Yep...That is the OG Patch that Dookey posted.
Mount up that wakeboard with snowboard bindings and post another TR :DQuote:

all i know is that in June there was a "park" set up where PD took his girls last weekend, but that the "park" had been moved around the bend when i returned a month later in July.

The one with the rails setup is the original Patch. It holds snow the longest and hence the Patch. It holds snow because its in a protected northern facing ravine, so the snow can really build up in there. The latest I've skied it, was probably Sept 99' if you don't count the ridiculous year of 1995 where the Forestdale road was still blocked by snow at the end of August. :)
I finally got back from my conference last night and I started sorting through the photos and edited the time-lapse video.
Thanks for your patience.
Here is the first of nine posted replies. There will be one for each patch skied.
First a little review:

First, since this is the second page, some more soundtrack:
The RZA line on the Wu Tang Patch was much longer and held some of the smoothest snow.

You certainly have the most enthusiasm for patch skiing than anyone i've ever seen!!
Vets is Mr. Enthusiasm, I'm just along as his sidekick.
Guermo and Dookey67, thanks, the enthusiasm can be infectious, contagious, and habit-forming.

Finally, the final chapter has arrived.
This was by far one of the best patch skiing days ever.
There is more to come...
After I finish sorting through pictures from mine and Dookey's cameras I'll post a TR from this Monday at Emigrant Lake.
You guys are hilarious. Monday's TR better be a Paul's Boutique themed TR: "The Best in Men's Clothing" :)
