Glad to see everybody got out there. Great storm to forecast. Totally fun to see develop.
Now bring on the rain.

impromptu EC mini summit at Whitegrass today.
Still waiting on action shots!
MC2 and MadPat will be back home tonight. Surly there will be more action shots (high res!) by then

Headed to CV tomorrow after work. I'm solo dadding it, so no skiing this time around. I was hoping to get a quick hike or two in, but looks like we'll be playing in the snow instead.
There will probably be ~ 15 mags in the area still if you're worried about skiing solo.Quote:

How is the snow holding up? Would it be worth the 8 hr drive from Indiana? I would be leaving friday after work sleeping in the van and skiing saturday and maybe sunday?
I would venture to say that there would be plenty of snow left...may get a little wet. But you may get some additional pow for your efforts.Quote:

You really can't be too careful with that sort of thing.
Huh?Quote:

Jealous VTF? - they got your gal! :fm::eek:
Looks like some of the travelin' mags made Chip's website. There's even a great quote from MadPat - If I was responsible I would not be in WV skiing Pat, Ottowa
She is heinous, no BS, made me jump back.[even though she is "my gal"]
I would have had a helmet on if I was there or if i was skiing anywhere. That's fine if helmets are not 'cool' for some folks if they are not skiing the gnar and think they don't need them, but I value my brains pretty highly.
Many little branches to hit in the woods here. Plus the pitch on Pipeline at the top is pretty decent.Quote:

BAHH. So Torn on this.
Good choice, I hear that guy is an avalanche instructor and American Avalanche Association board member.Quote:

Im glad you're getting some ( as Brit say we got ours at the weekend and it was ankle deep and its melted now)but for the sake of accuracy...what do you mean by 3 ft of powder?Quote:

Usually, well at least out here, we refer to powder depth in terms of ski penetration, for instance boot deep, knee deep, waist deep referring to the depth of loose snow(powder) above our ski plane.
If it was 3 ft of pow( which it may well have been) then it means you were skiing with powder up to your nut sack or waist depending on your height.
You need a pretty steep pitch to ski waist deep powder without getting bogged down or else it has to be 4% blower if it's flatter terrain.
Please clarify!
A bit farther South, but my buddy didn't have his skis, so he borrowed his friend's snowboard. He's never snowboarded before....
In workboots.
