It would be a great weekend to head up and dork around, but I am only 4.5mo post op on the ACL and my PT keeps reminding me the graft isn't considered full-strength until 6mo. He hasn't cut me loose yet. I haven't had to deal with it all season because of the weather, but I actually have to apply some restraint this time.Quote:

Umm,
I just called the Alpine Inn and all rooms are half off this weekend!
got a room, actually two connected rooms, for 87 bucks!
There's two extra beds if anyone needs one. I'd be glad to trade lift ticket vouchers, or cash for space.
I guess I am only dirtbaggin' it on Friday night, as I arrive too late to warrant a hotel room's price. Plus a shower and change of clothing will be good after Saturday.
PM me if you wanna go in on the room.
:biggrin:

thanks for brewing the idea SQ99. best morning i've had in a long while.
excited for crystal saturday and sunday. see ya all there!

Maybe you should start hiking, the exercise might do you some good. Also last time I checked you really don't have to ski in order to take pictures of Powder Pass (a/k/a "the easy way to Lucky Shot"), you just have to be able to ride the lifts.Quote:

With the weather report we're getting I'll be there sunday too!!!
But I don't need to have the extra super special maggot discounted tickets both days. This weekend in itself is a blessing with the season we've been havin'
Bump on the offer if anyone needs to stay up on the mountain and not drive.
Here's your latest noaa for 6200 feet ne of rainier. Enjoy.
