Fingers crossed that the precip remains mostly frozen in the mountains. Anticipating going nuts trying to figure out if it is raining or snowing at Jay Wednesday. Thankfully MTW leaves no doubts with their hourly reports.
Rudeness - if Jay gets rain, I'd be interested. What mountain you thinking?
I'll have to check what's open..
Ski La Reserve and Val Saint Come are my favourites. Be warned that they are SMALL but make up for it with some fun terrain
http://vimeo.com/59632972
pretty sure i posted this last year (=
la reserve isn't open yet.. would take quite a dump to get that run in play but it could happen. i think st-come is open weekends
I seriously don't feel like it's winter until I chug an outlandishly heavy beer and a bite of some non-meat yet strangely meat-like substance on the lift with bucket. Where is he?!??
I hear ya DW. I had the same issue until my little adventure in the cold r*in last Sunday, followed by hanging out at our local bump of a hill (Granite Gorge) this past Saturday. Finally ready for the season... just need snow in my neck of the woods to complete it! Oh, and heavy beers in the fridge as of last night. yum. BRING IT!Quote:

Skiing was surprisingly nice at K-tron today, though all groomers of course. You don't need to print the voucher if you have it on your phone, you can just show the voucher on your screen.Quote:

I've been working rentals there for the last couple years while home on break, it's a funky place for sure, tons of fun. I can tell you not much has changed…ever. They still have the two main lifts going up the "big hill" (the one on the right has a mid station). They put a magic carpet out in front of the main building and an even smaller one tucked into the corner of the main slope, and they do tubing now as well.

This storm trending so far West has me in a really shitty mood. Go east you son of a bitch. EAST! Or trend colder or have some cold air daming or something, fuck.
Yeah this is some so close bull shit.
The only thing to be done now is see how the chips fall...and drink.
Nihiles worked on patrol at Campgaw, never made it to go visit him though. Wish I had.
im planning on trying the place out this winter, is it just me or is that shit steep at the very BOTTOM?Quote:

true that. on my old accord wagon I had a set of great Dunlop snows that I left on for the last 2 years, year round as I just couldn't like the idea of buying a whole set of all seasons with how well my snows rolled in the summer:)

not sure if this will look better or worse after the next 48h, but here are some Sutton Glades on sunday... NOT IN!
Guess the Jay Cloud floated on by this time..

The Mighty 'Gaw was the go-to snow day spot growing up since I grew up about 5 miles from it. So many awesome memories. I think the last time I skied it was in 95 or 96. Anyone up for a nostalgic evening mini at the Gaw this season?Quote:

There is some good news on the right-coast, the 2013 Vintage Ale is in at TJ's.
Last year's was pretty nice and seems to be aging rather well. Got my case of 2013 at lunch today; cellaring it when I get home. If it is good, I probably get another...
The last 2009 is waiting for a vertical....
Here is the 2013:

Weeknight after work sounds good. If the snow is worth driving a bit out of the way (and paying a toll ) on the way home I'm in.Quote:

At least it continues precipitating for a while after that blue line moves East of us.

If only that damn blue line would track 100 miles to the East.
Ehh, don't worry about it. You're gonna get a fatbike so you can play in the snow properly close to home :zap::zap:Quote:
