got 5 great ski days wednesday thru sunday.
beautiful corn at squaw for 4 of the 5 days.
the sun never came out on saturday, but that was fun, too.
super amped to have bagged some quality january corn.
leaving the hill at 2:00 to catch the greyhound was SUPER painful yesterday...
the laps were getting better and better each run.
could not care less about missing the super bowl, but i wish i could've got two more hours of corn....
Some greybird shots from Saturday near Kirkwood with JMetzler...and we had a blast.
Plan - ski something over there, then hike up, then ski down to the lake

You didn't miss much, remember it's February after all. By my last run at 2:30 the sun was ducking below the ridges and things were getting pretty firm.Quote:

for what it's worth, i always ski until 4:00... it's one of my greatest passions in skiing.
i started doing this about 7 seasons ago and it completely changed my appreciation of the sport.
if you always stay until 4:00 you will always find something good to ski (or at least have a satisfying day)!
Do I have a long lost relative here???Quote:

Stoked to get up there this weekend. Mounted some new Lhasas. Never ridden them before. Interested to see what the hubbub (sp?) is.
if those are new lhasa's be sure to detune the tips and tails before getting them out on firm snow. mostly the tips
Hard snow?!
Lets hope that is not the case this weekend.
What took so long ;)?Quote:

You are failing to remember that I had a kid in ski school the entire time...:)Quote:

Tahoe mags, thanks for all the rides and beta the last few years. Just got offered a sweet job in Wydaho so it's time to move. If anyone needs crash space in eastern Idaho feel free to hit me up.
Congrats snapt. Heard lots of good things about Wydaho.
Skied Alpine today and found everything from fast groomers, slushy not as fast groomers, soft off piste corn and off piste sheets of ice. Pretty rad overall. I encourage everyone to get out and get some even if it isn't 3' of blower like we'd all likely prefer.
got out to round top today. the best snow out there was in the couloirs. there was some soft in the trees but mixed in with crusty and icy.
Powdork did you ski crescent, and if so, was it good?
Haven't been there this year, and o wouldn't mind going tomorrow.

didn't go very far up, but it was pretty good. firm but very carveable. half the time there was a constant heavy sluff from above, the other half the time big pieces of broken crust were blowing up the couloir and hitting us from below.
Hitting up Kirkwood on Friday, en route to Mammoth. Anyone gonna be around?
Yeah, Cinders & me are coming up on the SkiBus on Fri.Quote:

Hey we were heading up last Sunday, and the bus was playing the Movie "LineScore" (US Freeskiing comp from '07).
So, near the end the comp is at KW, and whaddya know, but there is a topless SuPu, beer in hand, with his fur hat & shades on, grinning from ear to ear.
Man all the kids on the bus started crying, and the girls & guys were screaming...you know, the usual reaction :smile:
Maybe. Watching the forecast and waxing skis. Can't believe I'm getting excited about 3-7 inches.Quote:

i don't care how deep it is as long as i get to wiggle around in it (that's what he said).
dont wiggle it all up, leave some for us weekend warriors
It's not about how deep it is, but how you use it.
Heading up to Alpine tonight - the way things have been the last few weeks, 4 - 10 inches will feel like 2 feet.
