Lucky #7 EC Roll Call 2013-14!

Bottom line is that EVERY season is special in its own way here. Moments of zero to moments of hero. Keeps the fire burning. Keeps us from feeling spoiled. Keeps us Appreciative.

As far as injuries and pain go, just keep yer whole body strong and yer weight down all the time if ya can. Haven't felt much of a twinge in the joints since my 20's probably due to keeping the daily 1-2+ hour workouts going of different sports. Never too much of one thing cept for surfing. If theres waves every day, i forget to eat enough, drink enough, little sleep. A month straight that and im all fucked up.:D

Fuck i have a lot of binding mounts today.

Rogblog

OBS forecast for George has improved:

"A frontal boundary will slowly traverse the region today as an area of low pressure approaches from the Mid-Atlantic for Friday. Light precipitation associated with the front this morning will fall as a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain before transitioning purely rain this afternoon and evening. Overnight, the front will slide east with cold air returning behind it. This will allow lingering precipitation to transition back to snow by Friday morning. Temperatures will then continue to fall through the day Friday allowing for continued snow as precipitation associated from the southern low approaches. New snowfall today will be a trace to 2 inches with a trace to an inch of glaze ice possibly forming prior to the rain. Overnight into Friday, an additional trace to 2 inches of snow may fall, however, totals on Friday may go higher is the low tracks a bit more inland than current model runs are suggesting."

I was done with resorts after my initial injury in 04. Thought the acl was gone, actually 1/2 tear. I've been aware of the time bomb in the right leg ever since. As far as resorts, can't hardly handle on lap on man made snow without feeling it immediately, but can do 6000 vert day in bc with regularity. Knee injury drove me away from the resorts. Come to find out, that was the best thing I could have done for my ski experiences. Best news from my scope...0 arthritis! Pedal. Pedal. Pedal. Ski.

Yikes, I think I'll be taking it easy for awhile…

That study is helpful, I'll have a lot to talk about with the doc when I go in (Jan. 6th), he's a shoulder and knee specialist. The two things I'm going to see him about, go figure.




edit: Found this little bit regarding the meniscus, this is it, to the T.

"In a typical moderate tear, you feel pain at the side or in the center of the knee, depending on where the tear is. Often, you are still able to walk. Swelling usually increases gradually over 2 to 3 days and may make the knee feel stiff and limit bending. There is often sharp pain when twisting or squatting. Symptoms may diminish in 1 to 2 weeks but recur with activities that involve twisting or from overuse. The pain may come and go over a period of years if left untreated."

Any mags going to see the WME movie in Burlington on Friday? I'll be there for the 6:30 showing.

First MWAC general advisory is up, talks of impending ice crust weak layer.

Great first day of spring skiing. A bit foggy on the upper 2/3rds but flat and soft = braille skiing bliss. only hassle was the 30 or so skittle kids flailing around, other than that around 25 others out.
Bonus for running into Henri, at 86 he's still spinning the squirrel wheel and not complaining about knee pain.

Got the ok to run gates any time I want with a ski team in the MWV. Haven't run gates in the last few years more than a run here and there. Looks like I found what I'll be doing when the weather is a little bitch. Might have to get a new pair of GS skis now...

Why not?... gates can be a blast. Was dreaming about them last night. And who knows, maybe you'll get a ticket to Sochi? ;)

36.2` bob light rain falling 28` summit. Lost 98% of the snow in my yaed overnight and the natural snow trails took a huge hit. With no grooming overnight here the conditions are going to be teh suck as things firm up.
Good weekend to sit on Santas lap and ask for a bountiful winters snowfall.

Neufox, enjoy the gate bashing, good fun can result.


My "2 planker" bindingless toy.

Sincerely,

Oh, and you might find this link helpful, since Rog is clearly such a thorn in your side.


Nasty morning in the banana belt, but glad to hear that it changed back to snow at Stowe. Initial reports that I'm seeing are that the skiing (that is why we're all here, right??) is superb.

Back to snow and cold at the end of this. Bring in that low ... that's it closer, baby:

"A cold front will continue to sweep through the region today bringing continued summit fog as a band of precipitation moves through. Temperatures this morning are close to freezing allowing for summits to start with freezing rain, but as temperatures fall through the day, a transition back to snow by days end is expected. As the front slides offshore overnight, precipitation may taper briefly during the evening, but another low moving northeast along the front will bring another round of snow to the region for most of the night. Snow will taper on Saturday morning as the low exits and high pressure begins to build from the west. The building high will rotate in even colder air during the day and will boost winds into Saturday evening, with gusts expected to reach around 100 mph by sunset. New snowfall today will be a trace to 2 inches falling on top of ice from freezing trail runoff. Overnight into Saturday morning, an additional 1 to 3 inches is expected. However, totals may be slightly higher if the track of the low moves closer inland than currently projected."

http://www.mountwashington.org/weath...t_forecast.php

Will make for some interesting conditions if we get more than expected. Winter is coming.

Sorry I can't join you all tomorrow and Sunday at Kmart. I have been using up all my passes this month to chase early season ice and its the wife's turn to go play. Have a blast. Ski fast and take just enough chances to make the WROD tolerable. Get sum!

2-3" overnite in the notch, heading up shortly to take a few spins.

Thanks akok, it all makes sense now. I'll catch on one of these days...

Pay attention Mr. Lynch, mini postponed till the 14th, work on the hall pass this week.
The postponement is good for me as my new FFG14's will be here Monday and I can mount a more WROD friendly ski. I was working too hard following Surfaces' tight snowboard slalom style turn for turn on my Fritschi mounted EHP 190's.

As Akokskis replied bob = base-o-bush where I reside, at 8:19 a few flakes fell though the temp is 36.6` currently.

Swing on by, I'll give you a lesson and get rid of that skid turn and teach you how to get some angles on those skis :D. You can even wear spandex if you want to.

If you can ski on ice, you can ski on anything...

Temperature graph on MTW falling FAST. Down to 14. http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/conditions.png

Aaah ... missed that. Afraid I won't be there either. Headed to the Daks to scare myself silly on some steep ice classics. Drink a beer for me.
