Not quite.. but it sure does start to feel that way after a few boney weeks.

Just got a message that control work is setting off all the alarms in the parking lot.

I hate work.

I'd like to say it's because I live right but then I realized I missed the last cycle due to being out of state and missed today due to being sick...huh.

Edit to add it's snowing sideways at 2,000 feet and I plan on feeling better tomorrow.

Alpental BC (as well as most pitches off chair 2) was gorgeous today, though only knoll 1 open. TR later.

[TahoePowShredder]

thenk yewwwww! i'll be up there bright and early tomorrow morning.
mofro & flow- assuming I'll see you up there? or call me tonight to make a plan. still gotta be back at work early- but i'll take 2.5 hours of skiing

[PeachesN'Cream]

i'll be there. might not make it right at 9 — depending on how traffic treats me.

should be a good-un! i'll pack the camera.

[Schmear]

Yeah, Alpental was great today. About six inches of granular powder-graupel. They opened the high traverse about 12:30, right when I had to leave. Things should fill in nicely tonight. Nash was getting really good around midday.

I'm on the express trip tomorrow. Only have two hours away from work so my ski time will be very limited (and Fast!)- 9am to 11am. Have to be back at work by 12pm.

[dk_alaskan]

trying to get out west tomorrow, xtal, baker or even closer for me, alpental

[spindrift]

You mean Stevens, where it ALWAYS is. <<SIGH>>

TR coming up in a little while...

[Zeedashbo]

telemetry showing over 10 inches at stevens today. helloooooo tomorrow. as much as i really want to hang with the cool kids at alpy, i'd be dumb to evade my home turf.

edit: looks like alpy is gonna get the rest of this one. oh well. plans laid already.

that's okay, we won't hold it against you besides, I know the zeedash stash holds better snow than anywhere else...

[Phill]

apparently stevens was great today. I wouldnt know since I have school all week. Even if I cant skip school I'd be an idiot to miss this snow, so I am leaving school at 1:50 tomorrow and arriving at alpy by 3 for 2 hours of skiing. Then home. Anybody gonna be upthere between 3-5 that wants to show me around?

[minddoc]

Got to leave at 1pm sorry
