Things are filling in nicely up there. I already put the rock skis away. It may have been premature, but I haven't been sorry yet. It wasn't this good until the second week of February last year. I'll try to remember the camera one of these days.

I've decided to use that first shot you posted of me as my Christmas picture to send to family this year.
Hey, that's Lauren in the middle right? Small world.Quote:

I miss the DBag Ball, It's where I learned you can buy herbal remedies from patrollers
I thought I ran into Clubber about a month ago ...
Isn't that big Matt and Brit to Lauren's left in that dirtbag ball photo? I'm pretty sure I remember parts of that night.
Well, now I feel like an ass. I'm going to blame the goofy costumes.
Anyone have pics from the past few days?
Life has gotten in the way of skiing and I need a lil fix before I fly back to the EC for Christmas
wow
i wish my weekends consisted of 8 page trs
:p
Hey, where did the snow go??? Lots of windloading going on. Be careful out there.;) Today was a not so good day for turns but sledding in was fun.

Baby Jeebus is sad, was it that windy? Wow mtcham, I would have expected more snow back there by now. Where did you ski? Looks like it might have been deep enough back in the head of the basin?

I think I might have rode the bridger lift today with that guy in the vest. Left side, top row, third in... I think he had a red pair of heads.
Today wasnt too bad. There were still soft spots if you looked for them. This isnt me, or anyone i know probably. I just caught this from the PK lift. Coming out of nasal cavity...

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo wowowowowowowow!!!!!!!!!
fucking amazing, even though I could only manage 4 runs (had to be at work at 11). But it was worth it!
d00d, we all owe you and Fez like a case from each of us, pm me for contact info.Quote:

Don't worry, the next 2 seasons are pretty much guaranteed to go off while I'm stuck in the midwest/east. Plus, we're going to Mexico at the end of January so that should help even more. MT is close enough to UT to get the residual effect. Oh how I miss the west...Quote:

Anyone hear about the guy in tight squeeze? Hucked thirty feet to rock and smashed his hip and femur. Temp. ridge closure because of it.
And that right there is why you never, ever, ever huck this early in the season.
Ouch.
im even able to ski right now, but had the pow clause revoked this week because over half my department is out on vacation.Quote:

What the fuck are people thinking. It's way to early for that. Bummer for who ever it was. Glad we worked our way out N. instead of standing around with the masses. MMMMMMMMMM dddeeeeeeeeppppp.Quote:

Here are a few ok shots of yesterday. The first one is of my little lady. The dude in the sequence is like 6'5 with ski boots on. It was deeeeppp!!!
Oh yea and I'm the jackass with the cracked sidewall on the DPS 138.
Spoke with them this morning hope they send me a new pair soon.

and that girl on the far right, forgot her name, but i took her up for early season turns at BB 2 seasons ago now i think. well i had fun, but she, wowza, i dont think she ever turned from heal side on her snowboard the whole run!
she used to work at wellsfargo and then safeway i think.
I remember skiing the tight squeeze in 96-97. It was so filled in you could make turns down the chute, then it was like a 5-10 foot drop and you just had to make a turn around the rock he landed on. My buddy had just gotten a new pair of 210's and was having an off day. He caught a ski in the chute and ended up hanging upside down from the choke over the rock drop anchored in place by his 210. He finally managed to get himself out, but it was pretty funny watching him flail around trying to get unstuck.
Did the guy jump from the skiers left side of the choke? Sounds horrible, hope the healing goes well.
Well, it's been a few days since our last storm and nobody liked my idea for a new thread for this year, so I'll repost my pics from it here.
All pics are from a November(?) morning of skinning with the dog and lobstahmeatwad before we had to go to work and school.
We hit the inversion layer heading up. A very nice day for skinning.
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...0/IMGP2546.jpg
Then we hit the North Bowl road and realized we had to break trail through the new snow. The Dukes performed admirably.
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...0/IMGP2550.jpg
Then it was time to ski. Ghost (the dog) was jacked.

All photo credits go to lobstahmeatwad. All overly-stiff photo slutting is mine.

Then we had brunch and went in for first tracks on avy gully. It was blow in pretty deep.

I hope this quality repost appeases the snow gods and they bless us with their goodness.
Pretty gnarly up there today. Windiest conditions I have ever skied in, plus it was basically hailing at the same time. And it was packed? Craziness.
One the up side, my new tankers r00l!!
My oldest kid starts Mogul mice tomorrow, STOKED! (Both of us, maybe me a little bit more)
I sure hope those instructors know what they're doing;)
...and I'll be skiing monday.
w00t!
Flippers was $$$ on friday...
Flippers was not bad yesterday. One of the two runs worth skiing. The other is ptarmigan to upper sluice. Dont ski lower sluice, but when you are coming down stick to the right side walls in the upper part. "creamy"ish windbuff goodness.
The John has been skiing nicely, too. D - did things go well on Sunday. Conditions were actually pretty good. I meant to look for you but I had a HUDGE class of older kids trying to take chunks out of my tails on Alpine and PK.
