I was almost going to drag the 207 Siderals out, perfect shape, picked from the Londonderry Transfer Station years ago....

they'll be in good hands....

Things really do have a way of working out...

Black line was the alternate venue but we already have two comps on black in Feb and also running the kids under red is awesome exposure for them and really fun spectating for everyone at the hill. I hope everyone will cheer on the little mini-mags-to-be come Saturday!

I'm not really sure why it's listed as such. I know they have races coming up on Tali later but I don't think they are this weekend. Clerical error, perhaps?

Aldo, PM me if you want more details and so we can arrange a handoff

Excellent edit, radam. Looks like a wonderful day.

**PlayItLeo** · 01-30-2015, 03:31 PM

Nice edit, indeed. Just noticed that you got a brief shot of me skiing under you at about 4 secs into the teaser clip.

Any reports on conditions today? 6"?

**MyNameIsAugustWest** · 01-30-2015, 05:28 PM

Just got here...about 3 inches in the driveway but the wind is howling. Some weather guessers calling for anothe 2-4" tonight but it will all be in the woods. Know where I'll be tomorrow.

**krp8128** · 01-30-2015, 05:41 PM

Almost 4" down here through the day, and I probably shoveled a little under 2" when I left this morning.

Damn cold out there tonight and still coming down, hope the wind holds off....

I'll be heading up early tomorrow morning. Looking forward to skiing with everyone.

Looking good! Just got up and there is a little more than a foot of light fluffy stuff on the deck, and it's snowing pretty hard. Tomorrow should be awesome.

**DRZ1050i** · 01-31-2015, 04:33 AM

Wish I was able to make it out there on Wed, but I got out there on Thurs.. yeah there were a couple icy patches, but it was still in real good condition overall. Found some untouched goodness over in the trees by Green Line, and some more over to the left of Slide of Hans. Followed that a little too far and ended up on the other side of those grey condos lol. Hiked back to black and everything was good. Was my first time at Magic this year, hopefully I'll see you peoples again soon!

Friday's refill was fantastic. Sweet, soft, quiet turns all afternoon. Met up with Goniff for a few runs and a beer apres in BLT (mmmm, beer).

Unfortunately, the pain in my right foot persists this morning and I would rather let it heal a bit more rather than risk injuring it further. Feels like it's just some bruising in the arch but not comfortable and I clearly need to remod the mod I made to the footbed so I don't experience this next time out. And I certainly don't feel like I'm missing out on the arctic blast today although I think Hickory is going to be good for anyone who gets after it.

**kokomas** · 01-31-2015, 05:59 AM

Getting some much needed house work done today, picking granite in Bridgeport. Am going to try to find some tasty brews too. Crush it everyone! And heal up quick GA

Gat your foot ready for Monday, says Nick

Didn't seem to slow you down yesterday. You were ripp'n the pow! Rest it up for Tuesday.

I didn't realize just how bad it was until I took the boot off. I really didn't think much of it yesterday once the initial stabbing/throbbing pain subsided, but I'm a little gimpy today. Hopefully swapping out one of the footbeds for a flat shim will relieve the pressure on the arch and all will be good.

Hope you found a guide. Good to finally meet you & take a run.

Today was outstanding. Everything's in, and if you choose your turns wisely they're very soft. Hope tomorrow night brings a nice refill.
