I think the only person still regularly on here in the fifty to sixty year old age bracket is me... And I'm the token liberal... I add diversity.

In case you're missing my pics, I'm sitting in a hospital, missing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK3wjd3lXHQ I'm fine, it's my mom.

Today. I won't be able to post pics for a while. Family problems mean I have to fly to Denver tomorrow.

That's fine if you're made of money. http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Jackson-Wyoming/ http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Whitefish-Montana/

Wasn't feeling so great yesterday, so just getting around to posting this. Might go again tomorrow, depends on health. Typical crowd level at main lift.

No, go back a page. But, we have had a lot of fog this winter, it's been warm and I think that's what is causing it. And,of course, there's TON of pictures here: http://www.wmr-guide.com

Groomer day, but good cruising:

Unfortunately, it's as bad as Christmas. We are always popular with the Canadians anyway and President's Day lines up with their Family Day... or maybe it's Family Week. I bitch for a week. It's probably nothing like hitting Killington that week, but there are lines. Same issue with all the states bordering Western Canada.

Here's today's pic, but if you want to see what it was really like, click on over to Epic.

The mobile version drives me nuts...

Some old pics just to make Doug happy. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/773588_10151344648662488_431505380_o.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/736101_10151312908912488_242985505_o.jpg

I wouldn't know. It just drives me nuts with the trenches, you have to keep an eye out that you don't line up your skis into one of them and always cross them sort of at right angles.

I know I am always saying we don't have a lot of snowboarders. Well, we do have these guys...

I seem to have fixed the permissions problem from the earlier post...just need someone to remove the earlier posting for me. The second one has an extra pic.

Oddly, never saw anyone I knew all day except some uphill skiers. And yet it was fairly crowded for a Tuesday.

New URL's. East Rim: East Rim Face: Caribou Trees -- tree well territory: Hellroaring Basin Panorama: End of day on School Road:

Really??? I can see them. Just the last bunch or all of them? Oh, wait, I refreshed my screen and now I can't see them either. Hmmm.

I've got one new pair of skis. The other two pairs are still on active service, but each have over 140 days on them. If I had a job they'd have been replaced a couple seasons back. And that is the biggest difference between skiers and boarders, the income issue. I don't think it has anything to do with the sport itself. I could see a real decline in interest as you age to having to sit down and strap in at the beginning of every run, although there is a grandma here that does it, many of us would have to have a friend to have us up.

"When the visibility is bad, locals head for the trees." Nuff said. Ankle deep or more on the groomed runs:

I'd seen another article about that. http://travel.yahoo.com/ideas/snowboarding-losing-popularity--while-skiing-heats-up-200354126.html We have way more back country and tele skiers here than boarders, at least among locals. Snowboarders are mostly "paper ticket people".

Elephant's Graveyard today. No one was in this for some reason.... And another one from Good Med:

What I've heard about it is the lack of crowds at Alpine makes it ideal beginner territory. I think it can get pretty nuts at JF especially.

Sorry.

We were scheduled to get 1 inch, maybe three. GOT WAY more. Shin deep piles of fluff on the groomers, dense enough to stay down and not blow away, yet light enough to blast through without impacting your speed. NOTE: The video was filmed in the AM, it dumped all day long. Everything filled in with each lap.

And here a kid is about to be beamed up...
