Was that Silas that got bucked, saw that as he tried to grab another non-paying attention skiers ski which snagged right after getting on the chair. Poor lefties then had to go and dig a hole for the non-paying attention skiers. I was right behind and that ski nearly impaled me as I straightened it out. Much heckling by the powdertechs over this snafu.

Wasn't me
but I did enjoy the ride down the GBtrees
and a lil sporty stuff upon the soft with ACH.

pretty much all the good things about yesterday with none of the stupid things about yesterday.
Warren Miller had many days like today but I bet he didn't fuck around on days like yesterday.

A good night of golfing
made interesting by the DOT
who decided it best to escort us down
routing westbound traffic into the eastbound lanes

I'd like to think that somewhere on high Stimbuck was smiling at the chaos unfolding below

Wideside was awesome last night and even over to central once we destroyed West in short time. 1st time I've driven the wrong way down I90, except for that time we did a 360 by accident.

Thank You to everyone in attendance @17BBI and a bigly cheer to the folks who participated in our raffle which raised $353.37.
100% of the Proceeds from our event will be given to the Alpental BARK program, helping to train avy dogs at the Pass to do great work.

Dude, you rock!! that is so cool. Sunday was too physical for me (re-injury threat too high) so it ended quickly after all the waiting. Then New Jersey the last 2 days. UGH. Next year we will make a vid of the event and raise more money for the great cause :-)

My first time driving down the West lanes December 26, 1996 after 40 inches fell that day from 6 AM to 8 PM. Took me 45 minutes to dig the 'ol car out, looked like those people last Sunday.

International was closed, Cante side closed. Only the Edelweiss bowl or west side if the chair was open. That being said what a great day. We were able to get to Airplane with a little effort and not ducking a rope. Had fresh lines with 10 " of fresh on a firm base all day. Sunday should be good in areas where the snow holds

Beautiful weather and much more mtn in play made for a very enjoyable Sunday.
Kudos to whoever decided the start of ski skool lunch break was a great time to open the upper gate

No skool next weekend (but kooks skiing uphill instead) - manageable uphill dog park sledding action on the return trail this afternoon

RANDONEE!!!
looks like sufferfest went off without a hitch, props to the dynafiddle sponsored athlete's crazy charge to the top of Denny Mt! spandex and skills can sure move uphill fast in the 'right' persons personal quiver. He wasn't a bad skier to boot!

some new and some old today, parking lots looked mid march.

PSA: Don't try the traverse from Roxoff / Gunbarrel back to the exit of Gala... unless you like picking your way through a long pile of rock hard, bowling ball-sized debris. You're much better off taking the bobsled run out through the woods to Lot 4, trust me

Faceshots were found this afternoon in Sharon's closest knolls.
Boy I sure think the back bowls are just great
when the only access is thru the upper gate

As for yesterday, Griff, I was sitting at home with a mild fever hacking up phlegm. Today I traded physical for mental health, coughing in my jacket's neck gaiter all day
