Did I miss something? You're a smoker, you're eligible now. Get your vaccine!

@Zonked is a way better skier than you are. -
Yup, there are like 3 sets in a row, with plenty of places to hide. If you ever take 248 to Blue Mountain Drive, they painted a bunch (and some new spots, too) just east of Cherryville. Revenues must be down!

Don't forget about the St Lukes mid layer! -

I'll be there. Saturday looks to be pretty chilly with some higher winds (15-25mph). -
@mute1080 I got stopped in that same spot back in 2007. 73 in a 45 ... going uphill 😂. I saw him at the last second while I was half way through the vascar zone, and just kept my speed up, knowing it would take a while for that crown vic to climb up that hill. One problem I didn't account for, the school zone. It was like 2:38pm and I couldn't remember if the 15mph zone started at 2:30 or 2:45. Sure enough it was 2:30, I slowed down, and I was *almost* through the school zone and he finally came into view at the top of the hill. He wrote me for the full amount. Went to court, settled, and afterwards he said "if you didn't slow down for that school zone, I had no chance". It was a few days before I went to Telluride, too. I guess I better watch myself in the next two weeks.

Looks like sugar city on Sidewinder!

Was a very nice morning.

@saltyant he’s trying to tell you that if you ask for advice, don’t just ignore it, like you normally do, because you think you know best. @GSSucks lived there. Listen to him.

Awesome food as always by Chef @enjoralas. Snow was meh.

Maybe you'll get a season pass one day!

Ramrod was a great trail!

In continuing the EPIC theme from last weekend, I stopped at Roundtop on my way home from a work trip to DC. Figured it was only a few minutes off of 15, I might as well make some turns as I’ve never been there before. Arrived at 4:30ish, got a spot next to the lift and enjoyed some beautiful conditions. Snow was extremely grippy. Lift lines were nonexistent. Lighting wasn’t nearly as good as Blues. I skied for an hour, am currently enjoying a beer, and enjoying the beautiful evening.

@eaf is a freakin jerry for parking at the top. -
He’s being very selfish!!!

Correct. They don’t interfere with your binders at all.

You bought the 100mm ones, right?

I had the honor of skiing a run on @GSSucks S2P1 skis. Extremely impressed that he was able to make those in his basement/garage. They ski like skis, and perfectly matched my kit. Couple more tweaks and he'll be ready to make a pro model for me...rocket ships and all.

Belt Parkway I believe.

Hunter liftees were rigorously enforcing masks today. If your nose was showing, you got called out.

Where was @Ski2Live Live2Ski ?! Didn’t see him out there.

EPIC day at Hunter w/ @GSSucks and @Justo8484. @GSSucks caught up with me somewhere on 87 and arrived at Hunter ~6:50am. Geared up started our skin right as the sun was coming up. This was my first real skin adventure, as my Jacobsburg State Park adventure with @toast21602, @mbike-ski, and @Mixilplix was more to test the gear, and practice changing the skis from uphill to downhill, etc. It was low 20s when we started with a nice breeze which helped regulate body temps. The alpenglow was spot on as we headed up hill. It's a ~1.75 mile tour with 1600ft-ish of gain (I think) and it took us about 50ish minutes with a few stops to adjust venting, take pics, etc. Pretty efficient method to travel uphill. Gear test was pretty successful I thought. We were back down at the car a little after 8 to meet up with @Justo8484, change into dryer clothing, and head back out for a day shredding the gnar. First few runs were 10/10 awesome groomers but lines started to form and stuff got more scraped off. Skied until about 1:30pm with a beer stop somewhere in the middle. Well worth the drive to ski some nice conditions, fast runs, and get a little uphill practice in. TFTI @GSSucks.

I've always found the claims that Hestra gloves will last 10 years to be bullshit.

So glad that shit is gone.
