Not making judgements on his character but anybody who has read his posts knows that he knows everything but most especially everything about edge bevel.

I ski on butter knives, so what the hell do i know about bevels, but yeah i've seen some of that chatter.

With all the sacrifices at Ullrfest last fall, you would think…

Saturday was a blast with a big crew, we skied in Hawaiian shirts, grilled hot dogs in the parking lots, drank beers on the lift, it was a blast. Sunday was still soft, but the wind was blowin' sideways and we were all banged up from NYE so got a few runs in and called it. Monday we lapped some of the easier terrain before heading home, the base had definitely firmed up a bit but we got like 2" of Jay cloud cream-cheese on top which skied surprisingly well.

All in all a great time over the holidays, but really hoping for some dang snow sometime soon. Cheers everyone!

Right on. Not surprised to hear Sat was rocking. I knew as long as it wasn’t raining the skiing would stay fun. Happy 2023.

Sorry, missed my invitation. Where did you host?

I washed my car. Now what? Do I really have to swap out my snow tires to make something happen?
And if you are planning ahead, I decided to give up on this crap for the month of February so expect it to dump. Thank me later.
The snow stake doesn't lie. Just like my foam roller. Ouch!

Aluminum Molds. Plastisol with dye and sparkle. Lots of ventilation

We have piles of them. He just keeps making them. Crafting for boys.

He should mold a bag of dicks. And sell them at A basin.

Sunday River is interesting this morning. Not horrible groomer skiing, but plenty of ice on lifts, roads, etc

Got about an inch by lift opening at the loaf, was nice to have something to pressure against

The “angry inch”! Often a lifesaver

Gotta say surprisingly good day skiing in So Vt. especially with the weather alerts about freezing rain and all.
Snow was soft and carveable, surprisingly not mushy, and the same can be said for the ice. Crowds at a minimum. The only downside was the 100% humidity in the mountain fog. It wasn't raining, but everything facing forward was drenched as if it had been, the backside was completely dry. For a day that said don't bother, glad I did.

So glad to be landing in Reno tonight.

Enjoy that for sure man. I pre booked my trips early tied to huts. If not I would definitely be going out now. Stay safe and beep inbounds

Just looking, no freezing rain on the goggles? That’s what always gets me

Biggest little city in the World… I can recommend The Wild Orchid and Mt. Rose. Enjoy!

Thanks guys. My brother from another mother that went to Okemo Mtn School lives in Reno now, his “home” mtn is Rose but we have a date at palisades with my roommate from CVA, ex blizzard freeride team rider. This trip should be one for the books regardless of snow conditions, which still look promising compared to southern Vt. I’ll make turns for every one of you. And smoke plenty of herb.

Nevada was a Zero tolerance and mandatory sentencing state when I lived in Reno 20 years ago. Made for some great paranoid excursions. Also made for an exciting New Year’s Eve party for the millennium 99-2000… if any bad shit was going to go down, we were sure that Reno would top the list. We survived and the casino lights never even flickered.

Reno now has one of the best dispensaries, well the only place I’ll buy weed from for myself. It’s really great. The dispensary. One in Vegas too. Killer herb, super knowledgeable, and really clean herb if you know what you are looking for.

The highest low. I love to say those two words out loud. I hate that the highest low keeps getting warmer.

magic was saying they haven’t been under freezing in 8 days. january thaw came early or winter never arrived? tough to tell these days.

eta: a couple good storms and everyone will forget but normal is gone.

magic is a full blown joke. There. I said it. Don’t gauge the northeast on that shit hole with an inept mountain owner. Stratton has been spinning lifts since thanksgiving same with bromley, killington, okemo, Stowe, sugarbush, and just about every other mtn in the north east. Magic sucks and I would hate to have given them money for services promised.

id rather my season consisted of a single good lap on Trick than 100 days at Stratton.
