Solisunday?

[QUOTE]Bob is so full of shit

first he tells us that he's in love with us

then he lies and says Soli rocked today?

he tries to carry on with something to the effect of,---- like the deepest day of the year if not in last four years, I mean they had to put little ropes under lift to keep people from hitting their heads on my skis, or just in-case Mannute Bol and his family was skiing today.

solitude really sucked

Tresckows girl cant ski either...........oMFg

Well maybe I was getting a little tired. Two days of that lousy Solitude powder was taking its affect.

It was great to see everyone on Sunday. Skiing was great even though the lift lines were getting long. Monday was great too - skied with my daughter on a beautiful bluebird day and had some fun rippin' the groomers.

Plan to be back out sometime in April.

BTW, I don't think I ever thanked Iceman for the slice of pizza - Thanks.

Whoo Hoo! It appears Frozenwater has a hall pass for tomorrow. Anyone else in? Tresckow, Kristen, Woodsy?

If Kristen needs a ride up the canyon call me. See y'all at Eagle.

To help get you all stoked for Sunday, I have to offer a quick report of today.

It started dumping around 6am, and was boot deep by 10. The wind was howling and all the tracks from yesterday (which didn't suck either) were filled back in. Face shots everywhere, and patrol didn't drop the ropes up top till afternoon. By then, most had been lapping Honeycomb from either Navarone or pooderhorn, and kept to the bottom of the mountain. And again, the real show was going on up top.

Full on wind-blown goodness which encouraged moving fast and airplane turns into the drifts. I love those super light Wasatch pow days, but I also really appreciate the wind-blown. It feels much easier to stick those landings and facillitates monster turns in zones which would normally be difficult to negotiate around big rocks. The snow just sticks to all types of unmarked hazards.

So Cathedral and the goods off the traverse back down to Summit were up for graps. It was so deep yet windblown perfection. Haul ass where you want and then dump it all into the drifts and submerge nipple deep.

That's about all, and Sunday should go off.

Kristen's parents are up here tomorrow, so we (her?) will be giving the tour tomorrow. I'll have my radio, and I'll be in the Summit area around noon.

Get some.

Bluebird doesn't begin to describe it. Today was one of those "how is the sky so blue?" days. There was still snow to be found hidden all about Solitude. Days like today remind me why I love this little resort. The skier participation was back to normal, no lines and an easily parked lot.

I arrived at Eagle on time and waited for Frozen, no sighting. So, I headed up to the Summit and listened attentively to my radio (those things are fucking annoying). Eventually I heard Tresckow paging my name, we all hooked up at the top of Summit and the game was on.

I proceeded to putz around with Kristen's parents, and let Ned and Kristen ski by themselves. Yes folks, I am getting old. Well, that and the fact I was running on about 4 hours sleep (that damn video game). I definitely noticed where Kristen gets her skills, her Mom can tear it up.

Kristen's parents are fine individuals, I enjoyed putzing around with them. Plus the fact we retired about 2 and drank beers in the sun, that's gotta count for something.

Once again, a fantastic Solisunday,

BobMc

Kristen and I just got in from Tahoe and will be up here at Solitude in the morning.

The weather station above the pooderhorn lift shows 49 as of 4 am, so no need to wait for things to corn up.

I'll be walking out of work around 8 at the Inn, give me a call up here if anyone wants to rip around.

Tomorrow should be good! I'll be at Eagle at 11, anyone else in? I'll be meeting MFI and MssBlondx there as well.

I'm hoping for a Tresckow/Kristen, Woodsy, and MacDaddy sighting.

C'mon up and join us,

BobMc

Kristen and I will be here and there tomorrow. Maybe bottom of Summit at noon?

Mac Daddy, you gotta rally for this. I'll drag Woodsy out as well. See you fools in the powder.

Oh, and it's 130am and there is this white shit falling from the sky. Lots of wind and snow driftage, meaning there will once again be some deeeeep turns in the woods.

Time to go burn one, later.










Just messing with you Woodsy, I hope your maxing and relaxing right now. Take another shot for me.

you aren't getting funemployment that easy T!


as well as some friends of mine from NorCal.what a fistful today!!!
MFI, MssBlondeXX, Treskow & the rippinMrs. Cantdog & a buddy, boarderline & the "unofficial spokesman of Solitude" BOB MC!.

lost our NY friends on the way to Summit (bob waited) then ir was on. Bob, CD, & I travesed out for some fresh in Headwall forrest & scree slope,
saw Steve L shooting with Binger & hopefully Alitatude or chic.

then I got smart & followed Treskow into the drops & trees & sheltered snow of the trees by corner chute.

SAWEET!
boys retired to Discuss safety & I dragged my boarder buddy around till he was spent.
back at work with a big ol Grin
woo hoo what a day, did not even go in Honeycomb. lappin trees off the summit was a hoot, fresh fast & FUN!


Blue bird, soft & delicious

NICNESS!

I went to Brighton on Friday with my boarding 13-year-old nephew. Got there at 11AM, thinking the place would be tracked out. Acutally made the decision to go there after checking the temps on the web and talking to Frizzo. Said Snowbird had rain in the early AM while Brighton was 32 degrees. Off to Brighton...was tough to pass up El Coulier de Woodsy. But, never had been to Brighton, and thought the monoplanking nephew might enjoy the boardin bonanza said to be there.

Patroller siad there 13'' at 6AM...

