Holy carp, 15" new of mank today, and it was snowing easily 1+" an hour... hop and myself and 90% of the rest of the mountain only lasted about 5 runs. Today consisted of hop whining about his Made'n Stinx being too skinny and me whining about my BigStix 10.6's being too skinny... one of those days. Thursday will be garbage unless it magically cools down. Have fun, I'm sleeping in! ;)
Yup, I'm in.
Squirrel, there still room? Or is it going to be a convoy again?
FRS channel?
I'll be on the Baker channel 5.4Quote:

BakerBoy is slackerboy. But we'll make the best of what lands up there.
If it's mank, at least it's packing down the base.
I may go tomorrow, depending on whether or not my gear dries out.
"Sluggish, like a wet sponge"
this just in:
"TONIGHT...SHOWERS...DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT. SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 5 TO 7 INCHES...MAINLY THIS EVENING. SNOW LEVEL AROUND 3500 FEET. WEST WIND IN THE PASSES 10 TO 20 MPH.
.THURSDAY...OCCASIONAL RAIN AND SNOW. SNOW ACCUMULATION UP TO 4
INCHES. SNOW LEVEL 2500 FEET NORTH AND 4000 FEET SOUTH...RISING 1000 FEET INTO THE AFTERNOON."
Looks like you da dogs!!
Fuck it, I'm in.
Bring the garbage bags and extra goggle cloths.
That's because he is a pussy!Quote:

6500 ft N, 7000 ft C, 8500 ft S Thur night
The base of Baker is at 3500 feet, so it'll be soup to the nth degree, since they are calling for between an inch and an inch and a half of rain.
PS, anybody who thinks they are skiing anywhere except Baker this weekend is more optimistic than Larry Schick.
Freezing level = 55-7500 ft N, 65-8500 ft S Fri and Fri night

No kidding, it was like a ghost town after lunchtime. It was ridiculous heavy snow and it was super deep. Drops were bottomless but tips down anywhere and you were dead meat. Pretty entertaining watching the skiers ski so backseat, like standing up riding snaky escalators. Finished off with a couple of pretty sweet laps in slightly lighter knee deep down Austin. Spent most of the day wishing my skis had 8" high tips and twice the width. It was still dumping when I left at 2pm, hope it stays that way. Have fun!Quote:

Those needing a ride, give me a call tonight after 5:30p. I'm gonna be off internet.
Boooooo!!! Off the stage, fucker!Quote:

Sq99, your ear must ache due to phone overload. Can't get through. I'll be @ exit 183 as described @5:45.
Fack!
I just got home from work!
I'm in for Baker tomorrow unless its flat out raining. I'll be a bat outta West Seattle at 5:30 and I'll have my Motorola radio set to the Maggot Celluar Network channel. Give me a holla on 5.4 if your interested in riding with a 30-something snowboarder. I'm still trying to recruit some people, but I guess keeping their "jobs" or "not flunking out of school" is more important than fresh snow. Man, some people need to get their priorites straight.
Yer on, focker! But you'll have to come ride Baker to collect... ;)Quote:

Mother Nature kicked-in BIG time yesterday and last night...and the snow is STILL coming down!
In the past 24 hours, we have received 22" here in the base and 28" up in Green Valley, giving us a FOUR FOOT BASE. So that means just one thing, WE'RE OPENING! We'll run Chinook Express, Discovery, Forest Queen, REX, and Green Valley from 9am to 4pm, lift tickets will be $40 Adult, $35 Youth. Yee Haww!
edub: Well I guess you just screwed optics out of a pitcher of beer.... good work!
