glad you weren't hurt. shame the a-hole didn't get some kind of educational pain. i got taken out on a wide-open SS last spring by a similarly knuckle-headed a-hole who was going too fast and inexplicably skiing too close to me.Quote:

both did apologize but damn...stupidity is on the rise.
many more near-misses all season - by youngsters who never learned the courtesy shout-out "on your left/right" and seem to revel in the near-miss pass...
Ugh. Sorry. I try my best not to hate but I really, really REALLY don't like those idiots.Quote:

^^ ha! exactly. the uninitiated are likely to turn into the lane that should be avoided.
that they do...i'm likely done with K til spring passes, just as the last time i had a season pass - when i went 4.5 mos w/o using it after a shitshow powday in mid december.
blessed are the ski areas that still provide a degree of solitude!

Courtesy and skiing in control should, of course, always be paramount.
I’ve never heard “line!”. But I’ve also never been to Mary Jane.Quote:

Maine bc was good today. Shwack was thick, but snow was nicely right side up for fun turns. Only saw two solo skiers who took just one run each.
Cold so camera only came out once.

Kinda stoked to get my legs back under me this season, turns out I’ll be a freeride team coach this year! On the fence a bit about working for the mtn again but it’s a pretty sweet gig ripping around with the little shredders and skipping the lines. Most of the skiers are friends’ kids anyways so it should be a hoot

glad to hear that dw!
sounds like a much more ski-centric role, the kids will gain from your skillz...and they'll keep your skis running.
hope to run into you at magic soon:yourock:
^^^et tu VT??

^^ Now we know the season has really begun.
Stratton was great this morning until about 10am when all the late arrivers Thursday night rolled outta bed. We had the place to ourselves until we didn't. So we left. 16K vert in 2 hours ain't bad and they had done a nice job with grooming out all the snow they blasted the past few days. Still skiing all natural under the Snow Bowl lift. It's getting tired but ample proof that natural snow is soooooo superior to manmade.
Stopped in to see buttah but he was out skiin'.
I saw you and Bill? On lift line, looking good boys! Day 7 lunch laps, today was great.
Bought and installed studded snows for the truck. Sorry about the rain.

I then tried to counteract with a car wash, or did I double down?
Attachment 478707
Skiing rituals in New England can be so confusing
I was hoping to see some powder pictures by you from saddleback today

Was wondering who that was calling me a hack from the lift....it was Bill with me.Quote:

Soon enough I hope… focused on getting the truck and camper ready for westward expansion later this winter. Gonna be a long Winter and I’d rather start slow and finish strong.Quote:
