The Good Thing About This Warm Spell

[skidbump]

Worked out well for me.I tweaked back last Saturday and had to take off a week to rest it.Probably have to work on mountain this weekend so by time i hit the slopes Tuesday all will be good.

Ski resort fight!



The on lookers will stand close to scoop up the $1000 bills flying everywhere.

Are we to expect some new Web site questioning SB's snow reporting now, a la Okemonotorius.com or whatever the hell that was...?

Sorry Tom. You left yourself wide open for that one...

So, Tuesday, I roll up to Sugarbush after reading on the Sugarbush web site that they are 111/111 and I get there only to be turned away and told that they are closed. I gotta be honest, I'm not buying what's being broadcast on their web site these days.

There is nothing good about this warm spell...it sucks and I'm glad it's almost over.

At least it had the courtesy to wait until I started my new job this past Monday to really screw the snow.

The one good thing about the warm spell is I got to go for a bike ride and rock climbing without the need of an ice axe. Oh, I thought we were doing that thing we do.

that's precisely why i have all resorts, NWS and state highway departments programmed into my cell phone. I call the ski phone from the car after I know the report is posted - most places it's about 7am. I know others rely on the web for most up to date info, but I never have, especially if there is a change brewing.....It also helps to inquire about tertiary issues like roads and wind holds, etc. that morning. Resorts have come a long way in the truth-in-reporting aspect. I think most have smartened up to the notion that setting expectations improperly can lead to bad vibes and a very quick broadcast to a million of your closest friends.... Not a slam dunk but it helps, besides, it keeps me entertained on the ride....
