    182" so far; 88" base!!!

    not to rub it in to those not here, but we thought we were having a sick year last year when we hit 200" by New Year's - how's 'bout this one when we are damn near there by the end of November?!?!

    for the maggs coming to the mini - just bring your brand spankin' new bros or whatever brand spankin' new fatties you're riding cause lines are filled in and rockless that I haven't seen filled in since I've been here.

    we are living in a real-time "Harvest" right now

    Good to hear it X. Although you prolly just jinxed it, now it won't snow again in Utah for like 3 months. Sounds like it's been epic so far, now we just need Red Baron to schedule about 4 of those storms from this weekend for the Mini and the few days before it.

    Oh yeah, and 1000 posts, woo-hoo!

    we thought it was a extraordinary year when we had only 60 to 80 % coverage of the usual snow in the swiss alps last year at this time. but this year it's even better!!! we only have 0 (in words ZERO ) percent to max 40 percent of the usual coverage. It's gonna be a glorious season ! [sarcasm off]
    It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

    What is this snow you speak of? Inquiring minds on the East Coast would like to know.
    Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

    That's 182" more than most places have on the ground in New England right now.

    How's a fucking fat 0 inches of natural snow. I am more than pissed at the jet stream right now!!! We better get some soon. I am going insane reading of these TR's lately. It's even worse now that I pulled the trigger on the Bro's.

    Actually, last year was 300", not 200" by Jan. 1. With the Xover jinx factored in, we've got a long way to go.

    you better not be pushing; you better be belaying

    and ya, I do want that line first - hopefully before DTM gets out here - so we can say "see those trax outta there"; "ya"; "there's OUR'S sucka - bwa"

    300?? Ya you right; I though you fried all those "memory" brain cells long ago

    besides, what's a measily 100"?? that could be made up pretty quick 'round here.

    I'm so happy now. I love everyone and everything!! :::ecstatic vibes:::

    Soon to arrive at my door are brand new Trouble Makers. I was going to ski them the weekend before the mini at Killington. But I may hold off and inaugurate them in UT. I think it would be the decent thing to do...
