Scuff Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Just got my pass. Looks like soft snow, but a lot more boardable terrain than opening day last year. Going out tonight on softies 5-7. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly One Year Ago taken from 11/27/09. hope to see everyone out sooner than later. the weather doesn't look so good for sunday and monday.

(bobd -- should've brought your board.) crossroads was great. the boxes were off the run. i saw ski racers craning necks on the chair. later around 10:30 or 11 AM they brought back a couple boxes. the ski patrollers cordoned off half the run. despite this it was still good to ride. milkrun was great. especially at noon. snow had softened and was just fun. it felt like things were coming together. i'm sure there will be hell to pay tomorrow morning. olympic had large rollers on skiers left. i went down it but didn't feel too comfortable with it. joe d. was cutting through it but he was on a shorter board. warners scuff, jessie, myself did warners. just once. snow was good. could've done a couple more... just didn't go back. all in all, a great day. All Glory jessie had a close run in with a skier. she related the details. it sounded scary. if i missed something, jessie will fill in the rest. i was going down crossroads and this skier came up to me. he was within arms reach. i yelled "Hey!!!". he didn't stop so i bombed down the hill to catch up to him. i got to him in the lift line and turned to meet him. i said "you know, you were way too close". the skier took off his helmet and goggles to face me and... <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfs1UaJdoQU?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfs1UaJdoQU?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> ... and the skier was very courteous and apologized [in monotone]. all glory to the hypnotoad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobD Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Wednesday. Milk run is in good condition with an inch or two of powder over good grooming. Crossroads is sketchy with a thin layer of icy snow over softer snow. I would guess conditions will be good tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebionicman Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think today was the definition of variable conditions. Powder, Ice, cord, soft groom and whatever else you could come up with. I should of brought the soft board but took the Coiler instead. Warners was good but that was about it. If they do a good job of grooming tonight Sunday should be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder, Ice, cord, soft groom and whatever else you could come up with. I should of brought the soft board but took the Coiler instead. Warners was good but that was about it. If they do a good job of grooming tonight Sunday should be great. didn't even THINK about hardboots. when i pulled into the parking lot at 8:45 am, there was a lot of people already there. i went directly to the ski school and got my ticket. when i walked pass the main office, there was a long line. i smirked and thought about telling people about the ski school but then how does that help me? glad today was sunny. if this day was gray, i dunno if i would've stayed much more. i just don't get thrilled in softies. crossroads skiers right has icy rollers. skiers left near the towers was really soft. the middle lane was slightly more firm than the left. milkrun the winrows (sp?) were noticeable. okay for softboots. that one run down the backside actually had powder. it wasn't groomed down. it was fun going down it but when you got close to the bottom near teachers pet lift, there were mounds of ice. it was nasty. warners the only run where carving was possible. erik was getting his carve-on. people started showing up. it was the one run where everyone wanted to go. the lift line was definitely shorter.

BobD Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Looks like we got ourselves a movement I like this perspective. Normally in these shots, I look like a little dweeb. Even Jesse looks as tall as Karl. Anyway, I was reminded of... ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
