Thinking about someone specific right now though too- another soldier fighting that fight right now... Don't want to say his name here in case he doesn't want it said, but I'm pulling for you bud and I know you'll see this eventually. :yourock: Seriously. Get well and hurry back broseph, I'll save you some freshies!
may there be another pre-Halloween treat. close to 18" at Mountain Creek was a tasty way to start last year

Thanks, guys. Now... it's all about looking forward!!!! Bring on an epic season!
We can even say "I gave my right nut to Ullr" and it wouldn't be far off (and 90 lymph nodes, but who's counting).Quote:

and yes, much strength and all the best to your buddy, dowork.
it's been a while but based on the past few years it's finally time to say "skiing this month!"
Sucks! Awfully easy to break those if you hit them at the right (wrong) angle.Quote:

Radam- Best for a quick heal on that clavicle before the snow flies.
Road trip- Congrats dude, great to hear and definitely agree with neufox, treat yourself to a nice trip this season and give your mental side a vacation to unwind and decompress!
Do Work- Vibes to your buddy, looking forward to hearing another success story once he beats it too!
Bucket- Hope to see you up north "in the cloud" much more this season.
Sorry to hear about the illness and injury, hope all is well for the season.
Nice to see the sun today after the dark week we just had. Good thing is the pattern is better for snow in the upcoming months.
Looks nice out the window today

DOWORK.....many vibes to your friend facing the same situation as Roadtrip......I cant wait for the day that they find a cure for cancer........
Now I need to start getting my ass in shape for the season. F/U with the surgeon on Thursday where I hope to get my release to start physical activity again. I am, literally, in the worst shape of my life right now.Quote:

Congrats as well on beating it. Whereabouts in NJ are ya?Quote:

had a pair of prophet 115's last year not really much to say except they do ski hardpack well ;-) Feels like a big fat GS ski IMHO
Yeah, that's what I'm seeing a lot of. Figured that might make them a decent pick for the EC / variable conditions
Road Trip, great to hear your story of beating the big c! Now what about a road trip to Ullrfest where we can all celebrate with you in style? I would gladly see you got your own bed in a nearby house and your own spot at the ice luge (though you may have to fight off I've Seen Black Diamonds...) Obviously, your health is first, but consider this an invite.Quote:

These might be useful for eveyone at Ullrfest, given that 17" of rain is forecast for that day.
Also, is that guy giving me the finger? And is that a giant... boner holder between the arms and legs?
cain't fucking wait....Quote:

Blowing ,Sucking call it what you will, Your're still on Your knees bitch:biggrin:
^^^ Hahaha. This thread was getting a little touchy feely thanks for getting us back on track! :wink:
I wish I could! It's been too many years since I've been to a Ullrfest.... but I've seen black diamonds hit the nail on the head. I'm in an immune system bubble for most of the month of October as my neutrophils dropped down to barely perceptible levels. I'm hoping to get released for "mild crowded environments" by mid October (I'm inventing my own scale of immune system isolation...) so I can at least catch some end of October ski movie showings in NYC. But I'll be there with you guys in spirit. Frankly, I'm hoping I'm allowed beer by that weekend too. I'll crack a few open and toast y'all from 250 miles south.Quote:

RT- very happy to hear that you are beating this and looking forward to resuming what you love to do. Its more than admirable to see you handling it like a stud and looking forward to resuming what you love. Keep us apprised of your recovery please!
New England Weather Works saying possible skiable snow this weekend. Great site and resource for our weather and really nice guys willing to field questions in their discussion forum.

VTF- great shot of paddington bear working that earlywood, I mean hose ;)
Always awesome to hear about other cancer survivors. Considering the best we've got right now is to poison the patient with enough toxic chemicals and radiation to kill the cancer without (quite) killing the patient, it's amazing anyone survives. I was diagnosed with throat cancer in June and went through 7 weeks of radiation and chemo that ended the 1st week of Sept. Now that the tumor is gone, recuperation is still rough and I feel like you do, definitely in the worst shape ever. With Nov and Dec I'll have time to get some muscle tone back and I'll be back at Magic with a whole new appreciation of life and the joy of skiing.Quote:

Can anyone recommend a Stowe are boot fitter? I need boots and was going to go to Skier Shop but was curious if others have better suggestions. Thanks.
inner bootworks is probably the best in town... but i still wouldn't say they're great.Quote:

for heat moldable liners in touring boots, i make a BTV trip and hit up OGE.
