I'll stick to my 17.99 kincos with snow seal and do my best to keep my mitts out of the snow. I usually get 70+ days out of a pair. Shoulders can't take too much hand dragging anyway anymore Mario

Apologies to happy bob for the partial thread derailment, this is a serious topic worthy of a solid discussion without too much anger and passion, we are a small community here, but we are talking about porkroll here. This is serious $hit. mario

A pox on your house blasphemer...

Lovey used to average about 400” a year. Now it’s a struggle to get to 300”, I think they got 273” last year. It seems that there are less true pow days(12+”) now than ever, I picked up my 200 tanker in ‘19, and I have less than 5 pow days on it in over 120 possible riding days $hit aint right mario

Guns are set up on the bottom of home run, if the temps hold, it prolly won’t be too much longer, I’m thinking next week… mario

nice! Im worn out just watching!

I was wondering if you were planning on making the trek this year

Read his post, pm him for pics

Nice office!

Start with bodyweight, get through the entire cycle, then consider adding weight

Ease into them. Seriously, for as simple as they are, they're deceptively brutal and will wreck you for a bit if you go in full bore. Start with 2 sets of the minis, doubling your workload each time you do them until you get up to the prescribed 10 sets. Once you get to there, go ahead and follow the programming to the end. mario

https://www.backcountry.com/explore/train-eccentric-leg-strength-for-alpine-skiing?branch_used=true Interesting article from many years ago about eccentric and concentric training for the legs, and the development of the leg blaster. No need for any gym equipment. I've posted this before and have incorporated this into my early season training as well. They hurt.

A gentle reminder that it is, in fact, summertime. I'm sure you'll hear back from him as the days get shorter and cooler... Look a little closer at your Google results, that is the address for the previous owners Mario

He did quite a few times, he just liked to bitch about it...

Man, lots of memories there, watched 3 of them, and remembered each of those days. It was really cool seeing those 2 Olympians as grommets. Thanks for digging those up Andre, and thanks to Dustin for putting those together! Mario

Second iteration of my new Thirst, first one came out a little to flexy for me. On the second try, I decided to up the waist to 20cm, with a .324 flex index. Not quite flannel weather yet, it has finally dropped out of the upper 90's for the first time in nearly 2 weeks. 10 weeks til' snowmaking at the Luv...

Not right now, but going to the Levitt pavilion for a Free Calexico concert tomorrow night, with the last minute bonus addition of Devotchka. My honi did spring for the VIP tixs... Mario

Its been known to snow just about at any time up on high. Glad to see your are ruing several perfectly good walks, I have been taking some downtime hoping my front hip calms down before I start wrecking it again on the DJ and the Mtb. Enjoy your trip to the shore, are you by chance planning on driving your https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v3CzvQ9e_w&t=1s

Best powder day of the season... Oh, right, it ended 2 weeks ago Abasin looks like Vail right now

Psycho With all due respect of course...

I think I know that guy I might actually be that guy Mario

Well, at least I don't have to cover that now.... almost seemed like his first day bumping chairs, or he was just sick of his job. Wasn't too happy about having to let you go at the time, kinda made me a little sick, I hope nothing else pops up other than that sore heel. On a more cheerful note, our first and only day of slush surfing was a blast, as long as you didn't try to push too hard, which both you and I found out pretty quickly, thankfully without any real consequences Really warm in the lot to start, with temps pushing 40 before 8am. We started out as usual, heading to reload to start the day, but, alas, it was not running. After a quick reassess, we headed over to 4 and scrub for the first time of the season for some of us. It was already looser than a slurpee once we started down, so where one and done there, and headed back to 1 to start over. After hearing the annoying ARRRNGG of my old pass once again, and the lifty letting me go, we were off and running once again and on to reload. Snow was an interesting combo of boilerplate that rattled your teeth to dreamy surfy slush. We hit Bennets for a few, roulette for one choppy run, and then spent the remainder of the day just goofing around on the practice field making nice, easy fun turns until our legs gave out. good size crew out for closing day, with 007, DT, Slopestar, and Katie, and finally SVR playing on softies. Dennis, Ice, Ink, and myself stayed hardboots. We all witnessed a rare occurrence, Mr Positively Awesome blowing up and going down. There where a few of my trenches in the vicinity, that may or may not have played a part... All in all a good season, starting on Halloween, and ending on mothers day. It was fun to have MR. JFD join us for Thanksgiving, Carvin Marvin showing up a few times, with Kneel making a couple of appearances, and the finally, the man responsible for making this madness happen, The Sheriff. We picked up another rider along the way, J48, aka FNG. Crowds were not as horrible as last year, and the groom was outstanding all winter. A real powder day or 2 would have been nice, but you take what you can get. Big news from yesterday, Lance and Katie are back in the lineup for next season!! Thanks to all that I have had the pleasure of sharing chairs, runs, and beers with, we truly have something special going on at our lil' shit hole area, all you'se guys make it happen! Until next fall, Mario

Awesome end to the season today, a way more verbose summery pending Mario

Teach has a couple for sale, he wont be around on sunday, maybe you could make an arrangement with him, he's staying in summit I think mario

I know @Slopestar is looking for 2 on sunday, if you see Kevin or Hillary you could pass them off possibly?
