I caught the third chair, on the Bonnie. Nearly a fight, when a bunch of snowboarders, joined their buddy at very the front of the line.
First few laps on the Bonnie were fun, groomed with 4-5 inches new snow, but high winds at the top, and moderate freezing rain on your goggles. Couldn't see shit, either, but at least the groomer was smooth. Just point the Wailers and go.
Skiing got more crowded with only the Jet and Bonnie running. If it hadn't been so windy, I was thinking of skinning to summit, from the Bonnie, to ski Vermonter. But it would probably have been scoured by the South wind.
A tourist, on the Metro (bunny hill) asked me how to get to Valhalla. I said, well, "you have to get to the summit first. Do you have skins? " . I got a blank stare for that .

If anybody needs me I’ll be down in the meadowlands skiing trash heaps!
fittingly sort of dressed like a garbageman in that pic now that I think about it
Aldo and bottle--> you both need to work one of those photo tombstones into your living wills. Those pictures must live on in posterity!!
Am I the only one here who appreciates the matching bases, pants and goggles?! I mean, c’mon ![emoji106][emoji3]Quote:

4” of smoove creamy sugar this morning. So fun, arc and smear to your hearts content everywhere. Little mixing and goggle maintenance late morning. Had to get to work so didn’t mind that part at all.

Still beats sitting on the couch.
This is badass, but I'm old and those daffys with matching outfits, and huge straight as fuck skis, bring back memories. Surprised I'm not seeing neon zinc on the noses, must've been cloudy?Quote:

^^nice one!
yup, largest (and i believe still growing) segment of physical media sales for years... and yes vinyl has an immensely wider dynamic range than red book audio. CDs top out at 22kHz; vinyl will typically run to 30kQuote:

PS. As for vinyl, many classic albums are being remixed for digital. Mostly low end. Needle groove can’t handle the range
Keeping the daffy alive!
