Initially we use baby powder on grease stains/ to “pull it out”?…..then hit it with the Dawn….usually pretty successful.

Or at least it seems to always happen early season- I assume because they’ve been doing all the extra maintenance and upkeep for the start of the season.
Maybe we should add wearing grease clothes to skiing on rock skis for early season
And crusty old local status… win/win in my book. Djongo keeps JHMR real. Never change and keep living in the Fall Line. I look forward to turning again with you.Quote:

Damn, I almost texted you.
I wasn't gonna ski then was up early so went out for some quick laps and vert. Not too busy and soft enough to carve around.
That second fucking cattrack roller on wide open was set to launch somebody...hoooo boy.
I was joking about the skiff of snow, that's a reference to a past mag here, Skiing-in-Jackson. RIP Stephen.
I caught it. Turn n burn.Quote:

I love seeing the Skiing-in-jackson “Pow Day” too so thanks for keeping that going.
I was slinging christmas trees today so didn’t ski but it was coming down pretty heavily at a couple points
And then the water content looks japow-style lightness towards the end of the storm tomorrow. We’ll be out in the am. Holla
Pretty fun day out there and nice to ski some soft stuff.
Super fun seeing a few mags out there- ran into Hoarhey first thing but he was busy with camps. Then waistdeep and skibird was an additional treat.
We left at about noon to get some other shiz done then saw that they opened Thunder shortly thereafter. Who got some??
Great meeting you guys
I also bailed at noon to watch kiddos while Mrs Hoarhey finished out her camp day
Fellow campers said broken goggle was good but an amazing mass of people lined up on the traverse!
Edit to add a Heritage Labs FR one ten sighting at the top of the gondy at eleven am…

I was out first thing and took a few fresh cowpow speed laps before splitting early. i was up at the crack o the crack so was ready to be done fast. maybe 6-7 laps by 9:30.
Was getting busy quickly and the line at the gondy was long and going nowhere so out.
Sure was nice to be skiing in a storm.
I lucked out and was about the #30? civilian Into the bowl. Mid thigh in spots on my old Coomba's. Didn't cross a track in the bowl that first lap. Did 3 more. It gusted up past 40 along with a brief torrential snow squall for a while - which only added to the stoke and helped fill in the tracks and numerous face plant divots. Best turns so far this season!

By some stroke of luck we decided to traverse out to Amphitheater on our way to ski lower GV to end the day. Must have caught the Thunder opening within the first couple minutes judging by the amount of untracked on that first lap. It was a zoo by the 2nd lap but still found some untracked thigh deep in the broken goggles area.
Some storm skiing was a nice morale boost for sure.

Likely mine, I’ve got demo binders if anyone out here wants to try em for a day
I am interested in demo. I will be skiing the village all week.
^Joe, to follow up on the hockey thing… Looks like the rodeo grounds rink is in. Usually Friday night there is a decent pickup game there and looking at the forecast I’d think they will have it cleared by then.
Last weekend they started putting the ice in at the Wilson rink. Wednesday is the pickup night there. Not sure if they’ve started them up yet but I’ll ask around and report back.

Damn, it sure is nice to have flurries for days. Yesterday's howling wind was welcome too. I love the smoothing affect of the windblown snow. Thunder liftline was beautiful this AM.
2Dollars - did I ride up thunder with you and the lady friend today? I'm the guy you felt needed a rest. LMao
TJoe - I'm out early for a coupla hours and then waxing around 6. Holla for a sesh or laps.
I gots no skates or a stick, but plenty of pucks in the garage. Rodeo rink looks open now
I've seen a coupla pairs of the HLs on the hill. Nice rides fosho.
Tomorrow is gonna be nice and soft.
edit to add: This Friday is the 100th anniversary of the coldest recorded December day in the Hole; 12/20/1924 recorded minus 52*. 3 years and 3 days prior, it was a record high of 61*.
Ours is a valley of mood swings.
I saw a pair of HLs in line at Bogus Saturday. Chatted the driver up a little and he turns out to be the maggot “shank”. He was in the singles line alas and we didn’t ride together so I couldn’t interrogate him further.Quote:

Thread drift, this is pretty interesting how they are engineering the Pass road repair. I’m not sure whether to be confident in this, or just chalk it up to ‘silly humans, trying to outsmart gravity’.
