    Ok, here we are again, Sunday night and Bob's drunk. I've had a cold/flu for the last two days. I went without beer on Saturday night, it had no effect on my flu. So, tonight I've decided to try beer therapy. It seems to be working, I'm actually feeling pretty good.

    So good in fact, that I'm calling any Salt Lake punks out early! Come on up to Solituesday! Possible snow on Monday night and Tuesday morning. It should be gooooood...

    MacDaddy, D-Day, Spatters, Powho, BumZ, anyone else? (Non-Salt Lakers welcome as well)

    Twasn't a shat Tuffman, twas a puking. I can't count the number of times I've puked in resort parking lots. I'm not sure if it is the drinking or the lack of sleep that usually causes it?

    I pretty much live on Beer and Cigarettes. With a diet like this I have to expect some puking now and then.

    Regardless, major fun with you boys last week...

    Tuesday the 18th report:

    Today was another fine day in the Wasatch. It's days like this that remind me why I moved here long ago. The day started innocently enough, myself awakening to a bit of rain in the valley.

    I awoke slowly, the feel of water in the shower finally tickled my hungover mind. After I finished showering I felt alive, ready to take on the world. What is next? Time to get blazed, dull my mind and focus it on the task at hand.

    I loaded all my gear into the truck, park myself in the drivers seat. Suddenly my sloth of the week before becomes evident. It appears I am once again out of gas. Each week I seem to put just enough gas in my truck to make it to the mountain and back. You'd think I'd learn...

    Once my vehicle's and my own appetite was satiated the day began. To my surprise I managed to keep my McMuffin in my belly, no parking lot deposits today!

    The snow appeared once I hit the mouth of the Big Cottonwood Canyon. It wasn't much more than a spitting, but enough to lift my spirits.

    I hurried up the canyon a bit, late for an eleven o'clock appointment at Powderhorn. Surprisingly enough the road was clear, no snow or hidden ice to worry about. This had me worried a bit, the fun days are usually begun with a hair raising drive.

    Once I arrived at Solitude I found my fears were unfounded, plenty of snow everywhere. I hurried to gear up and skated on down to the Eagle Express. I arrived at the Eagle at 10:50, doing the math in my head. Given the 6 minute ride up I knew I had 4 minutes to get back down to the Powderhorn lift.

    I arrived at Powderhorn right on time. Once arriving I see two guys standing around looking uphill. One is in a one-piece and appears to be about 60 or so. The other guy is in his late 40's. I surmise that neither of these folks is "Broke Ass Student."

    Suddenly I see two guys ski up and the first tells his skiing partner to go on ahead. The first guy then commences to look uphill. I figured I'd made my mark right there. A quick request of the change for a nickel and we were riding the lift.

    Will (Broke Ass Student) and I had a fun few hours of exploring Solitude. I enjoy showing new people around the resort, in Will I found a willing pupil. We made a couple runs down the Headwall Forest/Evergreens and then two runs down Honeycomb.

    This placed us at about 1:30, just in time to meet MacDaddy at the Eagle Express. Once we hooked up with MacDaddy we took a few fun runs, the highlight being a run down from the Powderhorn lift into the Summit lift.

    At the top of the Summit we hooked up with a friend of MacDaddy's. We all agreed on a run down the right side of Honeycomb. I was with the group throughout the entire hike. Once we arrived at the end of the hike MacDaddy's friend left us in the dust. His name was Rich and this guy left us to eat his chewed up line. Will and I were both beat by this point, but both agreed we'd not have been able to keep up with him even fresh.

    Oh well, so be it. We still enjoyed untouched shots all to ourselves all the way out Honeycomb.

    It was quite a day, numerous faceshots and at least a couple waist deep turns. I had a hell of a good time skiing with Will, John and I'd like to say Rich.

    Beers at the Porcupine with MacDaddy put a fitting end to a fantastic day.

    Thanks again for the tour Bob, what a great day.
    The most untracked skiing I have ever had. So deep, so uncrowded... unbelievable.

    And Macdaddy thanks for showing me around too, couldn't keep up with you and Rich so I never got to say thanks.

    That was some damn fine skiing, nice work minions.

    edit: ok now its readable

    Damn, the season is coming to an end. Tomorrow I'll be skiing at Solitude for the last time of the year. As near as I can tell tomorrow will be my 13th Solituesday this season.

    So far this year I've been pretty lucky. I've gotten both storms and friends, each pretty valuable in their own right. I've skied with a number of people on my Tuesday days off. I've yet to meet a minion/maggot I didn't like.

    Enough of the misty love fest. Anyone wanna come to Solitude tomorrow!!!???

    MacDaddy and I will be arriving near first chair (near). As near as I can tell Solitude received about 19 inches in the last storm. Think we can find some fresh snow? Yup, this snow fell in the last two days, none today. Trust me, fresh will be found...
