I think I've lost my ability to detect sarcasm; averaging about three hours sleep a night. Full time job, part time job and looking for a job. Another fucking Skype interview tomorrow when I could have been at Blue by 2:30. I could have taken a phone call at Blue, in my car. But NO, it's 2018, and we have to Skype. Do you know why, in the history of telephone usage, nobody has ever looked into a mirror for an entire phone conversation? Because seeing your own stupid face when you're trying to talk to someone is a soul-crushing nightmare that's why. Anyhoo. Fresh powder for Salty; that's great. Wow I don't even have a laptop or tablet just iPhone so I can't do Skype just FaceTime. Much different than when I used to have a vlog and would talk to the computer through a webcam.

What's on deck snow wise, you ask? WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 5 to 8 inches are possible. * WHERE...The northern Adirondacks, the Champlain Valley, and north-central into northeastern Vermont. * WHEN...From Wednesday morning through late Wednesday night. The heaviest snow, with snowfall rates up to 1 inch per hour, is expected between 2 and 9 PM Wednesday. Snow should taper off during the pre-dawn hours Thursday.

Unless it's someone you care about and want to see, there is ZERO point to Skype/Facetime, or whatever hologram nightmare is coming next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ghoul for your words of encouragement. Hit me up if you decide to come back over the mountain Wednesday. Hope the snow doesn't stop me from getting to Killington Thursday Because I need to use my 2 nonrefundable passes. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll stop at McDoodles for a McMuffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltyant Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Rode the lift with a lady from Texas who said she was bored at Stowe because she normally skis Colorado. She said the mountains are too small. Bah this place is like Verbier compared to anything in PA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like skiing you'll ski anywhere...I was happy to be back at Blue after a week at Jackson hole but wish I could have got a extra 10-15mph on challenge and Main Street. Just not enough pitch or length for mad steezy speeds..unless it's icy death..ice is nice..speed is good..dress like an astronaut..JADIP!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wrapped up. Report to come later. He didn't tell me to quit skiing so that's cool. He told me I ask a lot of questions and called my skis "narrow", but he was a good dude and I think It was helpful. I'll post the video on YouTube that he took of me skiing but only if JF Dan or Toast text me to tell me my RTMs are rad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
