. "Oh yeah this goes...well, I guess I'll just roll into it then" heh. Good seein ya again mang!
No worries, just get the work done so you can make it out to the hikes when they open them. Thank for taking the picture too...Quote:

shit went down at squaw today. kt was full facial. headwall went aftert a couple laps. sooooo deep in c2. gunnar sent the gate from something like ten feet before the lip, looked like 70-80ish, and landed on his head. lucky guy got dug out within a few min and was fine. it was giant, and a little scary.
granite went around 12:30 or so and was double over head style. meat was hucked, and smiles were on the faces of everyone you saw.
skied around a bit with t-boz the last few days filming with the afw guys. that man is not afraid. he sent adreneline twice yesterday. fucking twice. not. a. fraid. good to meet you t-boz, sorry you had to go before we got to granite.
silveradbro should go tomarrow.
oh and crashn'burnd and his brother were there the past two days, getting the best skiing this year in tahoe. way to time that trip boys!
storm cycles are sweet when they actually happen to you.

Stoked you heads are finally getting some! Nothing like a 100 incher storm to get the party going! Rock on!
Good, thanks!Quote:

It makes me happy just sitting back and seeing this poundage. Not as happy as if I was headed there yesterday, but pretty happy just the same.
Fuckin' get some. Fuckin' right.
One of the benefits of being a mag is at least knowing that fellow mags are enjoying the post storm fest. It's a fucking sad existence, I know, but I somehow feel better that you guys are getting into the fresh, oh yeah I worked all day today.:cussing:Quote:

I was hoping Friday would be a KW day for me, but now it looks like a daytrip on Sunday. Wasn't it Mick that said "you don't always get what you want..."?
We thank you for your support.Quote:

Kirkwood was boring today....
AKA and I agreed on this issue. :fm:

Nice pics Rune. I think I got some keepers as well. :D
My girl is a Stanford graduate student though, i won't easily convince her to commute 3 hours each direction. Maybe if I got her drunk enough...Quote:

Had some seriously deep turns in the trees far skiers right of Olympic Lady chair, off headwall, and on the run back to Squaw Creek. Unfortunately had to call it quits by 12:30 so I could review the latest TPS reports with my colleagues in the afternoon.
Will be back at it tomorrow for sloppy seconds in the afternoon. Look for the baby blue Bros and ask for change.
what he said: top 10, if not 5, all time days @ alpine. there was only a few inches in the driveway overnight when i left this morning, and after yesterday, i wasn't expecting as good a day, just was hoping to get sherwood since it had been closed. you know the old saying "ou never know until you go" - well, um, yeah, when we boarded summit at 9am everything was filled in from the day before, and it was cold, real cold.Quote:

Haven't made it there yet this season. My daughter loves the place, but the boys aren't huge Mexican food fans. Good stuff, though.Quote:

Repeat for next storm.
(classify this post under "regret plus plans to ski soon when all the pow is gone")
Oh. My. God. I can barely move today, and it was so worth it. Yesterday was epic, hands down. Bell to Bell with a 10 minute break to eat something before we passed out from exhaustion. I've never hiked High T that many times, and the final run was the cherry on top of a Kirkwood powder sundae (or wednesday...)
Lather, rinse, repeat.Quote:
