two_ravens Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Here they are, a portrait of longevity. These mittens are well into their 4th season (and 2nd roll of duct tape) so we’ll claim points now for their first three seasons. Mmmmmm! Rabbit, our official sniff tester, says they smell just like something died in there at least 3 years ago. :eek: Perfect corroboration!

Puddy Tat Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Here we are at the Hole Bagel, just 2 blocks from SkES House and right at the base of Snow King! Yummy, toasty bagels - the perfect lunch for a lazy day off![ATTACH]29338[/ATTACH] Love how you are wearing Track 225s with BTS to lunch on an 'off' day BTW your daily rub-in is so much better than the SES threads. Those yokels who went to Aspen really need to step up their reporting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two_ravens Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Love how you are wearing Track 225s with BTS to lunch on an 'off' day Raichles with BTS are our most favorite walking shoes - that's what we always wear when walking over to Snow King! :) This "report" is the best. I came up saturday morning but got hit with the "sickness" cause unknown. suddenly couldn't hold anything down, trouble focusing etc... took 5 hours to drive home. Maybe next weekend... Don, sorry you couldn't make it for SkES - hope to see you soon though! It's fun having another carver on the hill, and monoskis rock!!!

two_ravens Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 duct tape mitts and dogssouthern montucky and asspen are worlds apart Yeah, that duct tape on my mitts got me in trouble last year at ASSpen when the ticket office made a mistake and my ticket didn't work the last day. They kept looking at my mittens and trying to run me off for trying to 'scam' a 'free' ticket and were really unbelievably rude. They were pretty quiet when I came back a few minutes later with all my receipts, but weren't really any more polite...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Oh, happy day! We get our passes back, the lifts will be spinning again today, and it looks like there is an inch or so of fresh - let’s hope the groomers got that rolled down nicely. But wait! What’s going on out on the deck?!?!? Oh, my heck! It’s a perfectly carved 360!!!!! :biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yup, that’s just two_ravens showing off her ninja carving skills again. :rolleyes: Next time, of course, she’ll hire a professional videographer to record the event and rake in the mega points. :eplus2:;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarderboy Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) We get da picture(s). It's snowing pissloads out west. Glad da King remains open to host your legendary carvefeast this season. And congrats on the 360. Near perfect form. That conscientious edge maintenance really pays off... At the banquet, please say a word for us flake-starved spirits out on the southeastern hardboot'n frontier.. BB p.s. when you've recuped from SKES, please email me @ youngmrtbury at att dot net. got a potentially fun business preposition for ya Edited February 7, 2012 by boarderboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Looks like they groomed Cougar finally - the first time in a week. Looks good enough, but we’ll see how it carves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 The amped up carvers yell at some random passersby “Hey! We carve better than you!!!” Hmmm.... no one seems to be taking us seriously. That sounded so much more awesome when we practiced it in the bathroom mirror this morning......

two_ravens Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well, we make a few scratches in the lumpy groom on Cougar Lane 4 and then Holy Land. Pretty rough conditions in spots - might have been a few skids in there somewhere. :( We do worry about being able to find our boards on the rack after a little lunch break though - holy cow, how do we put up with all these crowds?????

two_ravens Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hmmm.... looks a little foggy on the hill this morning and it’s trying to spit snow. Still, the SkES crew is undaunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The carving crew gets fired up with a Radness Yell at the top of Lane 7. That’s right! Check us out!!! Wow, this is what we dream of - Lane 7 in hero conditions and no race course in our way, and yet...... the light is so flat you only know your board is on the snow by the sound it makes. :( Well, we’ll have a go at it anyway.

two_ravens Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 OK, we got in a few good turns, but then the snow snakes hiding in the flat light got us. It’s that deceptive light where you think you can see, until you get up to speed and realize a little too late that you can’t actually see anything. The only good news is we pulled off a nice Zero 2 Hero maneuver in the soft snow, but after that we started racking up the penalties like crazy. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two_ravens Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Oh, let me count the ways to lose points: pat the dog (we were trying to find the slope that we couldn’t see), left a side zip open and filled our pant leg with snow (man, I hate it when that happens!) and then we wiped out big time. At least we didn’t lose any duct tape...... Grrrr. With shoulder aching, pride bruised and eyes feeling strained, we decide to hang it up until night skiing. Maybe the visibility will be better with lights.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 The hill is pretty busy with after school racers in the evening, but at least we’ll be earning some extra points. The town looks kind of purty at night, don’t it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
