Barb Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 I’m sure your daughter is a great belayer. My advice is, trust the rope. It’s hard to do when you are new to the sport. Hips into the wall, don’t stick your butt out. Try and use the power of your legs to push you up, not arms to pull you up. 3 Quote

Popular Post RidgeRacer Posted February 1 Author Popular Post Report Posted February 1 Day 3 Woke up to low pressure again on the tire. Loaded the ski gear in my daughter's car. Drove to discount tire at 830. My daughter picked me up soon after got to the mountain around 915 while blasting lil yachti, future, Kendrick and logic for stoke. The tire had a screw in it and they repaired it for free. So glad I did that before heading down 17 back to Phoenix. Another cloudless bluebird day. First run up the grand canyon express, left at the catwalk to find a nice surprise....they dropped the ropes on volcano for the first time this season. The trail itself is groomed but there's a chute off of volcano that is natural. They had a sign marked thin cover and this week's snow fall was waiting. Rode that a few times. also ran another unnamed ungroomed trail near volcano. So some new snow goodness early on. But the theme for today was the bluest of bluebird skiing and primarily soft fast groomers. Not quite as good as yesterday but still a beautiful fantastic ski day where I didn't want to leave but the legs were done. Posted up in Scottsdale now before heading out to eat. Done skiing but what a great few days. I feel really lucky that I came this week. Just hope things turn snowfall wise soon. 10 1 Quote

Super glad the snow worked out and you got some good turns in. 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 1 Author Report Posted February 1 @Barb I successfully climbed a 5.8. not bad for a first tine climber. Was scared as shit the first time up and down. Lol was fun but climbing definitely ain't skiing 3 1 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted March 6 Author Report Posted March 6 A foot over the last 3 days and 21 inches forecasted over the next 2 days. If MLB spring training didn’t turn Arizona into an absolute shitshow I’d probably be there. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 14 Author Report Posted March 14 Another 21 inches yesterday. Why am I here 3 Quote

I had an appointment at 9am couldn’t make it to JH and didn’t feel like going after work… I do want to visit Arizona snowbowl and Taos NM..can just fly into Phoenix and if I forget any toiletries pick em up at the Target by ASU campus before heading into the mountains. Great talent at the Silverthorne CO Target but I’m guessing Tempe/Phoenix/Scottsdale on another level. I might be the sweatiest guy they’ve ever seen lol STFU it’s a dry heat and you get sweaty from medium salsa you ding a ling have another safety break Edited March 14 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote
