Ummm yeah, it's cold.

I hope you all have fun out there on this bluebird pow day. It's -8 at the top of Collins so don't freeze your balls off.

I'll be sitting in a nice, warm office....wishing I was skiing white, fluffy, in-my-face snow.

Werd.

Edit: I should note that us Utards don't usually get this kind of cold very often, we're spoiled with light snow, but not freezing ass temps.

-1 and bluebird outside my office right now at 7:45 am. I'm at work while the local mountain opens today after being closed for the last two while it snowed, and I know that dk_alaskan is on his way up to shred it. God I hate work!

got that right... Bear & I woke up to the not so fun surprise of frozen pipes this morning! UGH! and the day after my dad the plumber leaves!

it's our fault - we're in the middle of some exterior renovations, so the area that is frozen wasn't as well insulated/protected as it normally is/should be, and we didn't really expect/think about temps being this cold!

i made some quick fixes this morning after he left for work, and i'm hoping that solves it and prevents bursting pipes- we'll see;)

meanwhile, we need a heat wave!!!
(i'm thinking 30-35 would be nice)

Skiguide...

When in a frozen pipe bind a simple hair dryer can be your best friend. Takes a little while but its better than having your pipes burst.

Gonna check out Solitude in a bit, havent worn tha balaclava in a long time but I think today is the day.

-27C yesterday in Calgary, -45C windchill. Mtns were reporting about -30C. Little cold.

3F right now at both Alpental & Stevens. A 'balmy' 13F at Crystal.
that's extremely cold, by Pacific Northwest standards.

unfortnately, it's a comfortable 75 in the office today. At least there's another snow storm coming into the city tonight so should make the drive home 'very interesting'

It's pushing 70 degrees today here in eastern Pa. I would love a minus anything temp right now.

It was 1 degree when I went out to start the truck this morning. It is 11 now (noon). Supposed to be -11 tonight. This is all in town (at 7,200 feet). I bet it is colder up on the hill.

Today was cold, be sure to put some cold wax on your skis if your touring tomorrow. If not, it's super slow.

Good pow at Alta today, the cold wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I had to quit after four runs due to boot pain though. Looks like I have a date at Daleboot saturday.

That's lame, you should take her to a nice restaurant or a movie instead. Though, since your boots are bothering you, you could get new boots while you're there...hmm.

Squirrel, after my commute this morning, that's not even funny. :D

FKNA, boys and girls! Cold this morning waiting for the chair but well worth it. Boris got us a front row spot (as usual, good work dude). Normal cast of characters minus a few (we miss ya Xover...). We were worried that crossing the high-T would be rough, especially with all of the Rock Stars charging behind us so we let Sage's group go by and jumped in. The snow was really sticky (cold) and even my coldest wax wasn't enough today, the Spat's were dragging on the T's. We got to gut punch Highboy first run, it was great to look over and see AG and Sandy killing it to my right, Boris right in front in a cold smoke cloud. As I got to the access road at the bottom, I slipped onto the road and run into Onno. I thanked him, I don't know what for but it seemed the right thing to do. He smiled and knew what I was saying. The rest of the morning was a blur of face shots and meeting new people at the lift every ride. Sorry we didn't get to ski with Treskow, Kristin and Yetiman but I think everyone was in there own cloud. I'll smile at work all day today and I think I know why.

Wow, I don't think I've been this jealous in a while. It's painful sitting here at work...since 8:45am.

I'll get mine, it's just a matter of time boys and girls.

In the office, AND suddenly sick. Not the "boss, I'm sick, need to go home (snicker snicker, going skiing)" kind of sick, but real sickness. Sigh. Thanks for the TRs though, makes the desk (and runny nose / headaches) more painful. ;) ;) ;)

Trust me, I know how you feel. At the top of each lift ride, I had to "farmer" my head clear. Trying to ski the last few days with serious dizzy spells when I sneeze has been fun too. I think I've either got the Bird flu or the Plague. Hopefully through the worse and even more hopeful I haven't passed this on to anyone, it sucks. Get better, go ski Yenta......

I initially thought you came flying off of HighBoy onto the catwalk an RAN INTO Onno. I thought, "Oh fuck Craig, there goes your pass for while."
Sometimes one of the hardest things to do is shut it down at the bottom of High Boy before splatting onto the catwalk. However, one sweet, double EJ crater down by the Uturn and I learned my lesson.

Oh, by the way....I hate you.

Yeah, that would suck, he's probably the one guy I would not want to pancake. I'm with you, I learned my lesson a long time ago.

Don't hate, just come visit. You know you guys always have a place to stay if you need a fix.

Same, I'm holding my breath around everyone since I wasn't sick when I came in (I would have stayed home to avoid contagion), can't leave until my carpool is ready, and don't want them all to hate me. Sigh. Not being very productive today......

And nice on the Farmer blows! ;)
