Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Felt good to get on the XC skis again!....Snow was pretty easy to break trail through....Could get a nice kick/glide once I looped around to my tracks....

Actually there is but water softener salt works too. I can use it in certain areas but other places turn into a muddy mess.

The snow that has fallen on top of everything around my house which is covered in ice, now brings "slippery" to a new level.

Yup. Tried taking the dog for a walk around the yard. 

Grass, fucking grass, was like a skating rink. The little bit of snow hides things really well. Hopefully the rain removes it. Tomorrow isn't looking so good.

Are you in the poconos? If so let me know if you need anything. Or come by if your heat is off.

Be positive if you’re off work either ski or sleep late. This wind will dry out the snow right lol

 

i feel like I shouldn’t work hard or much tomorrow cause I voted for Obama in 2008..and he never gave me free cell phone but only have afternoon appointment tomorrow and no mail or bank tomorrow which is a little less stuff to do

Windy as hell. I’m opting for a late afternoon session after the wind tapers off. I’m hedging my bets on most of the tourists being gone by then coupled with lack of crowds tonight due to schools being closed. We’ll see if it pays off.

So did anyone go to blue today?

Expand  

I did and almost made it a full two hours before soaking through. Snow was grate but had to constantly wipe (my goggles).

Lil Boo had camp and they had her out in rain for the entire 3 hours. Needless to say she wasn't happy.

I'm over the winters here. I cannot wait to GTF out of PA. Same crap all the time. Warm, followed by rain / ice,  followed by wind, followed by artic blast...rinse / repeat. Shits old.

Power is back on, i think it went back on around midnight.  so, i figured out why when the wind blew, there was always this weird banging noise, which whenever i heard it, i thought to myself what ever it is, it will self correct.  Turns out it was either the window shutter or downspout that got ripped off my house that was loose and making noise with the wind.  No more noise, i mean obviously since neither of them are attached to the house anymore.  Crazy windy though.
