    Turkey Day TR

    scroll down if you don't want to read dribble and get to the pictures [/disclaimer]

    Convincing my parents that the road was safe took a long time, way to long. After half an hour of arguing they let me go. The road conditions were pretty much perfect pavement, good vis, no precip. Got to the hill and pulled our things on and sprinted to the ticket window. Got the tix and got in line. The line starts moving alas we are 10 people back from the first tram. Hop the second tram and ascend to 2500' feet clip in and go. South face was deep tattooed a perfect line down it then hit alpine and horror hill, just gorgeous. 20 inches of fresh blower on top of 40 inches of cheesecake wet snow kept me floating and kept snow going over my shoulder. Started lapping six. It was all good, good snow everywhere everyone stoked as hell. People teeing off cliffs, the coverage was better then 2 years ago in february. At about 1 the patroll opened high traverse where I got 2 perfect runs without tracks. Lapped HT two more times then due to dinner in the oven and the total disinegration of light decided to leave. Downloaded the tram and got home.

    Dude, that's awesome.

    Some of us just drank Hef all day followed by Finlandia at dinner (~10), followed by some Konejak (sp?), shitfaced and happy. But not as happy as I woulda been if I got to ski some of that... Thanks, blood.

    First I'd like some of that snow down here, I know I'm being selfish but I'm sick of running.

    On a sidenote, damn I need so longer fatter skis, how much are bromodels again?

    Nice TR, AKPM. Looks like you're working a bit more on your writing and it's definitely paying off.
