Deep and wet out there today.
Edit: I've scrounged you up a voucher.
Great to finally meet you today powdrhound! Sorry I couldn't roll with you. Hopefully we can make some turns when my ribs heal up.
Mike, what's with the name change? Finally decide to get real and lock the heel?
Next time, Mike.
As you said, the groomers were quite fun. Followed the sun. I did find some clean turns to the sides, but the trenches would make it interesting. The lower section turned to leg breaking muck near instantly. It needs a few days of Sun.
Everyone was so friendly.
It still bothers me that they took away the chair's names. Back in the 60's, it was motivational to get good enough to ride the Silver chair, than the Big jump to the big Gold chair. Now, it is just a number. Different numbers too, but a Soulless Number.
At least give them back their names......... End rant>
Dodge Ridge memories. Thanks, Sally. It is Still a fun ridge. I will be back to play in the Boulders.
I use tele gear cuz it works. I don't tele turn much these days but flexi gear works better for farting around the mountain. And I just wanted to go with my real time handle. Nobody gives a shit if you teleQuote:

There is a chance 3 or 4 of us might make it down for BV's closing weekend.
Anyone else gonna be around?
Does anyone have any cheapo/freebie ticket hook-ups, or advice? Cheers!
I think we will be there and I can maybe help you out.
Weather forecast isn't looking so good...
Ya, I'm watching the weather before we head up. May opt out if it's gonna rain.
All changed now 'cos Grizzly is closed. Prolly just head to Kirkwood on Sunday.Quote:
