When are they supposed to have that shit done? went fishing over at woods lake a few days ago was wondering if they would be able to finish before the snow fly's seems like progress has been pretty slow, cool pics!

HAHA awesome.
Groomer looked nice but I probably still would have walked to Sisters :)
Got a tire puncture on my way to UNR, so looks like I'm driving. I'll be the quiet beardy guy with the pinkish/red shorts sipping a beer and looking slightly bemused or confused, depending on your frame of reference.Quote:

Ah, that kind of made my knees hurt watching the start. FWIW, the lake was flat calm at 2 today and the paddling did not require any hop turns on rocks... ;)Quote:

I don't remember that guy there. I was in the orange shirt with horsies embroidered on the chest. Sorry I missed you. I was hanging with Corky, Phil, snowhot, and Splitter...Quote:

Vets and I are headed to Carson today...Roundtop I thinks. 930ish.
Yes. Meeting at Carson Pass at 9:30ish.
I'll be the one with the huge smile on my face because I'm bringing brand new all-carbon Lhasa Pows that I picked up from Splat yesterday. (BTW - They have demo bindings on them)
FKNA!

Fun day at the Roundtop with Vets. Accidentally met up with another TGRer in the Carson Pass parking lot. Was it Hamish? Pistehor? GDI I have to pay better attention on non-work days. At any rate he added a lot of fun to the day. Thanks for joining in! Snow was variable. Boiler plate in the shade, but oh so perfect corn in the sun. Unbelievably long patches for October...not that I have ever patch skied in October. Splat supplied Vets with a brand new pair of demo all carbon fiber Lhasa Pows. Super light, but burly. Jonesing for a new set now....
As usual, too lazy to post the full report here, and I know Vets will do it later. For now, check it out at Unofficial Alpine.
The patch looks big in those shots compared to other years.
Thanks for the sexy poser shot!
I can't believe the size of the Sisters glacier....but also can't believe that I now have two kids ;)
was gonna go hike around out there on one of my days off this week but highs in the low 40s dont make for fun patch skiing... not gonna complain about the cooler temps though:cool:
Quick excursion to Round Top on Sunday morning to finish the 10/11 season. Didn't heed the earlier PD report estimating the corn window, so it was a little firm on the descent but manageable. Made a lap on Sisters shoulder then the face patch. Saw the Vet party descending from a distance while we were hiking out.

Great day, but didn't quite match up to the season opener footage from last November.

Fun stuff. I think we saw you gearing up for your second run about the time we got up to Winnemucca Lake. Some hikers mentioned seeing you too and said we wouldn't be getting fresh tracks because you were up there first. It would have been nice to take a run together.
Due to length of the content I posted a separate TR here:
TR - Roundtop, October 23, 2011
It takes a LOT for the blast to break your windshield, especially considering how strong they are. Little rocks, on the other hand...Quote:
