Gotten a a few directed laps on the face and Spine, mousetrap, spike, and deep throat the last few days. Been quite nice and I've avoided rocks pretty well amazingly.Quote:

Damn, I know. Been trying to plan a ski trip somewhere in Feb and it is looking pretty bleak. Might just go to MX instead.Quote:

Probably cancelling a trip to Jackson today that we had planned for next week. What's the point? They are only 46% open and have half their normal average snow. Was thinking the Aspen area instead but that's not much better. Not even snowing in LCC but we could end up there.Quote:

Yep. Pretty amazing to look at my pics from last year this time and see the difference.Quote:

Yeah. And to be honest, the skiing today was actually pretty good. Those same things that make the CO snowpack so sketch also make it decent in low tide. Carveable chalk isn't that bad.
Whistler might be my favorite place in the world to ski, but it's either amazing or shitty, with nothing in between. CO might deserve some of the shit flung its way, but at least it rarely sucks.
Correction: Resorts with lots of high elevation, north and east facing terrain rarely suck, i.e., CB, A-Basin, Loveland, Highlands, Breck.Quote:

I’m at the point where I don’t give a shit about conditions like I used to. Being out in the mountains is the best and we’re all lucky to have it. Especially on a day like today…bluebird, warm, views forever and smiles. I didn’t get snow shooting up into my face…oh well.
THIS…..recovering from my ACL last year, this years sort of been a blessing. I don’t need to be pushing it so I’ve skied a ton of groomers.Quote:

Seriously. Skiing with my 7 year old this morning was right up there with the best powder days.Quote:

Michigan tied with Alabama. That's the whole shooting match riding on that fucking game.Quote:
