Ima hike/skin up Magic to ski the newly laid down snow. Yes, Magic has skiable snow. Not to the bottom but this is groundbreaking early for Magic.
Will post pics of the overhead blower
Or something...
Wow that is truly amazing. As you know better then I, there were times you couldn’t say that on January 14th. Pics please!Quote:

Only reason I frequent yer thread this time of year.
And the fact that y'all are cordial...
Posting cuz I'm gonna be at the bottom of the LCC again this winter.
Wasn't so certain last month.
Threatened to cum back east last year when yer season started out well...
And know that maggots are welcome to crash here to ski the LCC or the BCC.
Y'all can repay when global warming forgets 'bout itself and I think of coming east again.
Long as you casted yer vote proper.

In other news...
It was a beauty of a day, eh?
My inquiries into whether or not people would get their panties in a twist if I shreded the pow at Magique were met with a surreptitious "go for it but don't hurt yourself"
So we took the covert way up the hill
Attachment 504885
The snow was not contiguous to the bottom but looking from the cross trail to TR looked promising

I'm definitely not on my A-game this early because I completely forgot to pack a Sunshine Corner beer or herb. Fack me. Off I went with no buzz on. The 4-wheeler ruts were a bit interesting. The snow was actually ok considering I was on BC105s with edges that would not slice butter.

My colleague in not-a-crime, Lane Meyer, decided not to haul his skis up since his touring rig weighs about 85 pounds. He hoofed it down as I was doing multiple transitions from snow to dirt and met me about 3/4 of the way down. He caught me sliding around a bit. I was able to actually link 10+ turns on a couple of the longer patches.

Earliest I've ever skied at Magic. Lane and I skied on Thanksgiving day a few years back on fast grass but this sets a new bar. All in, it was a good day.
And Mrs. MNIAW had prepared corn chowder for my return.
Attachment 504891
^^^^^Hell yeah. So glad that the ratio of earned turns to chairlifts in the thread is still leaning towards human power!
Right?! Anyone know if the sherb is in?
MNIAW- that was extremely extreme. Well done, sir.
Magic and Ikon this year- ski youze out there.
Figures you go this year and I didn’tQuote:

Fingers crossed for more snowmaking - and maybe some real stuff? - prior to Thanksgiving.
Will do :)Quote:

Either way, I did it today. I’m sorry or you’re welcome…

Great idea using the leaf blower to clean the gutters but I've always found waiting a few more months and letting the snow and ice just rip them right off the side of the house and then tossing them in the woods was the easiest way to deal with it.Quote:

The potential Revenue losses in this particular situation could be staggering.
possible lumber facts…
Found out late this afternoon that Sunday River opened top to bottom today, albeit with walking "required". That could be "stuff that annoys you" because I checked this morning before coming back from the Loaf, and decided not to grab a couple of runs because I had other stuff to do and downloading takes forever.
Oh, well. At least my tuning stuff is properly packed in a new toolbox and portable again.
i came here for phat wrod pics!
install gutter guards and take the reclaimed time and do fuckall.
I needed the gutter reminder, had some sticks get caught last year and almost had a section pull apart.
Inspired by MNIAW getting after it I thought I should look for some "WROD"Quote:

Didn't look much more inviting top-o-wrod while out riding Sunday, lots of water ice in the mix.
No need for gutter guards as it only takes 10 minutes to clear and I have free time.
bush opening delayed until sometime midweek with some snow expected before then so likely some opportunity for turns....

^ that glare looks inviting....
I finally got some uphill boots a few weeks back, I hear they are easier on your feet on the chairlift……. Ba dunsh
Nice to see it MNIAW, especially the last picture, that warmed my heart. Ski you soon.
What kind of skis do you all use for conditions like THAT?Quote:

Something is happening higher up and the birdcage stake looks sad with the water in the background. Cloud ceiling around 2k bob so not much vis. Occasional glimpse of light snow on upper third of Steins
