Well we saw Silas at JH, even on snow but he had no skis on.
So I say Silas, grab your gear let's go! Next time I hear from
him, he's in town doing yoga and wants to know where the
after party is going to be:-) it was at the Mangy Moose, Silas.

Perhaps it was Silas who walked-out the door of the Moose with its namesake entryway carpet?

The suspect is a white male, approximately 35 to 45 years of age. He is mostly bald and clean-shaven.

I was there that evening and walked on the Mangy carpet.

Last year this time he turned down multiple offers of indoors beds across the mountain west in favor of foggy Tercel windows

will they pass the lightness test?
If over 2lbs I'm not sure he'd give a passing grade.

Shook hands with the Wildman this AM in Lot 4, but his Tercel was nowhere to be found come time for afternoon apres.

Probably for the best as the late morning warmup did a number on the mid-mountain.

I saw Silas this morning but did not have the chance to ski with him. He was departing the shuttle at Silver Fir, I was loading my gear into my car to head to Alpental. Must be some sort of displacement principle at work...

Nonetheless, he chided me for choosing ride-on/ride-off laps in the bottomless schmoo of Silver Fir over what was assuredly better conditions in the Alpental valley. I just didn't have any more standing around in line left in me...

Skied a few feet with him at Silver Fir yesterday and also rode the chair with him. The early morning's fun in the untracked and semi-tracked at Alpental w/o the aid of Vitamin I was clearly taking its toll on his bum knee by early afternoon when the fog finally started lifting a little from the top of Central.

I enjoyed two chair rides and skied two runs at Mission Ridge chair one with Silas yesterday at the WWSRA Demo. He displayed his PH D in Verbosity regarding how fast he had to go to get his 130 FLEX Demo boots to make his skis turn.
