What kind of training son?

[powdork]

Aaaaarrrrmy training sir.

Ottime and I made arrangements to meet at Carson Pass @ 9:15 for a little maize and a little training. We ended up with WAAAAAY more training than corn. But that didn't matter, because it ended up being a powder day.



We walked about 1/2 mile before putting on the skins, since the PCT is making a recovery. After passing Winnemucca Lake, we realized it was gonna be a bit on the firm side.


THANK YOU TGR!!! (and P_McPoser)


Ottime on The White Ribbon of Life (on the Edge)


and again


and again


It was windy on the ridge tops, but 4th of July Lake was going crazy.


WTF is a rocket launcher doing here?


This is a look at Life on the Edge from top of Thimble Peak on Nov. 13th


This was Life on the Edge today. We stopped skiing at the red dot and then climbed down through rocks.


Then we mad our way over to Stove Pipe. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say West Shore is not ready yet.


Stove Pipe was a wee bit firm at the top. more


But then it got better. I told you it was a powder day.


This was a pretty line and ok snow.


Ottime forgot his camera, but I didn't want to disappoint the ladies. I would've gone for the full body shot, but the tall tee steeze combined with the Imam steeze would have been way to much too handle.


Making it back towards Carson Pass.


A look up at our original goal on the way out. it were firm with reverse tracks (nice ones) showing



Thanks to the guy that picked me up hitchhiking. I hope you got the job.

[StroupSkier]

Court, my lawyers will be contacting you shortly

[powdork]

[tahoetrash]

Really sorry to have missed that, hope you can forgive me. did you find your phone?

[powdork]

what the hell are you doing up @ 8 in the morn? stuck on east coast time?

no, i didn't find the phone. i got a new one which doesn't work, and just spent an hour getting another replacement sent.

I will say that Powdork makes an excellent Drill Sergent. I believe I even heard him screaming "Aaaaarmy training sir" as he dropped in.

We would top peaks, just for the hell of it. Nothing works you out like a down hill walk. And don't blink, 'cause he will already be at the bottom waiting to go up again.

Stovepipe was fun. Especially hitting it in November. And the powder, oh the powder. Not to mention the climb out.

I figure I saved $120 by not driving to Mammoth - lift, gas and I can't possibly go by the Momart without stopping. Still some how had energy today to hit the groomed WROD at Rose. It was nice to stretch the legs.

Is the Momart still open?

i thought I had blisters, turns out their just holes in my shin.

Mmmm. I did not think about that. With the pass closed, it may just be closed. That would have been disappointing.

Holes in your shin? Do you need a boot fitting? I definitely have some blister formation, but not too bad. Just need to add a layer of mole skin.
