TR: Seattle To Santa Fe and Back; 20 Consecutive Days of Skiing

po: there's more pics, but who wants to see my kids skiing?
frozen: my bad, d00d, didn't have enough time to touch base...you're not in Ogden anymore!
Thanks Gary, it was a blast. Work re-entry is a scorcher....ugh. See you LBD?
Thanks CW; keep us updated on the shoulder, something I need to look into.
P11s: yeah, man! You going to be down this way anytime? There's some W/BC potential in the next month, so I'll ping you.
Thanks TC. The basics are the best.
MBSC, yeah, I'll be up that way one of these years when there's guaranteed good snow. I left just as things got good basewise. Thanks!
Thanks BD; I'm just another ski addict trying to get by.
And likewise MS; thanks for the hookup and tour, sweet spot there, I'll be back with my posse in tow.
tm: backatcha! Nice that some folks out there __get__ it.
SM, and MB/B: thanks!

As I sit winnowing through the usual digital frustrations of woik, I go back and savor these moments and the people who reached out and shared . I'm lucky.

Excellent TR! Nice that you hit the storm cycle right and got the goods. Wasn't anywhere NEAR as nice for us when we were there...ahh but for another couple of weeks wait...

It dumped a ton after I left, but the last day Saturday and ripping the shit out of the Cabin gut in bottomless pow, figure 8ing Shockley's tracks is still glowing. If you didn't ski Silverton, you have to go back, it's a different ski experience.

Yeah, we didn't get to Silverton due to some complications in setting up our schedule. At first it was in the program but got sidelined. We drove right by it going from TRide to Durango the last day to catch our plane.... Definitely want to go back but probably a little later in the season to assure more snow.

It's nice to see a bunch of solid TRs on here at the moment. Nice Pics, back to Page 1.

Hell yeahs Buster
hear's to hopin the duration between sharin turns is shorter than 6 years, forgot to ask ya about Odin who was w/ ya last time. That mag wrote some cool shit.
Pretty sure I mentioned the some skate out the road but most walk part during that post run safety debriefing:biggrin:
Stoked to ski ya and break bread and share scotch w/ the iceman and D.
The story of piggybackin your daughter up silverton for the last run of the day stoked the shitout of me.
Where as spending Mondays this season working has sucked and sucked even more knowing you and the most eggsalad meat cats would be gitter er good.

Odin did a stint in Steamboat but is now happily ensconsed back in Portland cheering on the Timbers.

Y'know, to the masses, it may see you're out there with Sun Ra travellling the intergalactic spaceways, but I'm touched: you're the only person the the planet aside from my dad that remembers. Deepest thanks.


Take care on Planet Ray.

While I may share an appreciation for scotch and skiing with old Ernie, our common interests fortunately diverge at the shotgun and his use thereof.

Looks like a great trip. Taos was silly good this weekend.

Bumpers. Finally had a chance to read this TR properly from top to bottom. EPIC little adventure with lots of maggot connecters built in to up the radness factor. The kid stoke and pictures definitely gets me stoked and motivated to get my ten year stepson his first day @ Silverton sooner rather than later. Thanks Buster!
