Expand At Piecasso living it up. Very attractive waitresses. Ordered a Coke, garlic knots and the stromboli with spicy meat. Once I get back to the hotel I'm doing nothing, maybe relax by the fire with a decaf coffee and read some Jack Reacher in between PASR posts and watching the snow. 1 1 Quote

Since I'm solo im worried about hitting a giant rock and getting injured and being buried until ski patrol digs me out in May. I know most people on here would be thrilled but that would suck for me.

Kept getting free refills. I wanted to run Main Street more but it was so damn windy and hard to see at the top of the mountain to get there. Quote

I wouldn't give my skis to anyone who didn't ask me that question. . Expand On 2/4/2018 at 9:25 PM, SallyCat said: What does that include? Because that price point usually includes a base grind and you don't want to do that to your new skis without a good reason (concavity, e.g.). Expand I'm just getting caught up on this thread, but I have to address these two points. Intermediates shouldn't care about bevels at tuning shops. It doesn't matter when you're not railing turns, and you're probably asking for the wrong bevel. There is nothing wrong with a base grind straight from the factory. I've done it. Most skis are not flat from the factory, and factory structure generally sucks. 1 Quote
saltyant Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) My runs for the day. Turns out yesterday I thought Hayride was a blue because I didn't actually do Hayride. Not sure what trail on but I think it was a blue that led into Hayride. Did it today and it was moderately difficult with moguls across. Edited February 7, 2018 by saltyant Quote

I plan be out of the hotel no later than 7:15 and will try to be in line at 4 Runner for 7:40 like you said. Today at breakfast both of my cheeks were stuffed with bread and I couldn't talk. Wish I could eat breakfast faster but couldn't chew efficiently enough. Maybe I'll just chug a bottle of maple syrup tomorrow. Edited February 8, 2018 by saltyant 1 Quote

I'm driving to K-ton tomorrow after Stowe. Might quit at 2 pm so I have time to take the Ben and Jerry's tour. Of course if I'm having fun I'll keep skiing. I like stupid touristy things like that and it's only $4. Quote

saltyant Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Posted February 8, 2018 Just overheard the hotel owner say people will be lining up at the 4 Runner by 7:15. Guess I'll be eating my fig newtons so I can get fresh. Quote

I only know 3 degree bevel from Atomic Jeff tuning my skis. Before that I had no clue and I skied for 15 years before AJeff was my tune guy. 1 Quote
