Skin lap at the resort this morning. 1 mile up. currently back at Barbs eating everything in the fridge. Going back to ski shortly with another friend of Barbs who snowboards. Already trying to get her to ditch that and throw on some skis.

@antman12I will be snowboarding this weekend so you can call off the intervention.....

Did you know how to dress for that adventure or did you quickly learn that a t-shirt and shorts are enough under your jacket and pants?

@antman12, please advise on the above nonsense

🎶 "If you.....want to buy your ticket....just go ahead now" Sorry I couldn't resist. Side note do the spin doctors have more than one song for a full on show?

We plan to ski Jay Fri, Sat, Sun. We’re boring like that. Even if we don’t meet up to ski much since we ski so mellow, we should all eat and drink alcohol beverages together a bit.

Why stand when you can sit and let your slippahs do the waiting?

i had some help from Barb, she had me ditch one upper layer before we started, and i was fine for the trip. As you know, zero degrees here and zero at home are 2 different things, so i constantly second guess myself out here anyways.

You're welcome and anytime!

Fixed-grip lifts only for today... for now.

I passed by the incident not to long after it happened so not exactly sure what happened to cause. Without getting into too much detail, from what I saw it didn’t look good at all. Hopefully the kid is alright. Saw the heli come in and get out of there quickly. Otherwise conditions were to be as expected. Sugar piles and some scraped off places. Still a rowdy and excellent shred tonight.

Had to pick up my board from the shop so I took a beer break

Says anyone with a lift ticket gets in to the concert. They also have pond skim that day. https://www.montagemountainresorts.com/mountainfest2022/

Guy next to me on the lift is calling the sugar powder. Stop

More than 1 plank is too many.

I gave him some layering tips 😉

Get better Barb!

Sorry to hear, hopefully you're back on skis soon

That bass with the trem is interesting...Really dig that vee with full binding....

Their bass player is really freaking good

Shit. I'm sorry Barb. Damn.

+++++VIBES+++++ to you Barb.

ouch sorry to hear this...

ha I'd been married 2 years when pocket full of kryponite was released,

I was 359 days old when little kids was released.

Thanks for making me feel really old.

I was in my prime at 5 years old when Little Miss came out.

If think if you want to be first, you should stand in line.

Yeah, saw a bunch of ol' timers at Alta, but they mostly just drop their skis and hang around talking. However, we were all waiting in line for a while and one of the friends showed up like 15 minutes before the open and just walked right up to the front with the other guys. That torqued a lot of people.

Thought it had to be, but didn’t want to ASSuME

I'll message you when it gets closer, probably do Jay Peak Friday and either Saturday or Sunday...I'd like to check out Saddleback that Saturday but it depends on conditions

I’m up at Lyndon 28Feb - 06mar. Skiing Burke/cannon weekdays and Jay on weekend(maybe Friday too). So yeah… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unless you really gotta drop a deuce Haha

I think you should start warming up to the idea thats not gonna happen for a 4th year.

Naaah. Gotta be there in person. If your standing off to the side talking or whatever that’s cool. But you can’t drop your skis and go inside or far away.

No such thing as too many skis, unless one of them is a pair of those rossis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't believe so? I didn't notice anything. Tonight will be too marginal and/or humid. Hopefully after this system rolls through and temps drop in the upcoming days.

I say BS...only exception is if nature calls but at Jackson hole I’ve seen people leave the line for 30-45 minutes to go inside and hangout and get a breakfast burrito and what not...nope. Indiggio I almost got my ass kicked by DJango from TGR back in 2009 when I got in the singles line in front of his gear. Now we’re buddies because he doesn’t remember.

It’s definitely the trees.

what a day. Started off by getting a ride to the mountain from Barbs neighbor in her suburban. Reminiscent of 7 dudes and gear for the ride to Jackson, since this time i had to sit in a childs car seat. It was snowing pretty good on the ride up, it let up just a little for opening but vis was really pretty low. Snow was lighter today, and did feel like there was more than the 5-6" that was on the snow stake. i did find where the snowstake is located, and its pretty low on the mountain, so that makes sense. i ran Paradise lift for some powder turns, then in and out of some trees, big powdery bumps, really beat myself up pretty good by 10:30 when i met Barb at East River, so taking a little leg break over by the umbrella bar was welcoming. after a few runs, we took lunch at the umbrella bar, since all of a sudden the sun came out. so things went from this, to this by lunch. That was pretty short lived, as we were sitting at the umbrella bar, the wind picked up, and in the distance you could see clouds rolling in, and when we were finished lunch, it went back to this. After lunch i ran some laps off the Silver Queen, vis on the trails was poor, trees were good, but my legs started telling me it was time to go. Once i got back to Barbs, it started just dumping when we took a walk up the street into town. some other random pics from today. Forecast is 8-16" overnight.

The trees out there seem double as big as the trees here

Whew, what a day! Snow cam showed about 4” overnight but it felt at least double that. Visibility was low so I headed down to East River and Dan went up to Paradise. We met up later and decided to do a few laps on the easy groomers off umbrella bar (although still lots of fresh there too). Snow was much lighter today and easier to navigate. At one point it was dumping so hard you could barely see. Then 20 min later the sun came out for a bit. Now back to cloudy and light snow. Supposed to snow all evening again. No action shots but the few pics I took. Dan still out skiing.

I can’t remember the last time I skied powder. First run I was all over the place and fell once. By run #2 I was sort of finding a rhythm, but going slow. After the 4th powder run my legs were feeling it and I didn’t want Dan to have to wait for me anymore so we split up. The snow got easier the more it tracked out but by then my legs were tired. Didn’t want to be all used up on day 1.

full of empties

Continuing the Indy adventure with Bolton on Sunday

I love how the indy pass has PASRs visiting new and exciting places, and writing TRs about them so others can read about said new and exciting places. The indy is out there fighting the good fight. Love that.
