I actually like stormy days, flat light / difficult lighting. Makes me work for it to get good images.
Any thoughts on how JHMR will ski this weekend? I'd normally just go for a walk but my touring boots are currently killing me. Anyone going Saturday or Sunday? I'd love to poke around with someone if I can make it happen.
^^^I'm an out of towner, but planning JHMR for Sunday and Monday.
On 3/23 it was a coral reef, like blue ice on groomers until it corned up after noon and was pretty fun. Then refroze over night.Quote:

Whatever happens this week should answer your question;)
Winter snow and winter temps at Targhee today. And nobody. Another storm starts tonight maybe
Skied JHMR today with a grumble of maggots… 3 inches on top of a moderate crust from the warm temps. North aspects were skiing better, as expected.
Many thanks to Djongo for a night at the waxroom and breakfast out on the town. Always nice to ski with east or bust and I met steved.
Off to Colorado…

I guess I never realized that a group of Mags is called a Grumble … but now that I hear it it’s obvious.Quote:

According to today's declaration, 4 mags on a chairlift qualify as a grumble.Quote:

I've been holding off to rehab so it was a tentative start. Conditions were smooth on piste with a little fresh and some storminess abrewing.
Off piste was mostly kinda chalky and carvy, more forgiving than you'd expect but north sides were delivering. Frozen mank was gnarly and quickly diverted from.
Prior weather reports should be ignored. The village is skiing fine and It'll be quiet on Sunday methinks. Ghee could be softer and quieter if that's yer thang.
Tons of sweet corny sugar today all around the hill. Great turns to be made for miles at a time. Single went the distance, wasn't even breathing hard.
Thanks to EoB and Stevied for tagging in and sending our mag off to the nether regions; CO.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A grumble of maggots can be defined as any chair full of mags. No interlopers, except our own, are allowed.
2-4 chair grumbles are the norm, 6 and 8 grumbles are rarer with the added exclusivity of the bubbles, some yellow, some blue.
A heated 8 seated blue bubbler may be the cat's meow.
Ganjalas are less rare than the 6&8 chairs. Plenty of them to be had, but it may be the best venue for a grumble of excited pow fiending mags to be hooting on a first run on a pow day.
Unobtanium is a full Jackson First tram with 100 mags aboard on 16" pow morning with a hazy sunrise...
Tell me more and sign me upQuote:

Keep charging that wasatch pow. We see youse guys...

We had a private tram for our wedding and it was 5 grand, which was less than I thought it would be [emoji1]Quote:
