[romeo tango]

.... I always check first....

in ground school , they taught us to always
complete a walkaround of the aircraft before climbing in:
fuel leaks, control surfaces, tires, stray shit ....

Driving home last week and saw this fool clicking into his skis. Watched him ski down the paved road with a film of snow on it until he tried to check his speed. Lost a ski and body slammed to the deck. Limping down to collect the ejected ski.

I used to XC on less snow than that in SE Michigan. Not usually on pavement though. In Arizona I took a woman on a first date up a snow covered road in the Chiricahua Mtns. On the way down the soft snow had frozen hard and my friend was having a lot of trouble controlling speed. I had a full wax kit with me (this was in the days of wood skis and pine tarred bases( and applied some purple klister to her skis which worked great as a brake. When we got back to town she showed her appreciation for my ingenuity. I never did find out how she got the klister off of her skis. Maybe that's why we never had a second date.

A couple weeks ago I was riding the lift and saw a very rotund snowboarder plopped down on his ass on the snow. I watched as he tried to get up a half-dozen times, only to plop back down because he couldn't get his weight over his feet. He was right under the lift, obviously breathing hard and spent, and I felt sorry for him, so as I skied by I stopped quickly and reached out a hand and pulled him to his feet. He said, "Thanks man, you saved me five minutes." Considering he'd already been there ten minutes I thought that was good humor. I gave him a fist bump and went on my way.

I feel like that could easily be my son.

my brother and I used to try to get the chair swinging as much as we could on every lift ride at Bolton Valley and Sugarbush where we usually skied.
I obviously feel terrible now, knowing what I know. but nobody told us not to and we thought it was fun as hell. Now they have all those riblet signs

"I actually don't mind paying for parking"

^^ this is actually a pro move. I used to hike a mile, skate, take a bus, for 45 minutes; but you know what, that $12 with a local's card and I can literally walk across the street, pop the tailgate, pee in the structure, and crack a beer. Priceless.

I hear ya, it's a valid point for many areas. For context this was @ flatboat with free parking that offers the above or at worst another lot that's a <5 min shuttle ride to the base.

Sticking out past all the other cars isn't enough?

I think that's why someone put the cone on top. Try and keep up.

The stranger next to you just before everyone gets off the lift: "You going right or left?"

"Straight asshole, just go straight"

With my dyslexia, it is a worthless question.
Just point.

"Yes, but I'm not telling. It will be a surprise."

That's like a big thing now with the kids. No poles. Watched five young ladies get on a six pack today doing that. I think they were the cool girls, if I remember high school well.

Lucky one there, you came this ---> <--- close to a parole violation. Phew!

I've pulled down more than a few people that turned across my tails before we even got to a point where you could go left or right.

I spent some time while waiting for my burrito trying to unpack this.

My daughter likes to say, just as the lift is about to be at the top, “I’m going right, who’s going left with me?” Or vice versa.

I’m still confused whether the one she means is the first or second one. But regardless, it gets some pretty funny puzzled looks.

I was asked by a young couple on the chair yesterday how moguls were formed, I thought it was some smart ass comment until I looked at them and sure enough, legit question. I left them dumbfounded when I said we all formed them (pointing to my buddies on the chair).
