Ski Posted April 14, 2007 Report Posted April 14, 2007 I hit BB for a while this afternoon, but when I got home Ty was really upset that I didn't take her. So I grabbed some bamboo for gates and took her over to our ski hill for some hiking... It was amazing how much snow we still have, considering the late start and lack of snow made. These temps have preserved coverage almost edge to edge on one of the intermediate slopes, as well as decent coverage on the main slope, except at the very bottom. I've been hiking the main slope for weeks, but haven't bothered with the other slopes until today. Hopefully, we'll get some ice then a changeover to snow from this storm and we'll have snow until May... Anyway, we set one little course on an intermediate, then set another on the main slope... A really good day... Quote
Ski Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Posted April 14, 2007 Yeah, I was tired to begin with after skiing and didn't want to hear any sh*t about carrying her, either... Quote

Ski Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Posted April 15, 2007 Yeah, but I keep driving past Sno and think Tuesday could be worth risking a trespassing charge. Quote

Ski Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Posted April 15, 2007 IDK, but I hope it was good. Except for when they increased the minimum pole size for FIS, those things never go on sale and you can never get any good deals. Quote
Ski Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Posted April 15, 2007 It started at 3am as huge flakes, some the size of flat golf balls. They made a splattering sound hitting the deck. Then it went to sleet by 4am, followed by rain. I just got soaked hiking, but the rain is cold enough not to hurt the current snowpack. It's supposed to switch to snow later, but it doesn't feel like it. At this point, I'm mostly hoping for a few inches to give me a break from having to wipe off the oil after skiing. Quote
riderossi Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah, but I keep driving past Sno and think Tuesday could be worth risking a trespassing charge. Probably not the best of ideas ski, i'm pretty sure security up there this year are like hound dogs. I already know of one person that tried and was unsuccessful at it. Your best bet would probably be to have someone drop you off over at the top of phoebe and come back to pick you up when you are done, if security isn't sitting in the parking lot. Boomer is where all the good stuff is at anyway Quote
