Post a pic of said PAWG when/if you get a chance …maybe Ullr will bless us with some phat powder dumpage. We will need it after this refreeze.

Winter is coming...



ETA: OBX was spinning around 2pm. My guess they were doing some maintenance with maybe a thought of opening up some terrain possible this weekend.

Snow boner!

Me and the boy, (ha he's 30) are gonna suffer thru a 4 (5?) lift Saturday at the McMeadows

‘‘Twas a fun day today. Looking forward to this storm front

Looked at the webcams a few minutes ago and saw a snocat heading down Outback Way. Hopefully you’ll get your wish. Would be a good thing as I expect a huge throng tomorrow.

[::: :::]

Gonna finally kick it off tomorrow.
I have low expectations and ambitions.
It’s been a shitty work week & I just want to get some turns, take it easy, enjoy being outside in the snow & don’t injure myself.
Then get back for Sunday to do it again. [edit: ah, fuk, have to be at home for my MIL’s 80th bday sunday…have fun Sunday, y’all]

Deep breaths, cold snow & hopefully no wind holds.

Don’t believe the numbers or the internet armchair experts. Skiing great out there, you’ll have a good time.

J & T & all my mountain friends, I hope y’all are finding your soft turns too

Looks like Ullr has granted Toadman’s wish, so long as the wind cooperates
Get sum!

Reminds me of the vanity plate on my new neighbor’s car. It’s some kind of speciality plate that only has 4 letters, she chose PAWG. Can’t wait to meet her. I was kicking myself for not stopping and grabbing a photo.

Oh man I’m dying over here.
But just as an FYI, the Share the Road plates (the one with the cyclist) are four letters and sequentially assigned. In 2019 the DMV gave my Subie “LSMQ,” and one random day at Waldo Lake years later I parked next to “LSMP” and talked to the owner, and we confirmed based on timing that they are sequential.
When I got my truck in 2021 it was assigned “MTBY.” Which is great because part of that truck’s responsibility is shuttling friends and family on mountain bikes. I wonder who got “MILF” earlier that year or if they just took it out of rotation.
Anyways the timing seems about right for some poor soul to randomly get PAWG assigned to them.
Also means they are about 2-3 years from some lucky person getting “SNOW!”

And on that topic, finally, bring it on! This was WP on Friday morning.

Just watched a guy put snow sock on the rear wheels of a front wheel drive car on the way to MHM. Dude was spinning out like crazy.

Oh, hell yeah did my wish come true. Rolled off of Pine about 20-30 seconds after the OBX sign flip. 5" never skied so deep.

But first was 3 laps on old Red. Lightish snow and nary a scrape from what was below.

Maybe 4-5 tracks on Boomerang when I dropped in.



Best day of the season. Low crowds from what I gathered was due to an accident somewhere on Century Drive.

[boar2m]

I'm waiting for NW to spin before I make a trip down south ;-)
Maybe by Thursday or is that wishful thinking?

[thefortrees]

Boy does it feel good to be storm skiing again. Face burns, legs tired, satisfied.

[Andyski]

Wind buff and cone lapz (no one cares) kept things sweet until late. Bach bus interacted with a civilian vehicle right at loge making the exit as much a crawl as the entry

[TBS]

^^^Wrecks going and coming. Chaos & Carnage! That’s why I like to ski during the week.

Sounds like a great time was had by Toadman - congrats mang, great timing.

Waiting to see photos from Tap

Also saw that CCX shit the bed at noon. People in line had to hike out, those on chairs sat there for like an hour. Somehow, Powdr didn’t mention that in their updates for the day.

Did you have to ride the bus back at the end of day or can you ski to the HRM lot?

[k2skier112]

HRM was upload only, bus to return
