mbike-ski

I renewed again since the were kind enough to defer Mrs SnoBunSki's until next year. Hopefully get more use out of it than this year year.

I like to do my reports in word or g docs, its only an issue if you cut and paste boomer, lol

wtf I thought errbody viewed on black screen mode?!

What do you see? It was supposed to be gray

Every year we do a ski weekend for Mrs SnoBunSki’s birthday, so even though she’s still on the IRL for the rest of the season recovering from rotator cuff surgery, we headed North early Friday morning. First stop was a lunch break and a few runs at Magic Mountain. I’m trying to get a little value out of my mostly unused Indy Pass - I think I’m down to around 33 bucks a run lol - and check out the Black Line lift that is finally up and running. My second ride up I spotted the rope drop on Talisman and lapped that a few times, fun corn with a little walk across a grass patch to get back out. It was fuckin’ blue bird! Got back on the road to Lake Bomoseen, a beautiful evening to light a fire to watch the sunset while we waited for the other couple we were skiing with to arrive. Saturday we ski’d Killington, overcast and temps in the low thirties, conditions were rough with sugar piles and ice after the week’s rain. I ski’d tele all day as one of the other skiers was a beginner, it was fun social skiing putting new root combos together and I didnt feel like I was missing much with the conditions. I thought about hitting the Killington-Pico traverse and checked out the entrance, it wasn’t roped but didn’t look inviting either so will save it for another time. Mrs S made the best of her time The forecast had changed from rain/mix to snow and it started coming down hard during apres. Sunday morning woke up to a coating of slush but at Pico they had reported 9”. Got there at opening to 10” or so of thiiiiick snow. Tracked out the lower mountain solo while waiting for the summit lift to spin. The heavy snow was a lot of work, took a quick break followed by a few more down low then got word that the summit lift had opened. The snow was a little better up high, one of my favorite trails anywhere is Summit Glades and lapped that until my legs were cooked. The intermittent wet snow and sleet changed to full on nice snow after lunch. I went back out to do a few more summit runs with our friend but visibility was bad and I had no gas left in the tank so I ski’d right past the summit loading area to call it a day. Ended the trip with a nice dinner pit stop at Rip VanWinkle Brewing.

crazy, i heard corbetts has so much snow its almost ski in sans drop...

I dig sage, ski's like he rides and vice versa

A few weeks ago I won Platty vouchers at the Tele Colo movie and figured what better way to celebrate World Telemark Day on Tele Sunday. The ride up on the back roads yielded a mix of sun, clouds and fog along with a bald eagle snatching up a squirrel along root 42. Arrived to a socked in Platty with the sun trying to burn thrugh but it never quite happened, temps in the mid / upperer 50's. Started on the double and ended up lapping Blockbuster. Although the entrance was a little spicy there was good coverage once you got onto the trail. bumps (*) on the left side were soft and manageable. Short beer/water break and then rode the face off the triple, good coverage and mix of nice spring snow with some sticky man made here and there. Tele'd until lunch, chicken pesto wrap and ascension pils were bangin'. Legs were cooked after ten tele runs so clamped down the heels for another 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Nice day with a beverage stop as Catskill Brewery on the way home, love that place! * bumps photo credit lifted from @Harvey at nyskiblog - i couldn't find the sun lol

I wish they would rotate that and the hip at the bottom of central park about 15d CCW so us old skate /surf heads could hit side and lip slide it like a 1/4 pipe wave !

coverage was good, hopefully get there again

Ha no nothing fast about us, total elapsed time was 1:35

Fun afternoon lap and a half at Shawnee with pizza and brews at Shawnee Craft

I saw the first civvy ride on facebook with the kids, brave family lol

theres usually at least one big boarder/skier-cross race on NMDW each year Was a nice evening, with the exception of a few slick spots and some weird rolly polly areas the snow was pretty good. Finally got a run on sidewinder! Run of the night was far right main st. I saw @momskeeztoo on the way in, looked like you had a long day lol

that's awesome, it's on my bucket list for sure. Trying to parley it in with a trip to visit family is Pittsburgh but it hasnt worked out.

shit he looks pretty good, he's older than me lol

Afternoon track ski from the house some spots were deeeeeeeep! Crick crossing, nice day for a swim?! Close, but not today motherfucker! #nevertakeyourskisoff beautiful afternoon!

last night was good, true packed powder and pretty smooth. Need some wax though, the natty snow is slow. Did 6 runs in exactly 1 hour which is a pretty good pace for me. headed over to stroudsburg to catch the Tele Colo movie and scored some Platty vouchers in the raffle

yesterday afternoon's flat light and variable surface had me skiing very spazzy, got better as the light came on and sun went down.

queen?!?!? I thought it was Wayne and Garth

I Need to to this soon for a change of scenery

Get caught in a landslide?

And take pictures of their faces when they see what an agile mofo you are on skis!

Last night they were blowing on upper main and starting to fire up fan guns on vista and midway when I left at 6:30 / 35d lol.

Anyone up tonight? May go up for a few and hit dead taco Tuesday in Easton after
