Was a mixture of snain, sleet, freesing drizzle drazzle drone, heavy snow and even some slightly lighter drifting snow on the way further up.
Poor vis. above 9,000. About half an inch to an inch of accumulation up high by 11:00.
thanks guys - any and all help always appreciated
just trying to keep the family skiing for the next few weeks while some lifts are spinning before Sonora Pass opens
also trying to keep the young lad stoked on racing / competing by taking him to some alternative venues - he skied really well at Squaw last weekend and I think he's ready for something fun like this
he'd be stoked to have some more Maggot supporters - Cinders and Turx got the full treatment - Schralph and MLG got to see his 1st ever DQ last weekend
that was me with schralph and the maple leaf
and they call you a dork?
guess it's me
duh
thanks for stopping by - I guess I was a bit distracted
no worries. so will there be hot racer moms at the banked slalom too?
yes!
quite a bit of talent out there that day
speaking of which, my wife wanted to whack me in the kneecap with a ski pole when you guys called her Krystal - it's not her real name, but rather her drunk chick/alter ego/Maggette name that random strangers call her - FKN funny
Just Checked-in on Kirkwood Cam hoping for good things......Nope, just a skier in a Parka!!! OOOF
you sure it wasn't cause she overheard you comment on the talent?Quote:

The winter sucked, no matter how many lame ass photos of snow that 'doesn't look that bad',.............. and now it's the cougar hook up thread.
See you next year.
No shit! This is gayer than a bunch of snowboarders having a circle jerk at the San Francisco Jacks.Quote:

LOL. Life is short. Embrace the rose-colored glasses.
Yep. I am buying a bike today. Ullr, I am looking forward to riding it now that you have taken the snow and returned it to earth. Don't disappoint me.
Hoping a little negative psychology does the trick. But I am buying a bike today. Might as well have something to look forward to before the beach warms up.
April 5th and the mountain bike discussion is already starting...
Wow. don't remember having to scrape my windshield for a while in kings beach
I'm shopping for a new mountain bike this week too. Might hit some range balls after work. First week of April - fuck. :nonono2:
BA sounds optimistic for the storm around the 15th, but I'll remain skeptical until all of the models are in complete agreement.
I'm shopping my Giant Anthem 29 around if you want to check it out. I also just git some clubs. where are you hitting a bucket?Quote:

There was optimism about last night and this upcoming weekend in the forecasts of a week ago. We all see how that is turning out. Grumble Grumble Grumble

What size?Quote:
