my tickets for Sierra were blacked out today Shoe. So, I decided not to subject your pristine skis to the granite rocks lurking under the snow at the Heave. As expected Heave got the least amount of snow of the South Lake resorts, about 2 feet (less than my backyard) and I hit a 'shit ton' of rocks. So, I am glad I didn't take your new Lotusesss (Loti?) out.
I will say that upper Avalanche Bowl at the heave, although thin, was a blast as long as you stayed light (and had really really fat skis- like pontoons). Many face shots were had in there and it is a great pitch for tree skiing.
BTW, I am growing to the love the Toons. Spats are going into semi-retirement.
Snow on Sunday incoming but 90 mph winds on the ridges. F**k.
HASKINS: "Almost too deep to ski":eek:
FUCK HASKINS! :cussing:Quote:

yeah a 6 oz martini couldn't hurt either!
fuck me you're not kidding bout the lurking rocks at the heave lph and you're a brave man for hitting a-bowl. on my 1st run down mott i hit a rock that threw me down hard into another rock in my back. wind was knocked out of me and i'm all sorts a gimped up now. actually had to ride the gunbarrel chair down:nonono2: cause i was so hurtin. now i remember why i haven't skied there much this year. shitloads of rocks still on or near the surface, gaping hordes, not as much snow and pretty tame terrain. shoulda called it a day after the 2 laps we did at p-house this am. that there was some kickass skiing w/ every turn sending blower over the shoulder. so that track is already punched walter but i gotta say its a pretty beat one and i can't take credit for it. when we showed at the trailhead there were already 7-8 cars there by 6 am. after some settling today and no wind to speak of, tomorrow/sat could be time to push it in the bc (if i can even walk).
can any of you folks that hit kwood today tell me if you noticed any natural avy activity around carson pass??? thanx
suck it Trabec! I slayed it today, and skiing Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, and mabeee Wed its it still good :D and then I will be fired, which is kinda what I am hoping for anywayQuote:

I realize I don't know the heave very well. but really I couldn't have been more dissapointed. 'Maybe' 2 feet up top and just SHITTY coverage. And to be honest some of the runs it was tough to even turn the toons it was so mellow.:nonono2:
the avy bowl runs were by far the best, but man, i was light as a feather on my skis and skied each pitch only after deciding on every turn before i even started skiing.
I thought this only happened to Arty?Quote:

such good laps on kt headwall granite and silverado. blower.
skied with jamie blair today (bigtime lurker i found out) and he was sending it like the good old days. it was fun. i'm happy.
its maybe just going to get better.
Kirkwood was
ALL FUCKING TIME
I'll write more later. But here's a teaser. Faceshots til closing. PERFECT landings. I'd say it was jaw dropping, but if you opened your mouth you choked.
My first run was top 10 lifetime. Maybe top 5. Infuckingsane.
Oh and Haskins was right. If you were anywhere remotely flat, it was too deep to ski.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who relived a run down Gentains after reading that. ;)Quote:

Yup heav got half of kweeds total... Again? Mostly knee deep and once in a while deeper. There are things to grab at ya still though. I think we are approaching the 100" for feb. Anyone been in lil alas*a this week?
yeah, i hear ya len. seems just about every time i go to raider nation i'm a little disappointed these days. while it can be fun w/ low elevation snow making firebreak, raleys and avy bowl in play, this year has been a bust. i'm pretty over it except for taking my boy out and when firebreak is doable. if it wasn't for taking my kid there to teach him to ski and the convenience factor i wouldn't bother buying a pass there next year. if it was any more then $300 i'd be real hard pressed to buy one as it is. i'll be sticking to the bc for the foreseeable future until we get lots more snow.
I love taking one for the team. If I hadn't been surfing perfect head high warm water barrels at Superbank with the likes of Mick Fanning, Bruce Irons, and all the bikini clad chicks practicing for the Roxy Pro, then maybe I'd be pretty pissed off about missing this storm.
See you chumps in a week and a half, when we'll resume the previously shitty winter conditions
Split, kook! Stay at home where you're wanted.Quote:
