Glad you made it up. I was hoping for one more day, but this weeks forecast sure looks meh (I don’t like skiing manky pow)

Cool fog highway pic. I would have probably been in touch if I didn’t get this cold/virus thing that’s going around

hey m27 good running into you yesterday, and *after* the weather rewarded the stubborn and the faithful.

before leaving for K the webcam image was a shocker. it was sunny at home, i wore a base layer under the pants but left anything with a hood or insulation at home. i wasn't buying it!
rutland was still warm and sunny but by access road temps were easily 10-degrees cooler, and place was damp and socked in.
this was the first non-beach-worthy day i'd been out since the ides of march.
by 3pm though the sun broke through - and with 5pm last chair there was time! there was still some nice cover on trails soon to lose their lift access.

Bumps on Downdraft look choice, well done staying late, but that’s never an issue for you bucket!

Nice weather at Jay yesterday but fuck me my bones must be getting brittle. 2' of air straight to gimp central. My wife is not impressed.



Going to be a long summer. Anyone want to buy a mountain bike (or a waterski)?

[buttahflake]

Oh no! Sorry to see that C.

[Brownski]

Sorry to see that. Is that the right clavicle? I broke mine the very first time I went skiing (at Jiminy)

That sucks. Been there. You'll heal fast!

[powbmps]

Much appreciated guys! Right side and I'm left-handed, so I've got that going for me. Broken both sides, but they were both over 30 years ago. Hopefully seeing the ortho tomorrow to come up with a plan (other than Advil and Tylenol).

Looking forward to more Killington pics.

[ex-powderbroker]

damn man, heal fast. late august and september are the best non-skiing months anyway.

Hah, we’re tied. I busted my left twice as a kid- in 2nd and 4th grades- then did the right in high school. Shit, I hope I’m not jinxing myself now. It’s been a long time since I broke a bone. Knock on wood.
heal quick

My dad always said you get hurt on your last run.

Damn sorry to hear PowBmps. Hope you heal up soon!

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Shit, that looks painful. Hope all the king's horses and all the king's men can piece you back together again. Vibes++++

[Self Jupiter]

Heal up powbmps, that’s rough

Ouch that sucks. When I broke mine, the fairly standard plate+screw surgery had me back to low-key activities in a week, was able to ski a month later. Don't think I biked much since I didn't have a fat bike then but probably could have. Lots of rehab/strengthening exercises were required to get me fully back to normal, but they also said my break was particularly bad.
There's another style procedure I heard about it one of the fluidride mtb videos a while back, you can check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmwpd3g25-0
It certainly sounds promising but I can only vouch for the plate+screw method (which was fine, but I'm lean and the screwheads can bother me on occasion still if I'm carrying a heavy pack or duffel).

Anyone have change for a nickel at Killington today?

Bummer about the bone breakage C, was hoping to see you smashing bumps at K this spring.

You should talk to this guy about what to do to get back in the game lorenzo-cleared-to-ride-in-warm-up

Speaking of K, wandered down for a visit last Saturday

After a couple of runs off the bubble, plate ice over the ground with a bit of loose "snow" here and there, I decided to take a look at the new lodge. Found the gang eating lunch, $25 burgers aren't their style but Rich said "Free" pass holder appreciation day lunch.



Glad the Q code didn't activate



Did some Braille Bump skiing in the thick fog. Believe it or not the guy on the left is a Level 3 instructor and quite entertaining to ski and chat with. Lurks here as he figured I was a Mag after seeing my Praxis



M bumping down the Star



Wouldn't be K without Kooks

This woman came in hot in front of the lodge and face planted behind us after hitting that dirt patch with a Din2 setting eject



Guy decked a tree trying to flash the narrow choke, BANG, Ouch! Took him a while to shake it off and get going again




What's Killington without a visit with Ronzoni in the 802 Bus



Off to RCAC for a Kasekrainer from Tilted Barn and a Green Heron IPA





Hit my bush target last Friday





Currently 47º bob under mostly clear skies 60% groom on Steins last night along with Fling

Headed to K in a while for a few hours of bumps and a hike or two

I had the plate and screws removed. It was a super quick and easy surgery. Definitely worth it for me. That hardware was super visible and constantly feeling it while showering or with a pack was annoying to me.

[ex-powderbroker]

real stunner of a day hope someone is getting after it

[cat in january]

Sugarloaf is free Monday if they stay open