To my surprise, I found a great little area, devoid of the crowds one canyon south. I also think the Brighton crowd thinks the trees are off limits...we lapped run after run of untracked pow (did have a bottom to it but still very nice) off Snake Somethingorother Express and the Great Western Express. Very fun day...

Methinks there needs to be a BCC all inclusive pass.

I like them thar BCC areas...no hordes like at the adjacent 'hood.

Amen.

$59 bucks gets you a SolBright day pass, but you are totally correct, a season pass connecting the two would be very cool...or maybe even an AltaSolBrightBird pass? :rolleyes: However, I'm pretty confident that will never happen...

Whew, Woodsy hit the nail on the head. It was a damn fine day!

Last thing I remember about last night was seeing the sun come up. I really need to get away from that damn video game. Alas, I felt pretty chipper when my alarm went off at 10. It's amazing what 17 or so beers and less than four hours sleep will do for you.

The ride up was pretty uneventful, I had gotten up early enough to even get McD's.

As I poled up to the Eagle lift I spot two people apparently waiting for someone. I say hi and how's it going, they don't really respond much. Oh well, I pass the turnstile and about fall on the snow. Woodsy!!! Damn it was good to see him out on the snow, as many times as I've been to Solitude this season this was my first skiing with him. (This season of course.) Accompanying him were Cantdog and his friend Cameron. We waited a few minutes for MFI and MssBlond, eventually I just started hollering "Nickle!"

Turns out the two people I had said hello to were indeed MFI and MssBlond. We took a ride up Eagle and headed down Rhapsody. It was decided MFI and MssBlond needed some warm up time, so I headed off after the rest of the crew.

We lapped the Headwall a few times and met up with Tresckow and the Missus. Boarderline showed up soon after. Like Woodsy has said, the Headwall Forest and Evergreens were a mix of creamy goodness.

Eventually guilt began to fill my head, I left the group after a quick safety meeting, in search of MFI and MssBlond. My timing couldn't have been better, I spotted them just as I got to the bottom. I took them for a few laps on Eagle, Powderhorn and then headed up to the Summit. I think they had quite a good time, perhaps a little nervous at times, but all in all a good time.

The day ended with a run down Honeycomb. The lower skiers left traverse is situated perfectly, easily accessing the goods.

Whew, I'm wore out.

I did manage to take a couple pictures.

MssBlond called last night to tell me what a rippin time they had with you Bob. Yes, she got a little spooked with some of the shit she was looking at :D She said they had a great time...loved the place and definately recommended it to me and my family if and when we ever get out there. She did mention the pictures you were taking....cant wait to see them :D

Looks to me like he's thinking "if I drag my knuckle a little more I can get perfectly perpendicular to the fall line. Aw, I wish I was a snowboarder."

J-

d-day------------->so gaping right now!

Well folks, this weekend is it, the end of the season. I'll be up on Sunday, Eagle at 11.

The real reason for the early thread bump is to get Woodsy to roll on up to marketing and tell them the damn Solitude website is down.

BobMc

we know,
server is down, prolly til tomorrow.

I will be on the stix on sun a bit but bailing early to lock down my property & catch a plane to Alberta

Saturday night bump hoping Tresckow updates me on the weather.

Release, you around? Hoping I'll at least see the Tresckow two and Woodsy.

BobMc

Calm down, step away from the computer. Go to sleep, come to Solitude tomorrow...

BobMc

oh boy.....I'm special on the internet!!!

BOB leave me alone:D my computer is slow, and that makes two of us......
and I have (2) 30 packs of silver bulets from cali

:cool: Have you all noticed (on my avatar) that the head band on the purple derby hat, there are little figures getting and giving fellatio? sp?

Hope the closing day was a good one. I had plans to be there - even had the plane tickets bought - but had a situation come up that forced me to stay home.

Although the season ended with a whimper, January and February were good for me. Looking forward to next year already. It was great this year to ski again with BobMc and MacDaddy. Meeting Tresckow, Kristin, Woodsy, Iceman and others for the first time this year was great too. I hope to see everyone again next year.

Woodsy and Trecksow - will you be back at the Inn next year? What about this summer - the Inn is open isn't it?

Iceman - maybe we can be part time neighbors.

Today was good
real good. heli-star good.

damn I love being closed

I MADE IT !!

off to banff,

R we are open during the summer for wedding s & events

I will be here next year too, Ned we will see about:p


wow what a season

Today was good. I was late as usual. Didn't see anyone, so I skied by myself. The parking lot was far from full, the mountain was empty.

It seemed to just be a bunch of pass holders up there. I can definitely see why they are closing. If over a foot of fresh snow can't get people out of the valley it makes no sense to be open.

Thanks to everyone I skied with this year for making it a great season!

sounds like a normal winter day...I usually park to the far right and zip up the eagle chair when I ride there....never more that 10-15 cars down there...early season, mid winter, spring...what a hidden gem. Only car I see there on a consistent basis is an old subaru wagon with a Busch beer bumper sticker...guy wears a straw hat when he skis, that car was there every single time I was this year, no matter which day....last week it was parked in the BCC park and ride...but still there.

Release,
the inn will be open for conferences and weddings, and full-time around opening day. If your visiting this summer, be sure to drop by.

BobMc, sorry we missed you but Alta called. We will be drinking beer together soon. Check your pm for our #

Woodsy made a funny, truth is he would have much more gray hair right now if it wasn't for his super loyal and hard working staff, especially a certain staff member who happens to be working today. I hear it's not a smart business practice to talk shit about the one employee still up here, in a empty hotel, who has the master key.

Have fun in Banff, sweet dreams.
