Sir your timing is impeccable

Day 2: Lincoln Peak Woke up to -8F. Van was probably 15-20F. Fired up propane.waited for warm up before change to ski gear. Lincoln was the plan and butts in chair by 8:30ish. Bluebird skis and no wind. Snow was still awesome. Skied until noon now heading home. Skied really really good today. Not as good as yesterday but still grate!

Ok , spur of moment trip when buddy calls with tricked out sprinter van wanting to chase storm north. Leave late Friday afternoon and white knuckle winds/ northern rides to Mt Lincoln base to park and blend in. Night temps are low single digits and 14”+ has fallen [emoji41]. We bagged Lincoln in favor of Ellen figuring crowds be less. Opening bell run was powder powder powder turns. Lined up for upper mountain lifts opening 15 min before load time. We were 6th chair (north ridge express) and hit exterminator. [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]face shots all the way down. V-tah!!!!! No skiing pics cause powder day and go go go. Woods skied awesom. Rolled to 3 pm and collapsed . Tonight will be even colder. So here are some dirt bag skier van pics

Offer her a Yoo-hoo.

Trump is >230

Any recent recon if they reseeded Barney’s?

The way this “winter” is going I hope blue is open a month from now. You had me with “Barney’s was shallow”

I like this. Hopefully will not have to use this expression this season again

Even with heavy squall Sunday afternoon could not cover up dirt coming through. My legs were cooked from weekend bumping. Went for run yesterday and looked like a 90 yo instead of my usual 75 yo shuffle. Bet they were awesome yesterday- was wishing I was there instead of running

Soooooo how was k?

Tale of two cities... Depends what time you skied

Just.... how????? Glad you are ok

Electric lettuce

Just curious, where does one find safety information if one did not travel with it. Is safety information readily available in JH?

March is gonna be huge!

Someone has to explain to me again how lazy got that washboard finish... Bumps while Uber deep actually skied pretty good

Steak tartare

Afternoon sun still on them when snow is at its softest. They used to be right when I started at blue 08/09. Can’t recall when they switched sides cause I was not a bumper then (Doug?). But basically they switched to act as speed control for for folks coming off of chute/midway

When it’s warm we do. But you can’t ski in bumps on Blue’s pavement on cold days. That said, since this “winter” is pretty weak - yeah to your comment. Except right side cause that is where they should be

Second time they seeded was just as bad as the first time. Learned Butkus

Supposed to seed small - skiers will then ski in the line. New groomer was seeding full sized monstrosities that basically was a series of cliff drops. So a well executed seeded line will be bumping fun within a few hours after seed. Blues monstrosities took days to ski in

Those black crows are badass

Do it

Apparently. Why drive to valley if no tinnies?
