Yeah... the wind is gonna keep me from making the drive to xtal.... Skibowl's summit is a little above 5000 and its more sheltered than ridge at xtal so I am gonna hit it in AM. Not as much variety but it won't be crowded until the afternoon. So freshie will be plentiful and disease will be medicated.
Still hoping for a pow day at crustal monday or tuesday.
Let it be known that Bob at Crustal lift maintenance spent Wednesday night all night running Rex and Forest Queen so they wouldn't ice up.
Props to him for keeping the lifts going.
very cool.......
A) Is Alpy going to be goooood on Saturday?
B) If so, is anyone going to be there?
I've got a sick (literally) gaper friend in town. She was going to ski on Saturday, but she's too sick to go. She's a good friend though and understands the clause. I can steal a half day or so. I suppose if Stevens is going to be waaaay better, I might be able to sneak away there for the whole day.
Holy Crap - PROPS! Very cool!Quote:

Shmerham- Alpy WILL be sick on Saturday. I would wait for C2 opening- no matter how long- and snag that glorious run down Nash first thing. That alone is one orgasmic run when it's that deep! just ask Buster.
I hope it's good because I'm kind of locked into going there at this point. I'll be up there with a few others. See my description above, your welcome to join us.Quote:

I will also be swilling beers at the Elk tonight with friends. Anyone who would like to talk about elitist snowboarding stuff, find me....then buy me a beer!
See you in line early. I am crossing my fingers for the upper mountain.
Bob is the frickin schizzel of the mac dizzle.Quote:

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing Dr. King talk about a dream he had that you and the Mrs. went skiing with Buster next weekend. He mentioned some other stuff that happened in it, too, but from what I recall it was mostly about skiing.Quote:

But, I dunno shit about how Alpy gets affected by the wind. Do they keep C2 closed if it's too windy?
Never type again. Cut all your fingers off. Please.Quote:

Have fun up there, Squirrel!
errr, more likely, the Chiefs will be the shoe of choice for the deep.....
whereever you folks ski tomorrow have a great day.
I'll be up at ski bowl. Look for the short fat guy in the orange coat with the goatee and gotamas.
Hey... alliteration.
Its looking like Alpy for me. I'll be the guy in a silver helmet beatering down everything.

GV telem shows 11" of snowfall, and it's been cold all night.
However, 50-60mph gusts...
Any way I could get a ride to xtal tomorrow (sun)? My car's fuel line broke. Leaving from Tacoma...I could drive my truck up and meet someone in Enumclaw, I gotta do some work on it today tho.
