sonuvabitch i have 3 more weeks of shitty, shitty school before I get out there.
Skool = suffering
Thinking about skiing while at skool = more suffering
Look at the bright side. It will only get better, but try not to think about it.
waited in line to ski the backside yesterday. turns out it was worth it. on one of the more northern facing ribs there was a mini fracture like 10'x10' didnt look too deep and made more of a slough pile.

You damn well now they can. It's like saying that can't close highway 210 because it's a public road!Quote:

Yeah, I know it was probably for a good safety reason,...and it's a PA statement, ... But, It applies across the board.:rolleyes2
Looks like some nice turns were had up there for some...:wink:
Cheers

Whoever posts for you guys on FB sure seems to think it's more than tentative.Quote:

They must have blown a lot of man-made onto RJ.
Brighton tomorrow, Snowbird saturday.
Game on!
Poked around Alta this morning. Skiing was great, got a little sluffing in the new snow, but no biggie.
hit up the plasma center then headed up lcc. alta got another 6"-8" or more since yesterday. due to the very cold temps the new snow was very light - lake effect seemed to kick in several times. clicked a rock or two - no damage - unbelievable conditions with pow top to bottom. wow wow wow - stability is solid.

ya, there's some great skiing goin on, but it takes a lot of snow to build a good deep, cover everything base out there. no rush, yer gonna have a helluva season. very easy to ruin skis and body parts this early in the game.Quote:

The fellow to the left insisted no base and rocky.Quote:

Did learn an extra thing or two which will be helpful.
It's on the short list for a history lesson.
