  1. So because I’m keeping score: 1) fell and yard saled while trying to walk up stairs to lodge 2) tried to ski onto gondola with skis on 3) fell while standing in lift line 4) slid on your butt while holding skis to escape glades Did I miss anything?
  2. Starting the weekend early, should be there by 2 tomorrow
  3. It’s more complicated then just bad grooming. Snow making ops and grooming two different departments and let’s just say the left hand does not always know what the right hand is planning. But yeah, I get your point
  4. My meal plan in college was being a line cook. Just sayin [emoji41]
  5. Can I set up a teepee in your yard when I retire? Winters only I promise
  6. Ahhhh idk. Depends what you are trying to do. Bomb the zipper line on seeded bumps , especially troughed out mofos gets real interesting fast (I originally was going to say uniform bumps but any bumper will tell you the shapes of a seeded run are not uniform). Natural bumps by definition have no uniform pattern or shape and makes it interesting to flow down. My favorites are those shark fin shaped bumps. I feel like a park rat keeping a flat ski on top before dropping down. All good. Like pizza or sex
  7. This is for natural bumps and skied out glades. Zipper line on seeded bumps is a different critter
  8. Next time you run chin clip, from the top of the bump reach waaay forward and plant your pole and drop down and do a turn around your pole. Link that and you are in business. Maybe practice from a standing stop on top and after the turn stop, take a breath and do it again. And then stop and go play!
  9. It’s cool. Make sure you get a good hunk of bread to soak up all the sauce next time (white or red)
  10. Rotary motion. Off piste skiers do it all the time. Required technique in bumps. Carve carve carve = no soul
  11. Mussels are the baloney of the sea! $14 is a lot. Regardless, he is not on the coast and mussels are one of my faves. He’s skiing Stowe and eating well. One more 1/2 gold star for NaCl-ty. My guess is Moe Ghoul vibes rubbed off on him
  12. I love hiking toll rode during summer/fall. 10 mile round trip to summit. Plus you get to mess around on ski trails. There is a fall race that races to summit. Lots of people run that trail.
  13. ^^^^This NaCl-ty gets a gold star for switching it up and skiing Stowe on Thursday
  14. What’s the timing on this? I got a midday meeting I gotta run but thinking of doing the rider-of-the-storm immediately after
  15. Have a great trip. Unless your hotel serves free breakfast late. Then it’s ok to have a mediocre trip.
  16. Ridges, spines and ditches for the win today. Stoped at 2:45 when it started changing to sleet rain. Great day Indiggio and I wanted to poach DW SO bad...
  17. You get a foot at Stowe Wednesday then consider punting on K Thursday or plan on a short day at K thursday. Don’t waste a powder day by leaving early to maintain a itinerary. Enjoy And for fucks sake ski Bolton tomorrow
  18. Excellent snow making opportunities for the next week at night. Captain Obvious signing off
  19. Me 2. Summers also as the fly fishing is kick ass out there
