It's clear to me that the forum members are getting older......

Give them a lesson in manners by telling them they need to watch out for other people and yelling "bar" is not enough. Got a thread going on Epic about this as well.

Like your response better than what I was going to say.

I wish I could say I was there today, but a family emergency means I've had to fly to Denver for the week. Look what I'm missing!!!!

How are the boots? I'm sort of tempted to say you should've come here, but since I'm still in start up mode, I wouldn't have been ready to show a young tiger around anyway. Five more inches last night.

Not even a boot report.

Must not be brag-able.

Sort of surprised that he hasn't filed a trip report yet. Does Doug always handle that job for him?

Must have had a trip here. There's some guy on Epic looking to buy some.

Bright and breezy today.

I think the average non-holiday day is 2000. I know I've got that stat somewhere.. http://wmr-guide.com/tips.html#SkierVisits However, Presidents Week here is pretty bad as we are very popular with Canadians and they have a holiday week at the same time. Whereas you might expect crowds at Christmas, the impact to us of that February week is probably more than at other areas. In case you're wondering, no, I don't stand around waiting for a person to get out of the picture.. But I do mostly ski midweek: Sun, Mon, Tues OR Wed, Thurs, Fri.

Today. Finally starting to remember how to do this. Not ready to change to other skis yet, but my basics are feeling good.

Some of those areas, I've skied the apron below the cliffs. Needless to say, old Sib doesn't jump off cliffs. See the page on my site called Whitey's in my North Bowl section, also Evan's Heaven, and the Apron in Hellroaring Basin. I have done none of the double blacks, not do I have plans to. In addition, I have never done Back Nine, Fault 3, Connie's Coulee, Teepee (no one calls it that, it's Area 51), Marmot. Some other single blacks I might not get to every year, but have done them. I hope to get in Connie's Coulee this year. David Steele is a pro for ON3P. Zak is a friend on Facebook, a sometime co-worker with the Siblet, and one of her best buds. He is also one of the owners of Montana Ski Company, and his picture is on the sides of buildings in Seattle and buses in Minneapolis. Have heard of the third guy, but don't know a thing about him.

Old legs could only handle three runs today. Need some recuperation time.

We had The Right Fluff today. Was on my skinny skis and it was not an issue. Wish I had a few more days to get better before this showed up, though.

Good temps. We were up to that today.

I was actually overdressed today. Came home and had to dry my mittens and balaclava, and my unmentionables. Only light winds and the sun was out, so -4 was quite warm.

Just as a quick prediction, given that Whitefish Lake is already covered shore to shore with ice, the fog will be a lot less this season, yay! Last season was pretty bad.

Conditions are excellent, like mid January. Place is 100% open. Didn't ski a lot, will build slowly. But powder, no hard pack, no dirt, no grass, excellent dry quality conditions. Hell, it's been mostly zero and below, the best conditions for snow quality. Warming up a bit later in the week.

Skied today, but too lazy to post my own pic. Besides, tele is cool.

They just opened the lifts to the summit. Delayed due to -50 F wind chills.
