Just started POURING here in Folsom so looks like that precip that WSD said was in Half Moon Bay and that Creeker said was in Davis is getting closer....it is definitely warmer down here than it's been the past few days however.

anyway, yeah....let's cover up those rocks with some mank.

And Senor Spatulator....I think you have one too many 0's in your huck height prediction above. Actually in my case, keep that '0', but lose the '4' ;)

So you aren't going to huck??? I'll believe it when I see it. I believe that everyday you skied last year (including both pre and post surgery) you left the ground at least once. ;)

AKA there is no way they are gonna let us bootpack up hill to the top of 6, but if they do, we can get first tracks in oops (before 666. :) )

I have a flight to catch so KW is out.

I'll be at Rose late - prolly 2-4...

Hey Kirkwood mags, what might the season pass pickup line be like Sat morning? Debating if I should just hit Rose Saturday and wait until Sunday to do the pass thingy at Kwood...

flying NKO, flying Iggy, guy is totally out of control and ONCE just ONCE i lose control and he won't let me forget about it.

Then again, I am not sure I want any part of 'Oops proper' this time of year, we'll have to see.

Mt.Rose

I am gonna show up @ Rose.

I will be there first thing in the am for 9AM lift opening. It may suck? Magnum 6 may not open till later, might not open at all due to high wind? OR I might get first tracks down Northwest. Look for me. Black & Yellow jacket Black Mt Hardware hat. Bright Orange skis. If they are not open I will be hangin @ the bar
12-01-2005, 03:34 PM

MTT, wanna go to Heavenly? More lifts, more terrain, less wind than Rose.

Rose sans East Bowl and Chutes...... :rolleyes2

Jim:

I can't go that far. I am sneaking away from work / On-call gotta stay close. Also Rose is my home Mountain. BAAD KARMA to go elswhere on opening day. I was tempted to go to Alpine, but see above about Karma.

Why Alpine? No cornices or upper mountain will be open; no backside open, right?

Funny you brought that up. My left ACL is 30% as 2 year ago MRI. I have already split cartilage in left knee last weekend; I think I am one fuck-up away from an ACL replacement. Need to get on good terms with a Reno Orthopedic surgeon.

Any names come to mind?
I have Anthem PPO

Hey Jim:
See you @ Mt. Rose! Show up in the AM if it sucks drive on down the road

Also looks like I am bringing Mom. She wants to use her pass for opening day

Think on the bright side. At least you haven't run into a giant solitary tree. The skiing equivalent of hitting a parked car.

Its starting to turn from HEAVY RAIN to snow here in Verdi. (4900') The wind is settling down. It must be dumping up on the Mountain!!
I have a very good feeling about tommorow.
My Ski shit is spread out all over the living room floor.

THAT was scary, I really thought he was hurt. I still have nightmares of that awful wailing sound he was making. ;)

I was at Alpine picking up my pass around noon today. It was snowing at the Lodge. Rain just below the parking lot.

The guys at the special tickets window said Summit was a maybe for Friday and Roundhouse was a probably for Friday.

The car got about 1/2" of slush on it in the 30 minutes we were there.

That jibes with the 1:45pm email I (and the other parents of team members) got from Scott Stone, head coach of Alpine's Junior Development Team: "Outside it is currently trying to decide if it wants to snow or rain here at the Base. Lift ops are planning on Kangaroo and possibly Roundhouse Friday the 2nd and a chance of Summit for the weekend."
