And at triple the price. First thing a good storeroom does when a new machine is purchased is to alternate source the spare parts.

Not feeling the love today. Long lines, wind howling at top, patchy new blown snow mixed in with old snow. Old guy on the first quad chair up with me - had to let him take first run down Oaradise. Skis too sharp, don’t think I got all the warm wax off last night, can’t do a thing with my hair, coffee was too weak. 4 runs, called it a day 9:45. Paradise was OK. Try again tomorrow.

Way back I had a Motorola Krzr that I was doing a mod to and I bricked it. Wasn’t happy, live and learn.

That’s about what I get with my iPhone 6. Apple gluing the battery to the back case with double stick tape is a real pain. Fortunately before I did it I discharged the battery because I broke the battery up pretty badly getting it out. What makes it worse, was that the battery I put in from Amazon wasn’t much better than the one I took out. So I had to put in another one got from Bulbs and Batteries.

Discovery was a great mountain. Nice locals feel. Backside had some interesting looking stuff in a wooded bowl. https://webcam.skidiscovery.com/camimages/current.jpg Just off the parking area.

Nice picture of my Jeep. Wife took the Pilot to get our puppy snipped. Traumatic.

Surprised at how nice it was. A couple patches of ice near the top of sidewinder, but everything else had good cover. Main Street skied pretty evenly all the way down. Nearly got up close and personal with a boarder on Switchback that decided to cross the slope without looking uphill. A lot of little kids out when I left at 10:30.

Going to need a second replacement battery for my iphone 6 pretty soon.

Crazy Russian Hacker on Facebook has a video of sampling Durian.

Is it March already?

Another great day skiing, the slopes were in good shape, but not super like Monday. Challenge was a little marbley after a little bit. Razors top section was a little patchy with firm and soft spots, But once you’ve got down to Razorback it was nice and consistent. The west side slopes were a little soft but fun when I got over there. I put some yellow hydrocarbon wax on last night and it helped when things warmed up. Fresh edges helped on razors. No lines at all today, hopefully things will stay like the rest of the season. Got down to 32° last night, but were in for a couple of warm nights. Hopefully below freezing again on Friday night. Took a couple lifts up with BenM, nice to catch up on things.

It is pretty convenient.

Probably switch from Icon to Epix and ski JF as my local mountain if that happens.

No! Jack Frost did that to me with their over 65 discount, cancelled it just when I became eligible. They figured they needed to give the discount to people just getting into the sport, which I can’t blame them for I guess.

My wife and I had some joint aches and were kind of lethargic the day after our second shop, but felt back to 100% the day after that.

Nice day, sidewinder was amazing first run. A few runs on the front 2 then over to Switchback, Widowmaker and Main Street (right side still in the shade was nice). Still no lines at 11 when I left. Going to try some red hydrocarbon wax for tomorrow.

Kind of like RVing, recreational kayaking and rail to trail biking last summer.

The hero route is straight down from the middle of the flat spot above the last drop on Rivershot with some jump turns. The normal person route is entering near the trees on the right side of Elevator (just at the end of the head wall split by the tower above the last drop on Rivershot) then once out in the middle of Elevator either making some turns to get to the bottom, or just looping down and using your speed to loop back to Rivershot where it starts the flat run out. There is a rocky ledge\rock that may be snow covered on the right side of the hero route, and below you on the normal route. Or you can ski elevator glade to the right of that head wall split by the tower into Elevator into the normal route. AFAIK.

Ouch.

Yeah, I skidded off some speed before I hit the soft stuff once I knew where it was, tried to keep my knees glued together too. First time down got the heart racing a little. Glad I was on the soft stuff when I did my face plant. Just came up from the basement getting the skis razor sharp if Challenge is the same tomorrow that it was today. Although we are supposed to have a low of 32 tonight, as opposed to 18 last night, so who knows what conditions will be.

I think you have to get your pass before opening day. I got my day pass card, load it up online and go right to the slope.

Was on the chair behind GSS and did Sidewinder first tracks. Spent most of my time on razors. Liked the contrast of smooth on top and light chopped up fluff on the bottom. Staying right could avoid the fluff. Took my first tumble of the year when I got distracted and caught an edge in the middle of the fluff. Consoled myself by some really nice runs down Challenge. Lines were ridiculous for a weekday, although the quad wrangler was letting 3 season pass pairs thru for one of the other lines, so it wasn’t too bad. Left about 12:30, and things were a little soft (except Challenge) but not slushy.

Noticed they had the fences up along Razors yesterday.
