Hey Mags, welcome back to town. Don't let it getcha down, there's plenty to do.
I'm taking today off but will be dinking around in the waxroom this evening. Holla to swing by for some festivities and wax. Anytime, actually.
220 - you know the drill well, c'mon my friend.
TJoe - Yer jus' around the corner, if ya recall. Anytime's a good time, Holla and bring the special lady and the pupper.
Laid back and no requirements. Drinking, smokin', laughing.
Let's burn some skis this weekend, anyone?
I’ll be at the fireplace. Orange skis with bright yellow hat.

Really good skiing. Pleasantly deep. Hope everyone had a great day.

A few general questions on GTFamSkiTrip'24. Never been before: Likely rent a house/condo in Driggs near Ski Hill Road. How decent is bus service up and down the hill? Any stops to position ourselves near for easy access? How about driving/parking at the hill? We will have a rented car but not everyone starts and stops at the same time.
These are sweet.Quote:

Pretty sure you had disclosed your camera setup to me at some point in the past, and days like yesterday make it clear how much extra work it is to not only lug the extra weight, but also be in the right spot at the right time and not hold people up.

Experimentals in the center have 4 sheets of carbon fiber per board, ash topsheets. Gonna be stiff as fuckall but kinda med-light.

Beginning the trim...

Getting shapely.
We were looking at the old doobie shapes - both fully rockered end to end and barreled side to side on the base. It's a veritable butter churn.
Bus service is pretty regular- at least every half hour. Stops are these: in town behind senior center, 5th street park in Driggs, Teton Creek Resort (parking only for residents/ renters). Also in Victor at the ice rink. I think this info is all on Targhee's website. Take the bus up the hill and alleviate a lot of driving and parking stress.Quote:

Gonna be out there beatering around in a couple weeks. First time in area…couple days @ Ghee and a day JHMR. Driggs lodging.
Couple questions:
How is weekday inbound flow and parking availability @ Ghee? I’m assuming JHMR will be nutty—frankly until now never even thought about parking, etc. over there.
Other than buying online directly, any better avenues for securing lifts? Assume not, but who knows.
Where to pick up some good steaks-Broulims?
Thank you. I like them (and am often overly critical of my own work).Quote:

I appreciate the compliment!Quote:

Broulims has a case of dry aged steaks in front of the meat counter. I’ve never splurged but they look great.Quote:

Always wanted a pair of Iggy's. Old ski buddy had a pair from the first time they were in business. Truly a work of art. I would have a hard time using them at pebble due to our low snow and the rocks just kill skis quickly.
Always seems we get one good storm for one of the holidays. Enjoy the turns and stay smart cause we are going to see some snow movement around here!
Movement is a guarantee.Quote:

The first skis, still skinny, were over 200cm and many were above 210cm. Still a few pair of those in the corner too.
