aw shucks...

uh... i'm going to go out on a limb and probably jinx myself here but dumb question - did you shut the door before you tried to pull the key out? the bigger lockers also are more than 75 cents too... i've been getting lockers at least once a week for race/clinic/week night sessions over the last few years and haven't had a problem - last week i even foun $.75 in the locker ah shit i shoulda deleted this post im phuqued now...

damn cold but a great weekend. -14d when we left my cousins farm in silver lake lake saturday morning. on the hill by 9:15 to follow the sun aroun little whiteface then up to the summit before breaking around 11:30. run of the morning was upper skyward on the first wave of the summit chair opening. after lunch lapped the lookout mountain chair a few times on wilmington - not quite sure what the ice warning was all about? firm but edgable like every where else. sunday was a bit warmer, gotta love 20's with sun and snow showers all day. serious fun in the man made po on mountain run before hitting parrons and lookout mt to cover as much of the hill as we could. bumped into face4me from nschat - its always cool in a semi weird cyber way to stop for a breather and have someone ski up to you and ask if you post on line! a great trip, can't wait to get back when thers a little more snow. gotta love the greek peak discount - 2 tix for 60 beans woo hoo. i pussed out on the pix exept for a few obligatory tourist shots here: http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z112/mbike-ski/Whiteface%2010/?albumview=slideshow

way to kill it johnny style el numero uno!

nice ... a real "cali day"! i usually don't upgrade components until something wears out or breaks! disk brakes then fork would be the most noticible upgrade in terms of performance. depending on what type of riding you do the other thing would be clipless pedals/shoes if your not running them now and are doing xc/trail type stuff

there's some starbucks/ panera bread places around just off 22 if thats what your looking for - would be about 20-25 minutes fromt the mountain. also wegmans at 33/248 and 22/512 - i've taken my laptop there before just to get out of the house to get some work done. the 512 one has a mezzanine level thats pretty empty in afternoon and evenings i'd find it tough to really get anything done in the lodge. hotel lobbies work too. i'd do the wegmans and a late lunch...

gotta love the blue drama the ticket checkers were telling a story about another incident about someone flipping out on a little kid for cutting them off or something... mountain was dead last night, conditions were pretty good though, seemed like they blew lotsa snow - waaaaay betterer than tuesday night. nastar/raceway was fast and flowy and the bumps on barneys were primo, nightmare bumps were small but tight - couldn't find a rythm... was lookin for ya johhny style - everything ok?

hmmmm,its all good - like pizza and sex (and i mean with a partner jeff ) but last year there was no freeze/thaw until like febraury or so - i'll take that snow/weather at blue over this years any day

yea that snow was interesting on slalom skis to say the least! hopefully we'll catch a few runs saturday

pretty cool, found a lame one of me from last week. i thought i saw a flash...

wow...good stuff pc!

snow was great, set was fun, good seeing everyone again and nice meeting ya tarponhead! see yall next week

must've been epic...

hey RC, you guys doing the tuesday nights again? if so see ya there

you could always use dante licktenwaller again!

the bar...seriously. everyone boots up at the seating area right there. top lodge

bummer, sorry to hear that - wish i could commit but it just ain't working for me this year. you and brian may want to go up tonight, i'm sure you could find spots on a team...

not alot of help but nastarr glenn is in the same camp as last year - monday meetings, could be an alternate in the #7 spot

nice! junior and i are headed up in a few weeks

I'll send an email over to nastarr glenn too, he had expressed interest last year but was jammed up with monday night meetings

gonna hit mondays bc showing

glen plake is going to be doing commentary, very cool http://www.bcmountainresort.com/winter/custPage.aspx?id=71

if you need it i'd be interested in the 6 or 7th roster spot to do a few nights - i just can't commit to the 6 weeks this year baaaagh! there were plenty of guys ripping on on twins last year

shit dats deep

went up wednesday afternoon to meet up with another family at the new digs. woke up thursday morning to 2" fresh snow and steday continuing snowfall. open trails were in great shape and poached a few wood shots as well. cover in the trees was a little thin maybe 6-10 but a few knee deep shots in spots - just enough to cover lots of lurking snow snakes. new years eve was cool with a decent buffet at the base lodge, torchlight parade, kick ass fireworks, some sammy winters and a big fat ashton. back to the hotel lobby to toast in the new year with champagne served by the owner/builder himself - great hands on kinda guy new years day more of the same for a total of about 6" or so for the weekend. ski'd solo from 8:30 until bout 10 when my kids texted me they were on there way over. ended up running boot deep leftovers on the elysion mini bumps for a few before hooking up with everyone and heading over to mars #5. my buddy was poaching the woods there and said there was even better cover than ronnies. skiid til about 2 then headed over for my xmas present from mrs snobunski - a facial and massage! a few cell phone pics: looked a little breezysaturday morning so i headed into the woods for a little xc before checking out stayed ahead of the groomer for a while until my loop back gettin my glide on the fresh cord can't wait to get back up
