    Bluebird at Blackcomb?

    thats right, it actually stopped snowing and the sun came out. 72 cms of the most dense snow you can imagine.

    visibility is overated



    I much prefer brail skiing, it requires more skill.



    shirk was too busy admiring the scenery to see the debris pile



    more snow on deck for the weekend kids.

    I thought I heard the doc say he needed to take a few days off work to recover

    Yeah, that dry air at work will hinder healing.

    I smashed my nose against the half opened tailgate of our Suby at Christmas.

    Feel free to use it as an excuse - a couple of days off just in case of concussion may be necessary

    Have you looked up shirk in the dictionary? It's the economic term for blowing off work

    The tale will envolve a mtb ride after work on tuesday, and a mild concusion keeping me in bed today.

    "High Altitude Therapy" is a valuable tool for recovering from illness or traumatic events. When I got the shit beat out of me by a crazy guy (he said he worked for the CIA) while driving the #40 bus route I took a couple days off. The first one I nursed my bruises and took calls from the boss and others and the second I went for the HAT up at Mt Baker. Worked wonders it did!
    I also use HAT as a cure for the common cold on occasion. I've never actually told them at work I was getting HAT. They might not understand.

    In drove this drunken madman and stopped on a dime! Unfortunately the dime was in Mr. Rococo's pocket!

    shirk i just hope your boss isnt' a lurker on this forum. nice pics, i heard the snow was absolute cement as well. a buddy of mine went up for one run and called it quits. on the plus side temps have dropped and should stay there while the forecast calls for another 50 by week's end.

    I'd say your friend is a total idiot if they only put in one run.


    Pulver, it was pretty rough work eh, but we were gitn-r-done until I rung my bell. You know how much it sucks to ski pow when you should be stuck at a desk.
