The conditions were cryptic windbuff with a crust today, in other words, variable conditions, from fantastic to troublesome.
Silly mtskier, what mercuryhg said, if you wanna know, you gotta go.
Skiing at The Bowl this Wednesday is recommended, cryptically. :biggrin:
many thanks for all of the reports. i mean it. i'm at the shop mon-wed open to close, no exceptions.
all i am saying, is if the bowl is good, i will tell you guys about it, because i want you guys to enjoy it too. skiing (and TGR) are not selfish pursuits.
see you guys up there thursday.
sorry MT. It wasn't exactly secret that West Ridge and bowls were/are blown in and awesome at the top. hehe.
Woot, sweet dust on crust, and fog, and stuff today! Great variable conditions at The Bowl. :smile:
Ooh, and it snowed an inch too, woot!
I think what I meant to say was that up high it was good (probably all tracked out now), and as you got lower it was really shitty. So where it was good, it was goooooood.
Brad is excited, wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Obviously Brad is just obfuscating, nothing to see here, move along.
BTW, the Bowl still had a noticeable crust on the lower mountain today, which means that civilized people should, most assuredly, stay home and knit warm winter sweaters, rather than cause their edges to meet a hard surface for even the briefest moment, after all, that would be somewhat unpleasant! :eek:
Oh, and for the non-pansies, the mountain will be ripe in the morning. Git it, git it, git it on.......:wink:
edit: I hope that wasn't too cryptic for mtskier, perhaps I should rephrase: go skiing dumbass! :biggrin:
7" + wind = baller.
Damn good day.
Damn good day.
Woot! Mt. Dumpy delivers yet again.
I will have class all morning.
BTW, Raputin, I think I looked up right at you the other day, like a week ago. You were on the lift, I was shredding pow. Well I stopped to catch my breath. [/creepy]
There are 4 or 5 inches on the Stuart Peak Snotel, already, and the water content looks normal to low.
Who wants to play?
Today at the bowl did not suck.
I agree.
99" of snow at Stuart Peak Snotel, maybe the Bowl isn't lying with their 101" base claim.
Fantastic day. My legs feel like lead right now. Not quite as good as last saturday, but still great. Rosebud delivered the goods.
I think it's just total depth. Then I guess you could just debate about where "settled base" starts or what you count as base or whatever.Quote:

can I put my hand on the inside of your thigh?
10 below zero at the base this morning scared off most of the people or at least made them move slower. A few us sampled the calm subzero goodness behind the bowl today. Sorry Burgandy is all shredded.:the_finge

Oh relax - I'm sure he knows what it's like to ski powder whenever it's aroundQuote:

Enjoy the weekend maggots, I'm out for spokane to check out some Memphis Tigers!
Hmmm. Should be a good'n' today.
you relax. I've met tone a few times IRL.Quote:

MT, shoot me a pm if you're gonna be up there with a camera :biggrin:

Go ahead and keep listening to your gut, especially when it tells you to stay home. :biggrin:
exactly. The number of sleeper days at snowbowl was off the charts through the end of january, when i left. Was a little tough to leave this year, but alta doesn't exactly suck ballz either.Quote:

ha, nice.
This humidity is just killing me, but I'm trying to get stoked.
The humidity in yer vag? Sorry couldn't resist.
Just remember that creamy snow is hero snow and endorphins and adrenaline are great painkillers homie.
My vag hurts.
Creamy is not the same thing as manky.
Today was ok. I actually saw the sun and skied at Snowbowl at the same time.
I picked up some Sidestashes to demo in a 181 and almost blew my knee. Fucking markers.
PSA: Great ski. Scary fast. Need to be mounted rearward of the recommended line or you won't even be able to slide through bumps. I'll type up a review later.
There hasn't been any manky snow here for a while.
Junior, you should be glad you haven't been seeing much of the sun this winter, the dreaded orb in the sky is the worst enemy of snow quality, especially with the Bowl's southern exposure. We have yet to encounter the frozen hell of glaze ice and chicken heads that The Bowl becomes the morning after too much sunlight hits it.
Today was a sweet day of high speed bombing, on an edge-friendly bombproof base, which was perfectly primed for the onset of the storm that's dumping whiteness on our fair land.
Tomorrow is highly recommended for those who aren't trapped by their lesser occupations. I hope to see very few of you tomorrow. :wink:
Don't get me wrong, I love storm skiing. I like it better than Bluebird. I guess Bluebird is better for side country. Is Point 6 in bounds now? There was a conga line going up there.
I will be trapped my lesser occupations all morning. Oh well. 3hrs of powder is better than 0hrs. Yes, I ACTUALLY have to go to class. i think. I might get out early. And my knee hurts.
Oh yeah, I forgot to say: Woot! Woot!
4" as of an hour ago, straight nukin' in town. NOAA says 10-15" during the day at 5400'. :eek:
Have fun up there people, I will think of you while I sit in class. :(
FML.
Hmmm....I suppose I should throw the Spats in the car. Woot.
And I'm stuck being responsible at work. 10-16 inches today at 7200 feet :cussing:
Don't worry, tomorrow will be the epic day.
For standing in line. :fm:
A preview for tomorrow morning.

+10 points for anyone other than Root or Rasputin to name the dude in the sweet tie-died coat (asterisk denoted).
*****, and mrs. rootskier is in that picture, too. Oh wait, so am I....and we are both in front of you, like I would be tomorrow under normal and better circumstances. :fm:
see you boys in the morning lineup tomorrow.
did lavelle run at all? by noon it still wasn't spilling.
