Pwn3d by a pow day

[iceman]

So it snowed a lot at solitude last night and today and it's absolutely nuking out right now. Why am I in here typing? because I got totally owned.

Wife and kids took off yesterday, I stuck around for hte storm for a couple more days. So, no wife, no kids...to the bar! I wasn't all that hammered and the bar closes at like 8:00, but this morning I felt like absolute death. But I scrambled and got out there. Aftter two runs it was clear that I was a danger to myself. I could hardly walk, much less ski. So I went in and tried to rally. Ate some food, drank a bunch of water, Chilled for a bit and went back out there.

Mistake number one was not taking the Spatulas back out but I thought it would be more cut up than it was. Turns out I forget how to ski pow on mid-fats (84 waist). I couldn't do it. Plus I was still feeling like death. So I went in, dranks two Powerades and two bottles of water, and tried again.

By this time it had begun nuking again. Visiblity was nil. It had gotten colder too, and I was shivering on the lift. Start to ski down, picking my way 'cause I couldn't see anything, and I slam into a snowbank left by a cat. I wipe out, and it turns out I had somehow forgotten to buckle my helmet. It goes flying off, helmet and goggles fill with snow, somehow I didn't lose my glasses at least. Of course they were covered in snow, making it even harder to see.

And of course one of my skis was missing, it took me a while to find it. So as I finally click in, water running down my face and neck, unable to see jack, shivering, two words leapt to mind: Fuck. This.

So now I am here in the condo hiding from the world. How was everybody else's day?

I have witnessed the spats in heavy cut up, and they seemed to work great. Granted it was Trescow skiing, and he is awesome.

One run is more snow than I had today.

[hat]

One run is more snow than I had today.

I've got the same problem.

[Pow4Brains]

Not a good as yours, I'm stuck at work wondering how much it is snowing.

[Evmo]

That blows...

If it makes you feel any better, I found out today that my f'ing ankle is indeed broken, and I dont get to ski for 2 months...

[Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo]

2 hours at lunch today in the deepness Ullr is bringing and I spent about 10-15 minutes of it pushing myself out of some untracked stuff that swallowed me and my swallowtails. Even with the swallowtail the 95 waist got pwn3d.

[Vicious]

Spats are better in cut up pow than most skis...they just skim over everything.

That aside...I think my day was better than yours.

[BushwackerinPA]

I am in Pa where it is 65 degrees, wishing a powder day was owning my ass.

[William Murderface]

A pow day just got pwn3d by me.
The bird was fucking sick today.

[train07]

I had my mouth around the muffler of a forklift most of the day, but it doesn't sound too much different than your day.

[Steven S. Dallas]

Flailing on what should otherwise be a great day is the worst- esp. when your buddies are killing it and you, for whatever reason, are just sucking. Couple that flailage with a solo day- I never ski as well, or enjoy skiing as much, when I'm alone- you've got the recipe for calling it early and living to ride another day.



You pussy.

[iceman]

You pussy.

I have no defence against this charge. I flailed and got owned.

How great was today Joe Joe? I am assuming you hit Ajax up. I got a good five hours on the hill and it was unreal. Totally empty, went from deep to deeper. The sidecountry is a bit sketchy though. Heard from friends that Powerline slid. I did not make the mistake of leaving the spats at home.

I am stoked out of my mind right now.

Dang, that would have been right down my alley, too. That's it, I'm never leaving the computer again.

[Schmear]

Well at least you didn't crap your pants.

...Or did you?

[tradygirl]

Look on the bright side...

you can get wasted tonight and get your ass kicked again tomorrrow. 10 more inches of ass-kickin is what I hear....

[wi3dzmin]

65 here and sunny and I seriously doubt winter is coming this way... somewhere I hear credit card people giggling... and this is the first time I've been able to look at the interweb all freaking day since the morning... what others said, one pow run is more than I'll have in a while.... screw you hippies.

[Hutch]

Ice - drinking again yet?

[skifishbum]

Dude you need a chaperone I will be by after work around 4:20. Tomarrow we skin for turns after a couple hours up you'll slay that shit down Oh and Mr Murderface "worthless w/out pics" is a term that comes to mind but thanks for your input. Oh yeah iceman I'm sure its your gear nothing a full tune can't fix

[altachic]

My day has been so sick.

I am training 6 new hires at BC.com. from 9-5pm..you nerds that have gotten to ski today are lucky and I mean LUCKY.

Hope you feel better Ice.

[ill-advised strategy]

fuck it...sometimes you eat the bar, sometimes the bar eats you

[truth]

Ice, it happens man. Tomorrow will be better. If you're sticking around I arrive Friday.

It was sweeeeet. I'll be out tomorrow at lunch too. I was almost hoping my Lotus 120's had already arrived today. Tomorrow should be even better with more stuff opening and top to bottom riding. Having to download ate up almost a half hour of my long lunch. I guess I shouldn't complain though.
