Wow. Long wait in traffic up. Long wait in traffic back. But the two hours of ripping was unreal. Good too see SVS up there! Just total launch without concern for anything, pop off anything. Great. Oh and forgot socks, so just slammed the bare feet in and went for it. Thank god for intuition. Was nuking from close til I got off pass. Expect Tuesday to be unreal as well. Good shit!
I'll just second this.Quote:

Especially since it gave you surprising (good?) results.
Superline Sunday indeed. I got there early AF which led to some really good runs - but not a lot of them!

One of my top 10 alpy days all time.
Two upper mtn
5 Nash/ Adrenalin/ Snelsen
And one lower mtn.
At one point on Nash every turn was a face shot. Logged a lot of those today more than I ever had in a single day here
Worth the wait

Had to think for a second why they were burning those and then remembered the 20 explosions from earlier and the two hour wait. Today was tits but that was the most waiting around and waiting in line I've done in sometime. Felsen was $$ tho.
May be up tomorrow...could be very very good
indeed. gonna try for a night capQuote:

Confirmed. Although, lines marginally quieted down between 11 and 12 for everyone's "conference calls" then back to shitshow. My tracker shows 7500 ft between the hours of 8:30 and 2:00 p.m. 3 runs. The rest was spent lined up...Quote:

Probably the manager, Karen.Quote:

Almost 3 weeks before this year. The snow really kicks up about now and then we only get 3 more weeks of night skiing. They could easily run one of the hills a few nights up until April. Ending in mid March just seems so early in the season.Quote:

Only thing missing is your " Ikon't ski " pass mounted on your goggle strap
I’ve noticed lately that it’s painful to watch some of these people ski
You buy it I’ll wear itQuote:

Light and mood was top notch as the padded seats stopped their daily revolution
Man I love skiing.

Haven’t offered you the heal em up vibes yet so here’s my belated gesture. Get well S.
If you and your ladies are still compelled to head this way I’d be happy to spin some st B Laps as a cut rate stand in for ya and help the AlpenClan next Gen get their turns in

Night session with sloppy seconds was a lot of fun until Armstrong went on the fritz again. Vibes to those who got stuck on the chair in the cold. Soft bumps and chop all over the lower hill. Man, you guys pillaged everything hard today like a bunch of vikings. Glad to see the chunder at the top of the runs off the traverse was finally covered. Nice to ski Eisfallen without having to pick your way through the debris field.
What's going on with Armstrong? This is at least the second time in a couple weeks it's broken down. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2d1040c539.jpg
I'm almost pm'd you to say to bring your chop skis when you said you were headed up for turn 2 . Pillaged was certainly the right verb to use.Quote:

Yeah, my Billy Goats or QLabs would have been a better choice than my MFree 108s. Still, in the wise words of Slackey, skiing is fun.Quote:

Crazy morning up there. 3 hours, 2 runs. Was still worth it though. Pretty perfect day for the OG Protests.

I would have just toured? Because the two runs were probably not 4000foot tram laps?
- within 1 hour of 4 million people
- the only hill in the region not requiring reservations
- huge dump of new snow
- heavy morning avy control work
- pow-starved covidians all "working from home"
