That looks terrifying.

Is that on Muleshoe?

Yep. I'd never seen it before. Went in there and poked around. It was extreme, I almost died.
Next Wednesday, who is up for the mini?
Oh so tempting.
But I have work commitments and can’t bail.

I'm a possibly/maybe. Depends on work. I bought the Ikon for next year, and allegedly I am able to ski this season at the places where I have unlimited days, though I don't know how that works. So... yeah.Quote:

That's what I figured but I pushed as far skier's right as I could, and there were no tracks coming in from the other (Placer) side. And when Hawkgt and I hit Rock Star, pushing left from there turned out to be a bad move. There's clearly some good stuff in there, but just as clearly you need to know where you're going because those trees are not generally skiable, you have to know how to find the specific shots, and how to exit from them. I clearly know neither.Quote:

Roll call: Is anyone planning on Wednesday? I am, and I think hawkgt is, anyone else? We should make some vague plan if this is actually happening.
Was up there today, it's starting to get warm, but the snow was still good, two runs in Salto were money.

I'd like to but early indications are that work sucks and will be getting in the way.
I'm planning on being there on Wednesday. I actually just came in to see if there was any kind of meet up plan.
Yeah, I am unexpectedly swamped but going to pull this off regardless. And pay for it later.Quote:

10:30 or 11 works a little better for me anyway, but I am totally flexible.
How about 10:45 at Alpenglow? If I'm earlier, I'll just run a couple warmup laps down the Jug.
That works for me, let's see what Hawk says.
Smallest. Mini. Ever.
I saw more mags in the liftline at Silverton last Friday. :fm:
Would love to join...but don't have no fancy Eldora pass.
No one has ever, EVER, spoken those words before.Quote:

does 10:45 meeting at Alpenglow work?Quote:

Phooey, I'll make it to a mini one of these years. I had to go up to the east end of Ned last week and there was a ton of snow, goddamned buyers got stuck trying to get out there.

Good times
I forgot the buns.... had to sweet talk the cafeteria out of a handful, very pleasant group and willing to help out in Covid parking lot grilling times! Kudos Eldora!
Speed laps always fun, nothing like a wind swept sheet over the roller to wake you up!
Got one pic, moose was skipping school across the street to go smoke

Hawk always comes through. We had faith.
Pro tip: no matter how excited you are to ski the 114 wide jibby skis you just mounted last night, rock hard refrozen groomers are probably not the best venue for that. Pick something else.
Was fun though and good to see some mags in Covid times.
So when is the next one, so we can all schedule to avoid it? ; )
Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums
Yeah, lots of fun meeting and ripping groomers with you guys. Let's do it again sometime.
That burger hit the spot for the ride back down. Thanks again, hawk!
Man, things are melting fast. This afternoon in Powderhorn trees I came across a wide strip of dirt and downed trees.
I got “cliffed out” by dirt myself. Dirted out? Something. Trees left of jolly jug. Same place?Quote:

Good snow in places but it won’t last long.
Trees left of jolly jug, yep. Dirted out, exactly.
Are they doing a pond skim, next weekend? I'd like to take the kid up to watch.
Wednesday is looking good. I think I'll be able to make it up.
No idea re pond skim. Closed out my Eldora season today, got to finally race the kiddo. She could take me (barely) when I raced making tele turns. I still had her making alpine turns. By the end of next year, unlikely even the alpine turns will do it.
no pond this year that I am aware of, troller had a glazed look on his face when I asked him about it.
Level 1 super unknown going down this week, I'll be up wed for a bit so will holler jerk, prob up Sunday also to close out the year, got a bluegrass band playing I heard was pretty good.

Closing day, tomorrow. I'll be there with my kid.
Skied awesome today.
