It would be a great weekend to head up and dork around, but I am only 4.5mo post op on the ACL and my PT keeps reminding me the graft isn't considered full-strength until 6mo. He hasn't cut me loose yet. I haven't had to deal with it all season because of the weather, but I actually have to apply some restraint this time.

And my skis aren't tuned.

And I'm afraid of rockstars.

Umm,

I just called the Alpine Inn and all rooms are half off this weekend!

got a room, actually two connected rooms, for 87 bucks!

There's two extra beds if anyone needs one. I'd be glad to trade lift ticket vouchers, or cash for space.

I guess I am only dirtbaggin' it on Friday night, as I arrive too late to warrant a hotel room's price. Plus a shower and change of clothing will be good after Saturday.

PM me if you wanna go in on the room.

Here's your latest NOAA Report: (This is for a general point at 6100 feet 8 miles ne of rainier.)

Created: March 30, 2005 17:06:55 PST

Maybe you should start hiking, the exercise might do you some good. Also last time I checked you really don't have to ski in order to take pictures of Powder Pass (a/k/a "the easy way to Lucky Shot"), you just have to be able to ride the lifts.

You are so fucking core.

Can you teach me to be as rad as you? Will that do me some good?

Optics, you know better than to feed the trolls.

**optics** · 03-31-2005, 01:58 PM

But it was right there at the top, and I got to say "fucking core".

I'm waiting until tomorrow night (or EARLY Saturday AM) to make a decison- it's all snowfall/weather dependant. But 1 day @ Crystal and 1 day @ Alpental look like a lock for this weekend!

Hey, don't fergit the girl whose putting a roof over certain maggots' heads! (You know who you are, see you there!)

**iggyskier** · 03-31-2005, 10:34 PM

i'll be there on Sat. for sure with some friends from UPS. Sunday is possible, may make it to Alpental though. It should be fun.

**extreeski** · 03-31-2005, 10:41 PM

With the weather report we're getting I'll be there sunday too!!!

But I don't need to have the extra super special maggot discounted tickets both days. This weekend in itself is a blessing with the season we've been havin'

Bump on the offer if anyone needs to stay up on the mountain and not drive.

Chu got it meyn!

I plan on arriving at the main lodge (I will be on the 2nd floor nearest the upper patio next to the lift) around 8:15, and I will hang out there til the lifts open up. So, for all those Mags who need a lift ticket (Cash only, no check)be sure you are there, cause when the rope drops its on, and Im gone.

What Mag channel on the radio is everyone going to be on? My persoanl fave is 11' 27.

BTW...Happy Birthday BC!!!!!!
