It's remarkable how "management" continues to feed the flames of this PR nightmare. This will certainly be in the text books of how not to handle a PR situation.

It'll be a miracle if I get in a day before Christmas. I've come to the realization that the next two seasons are going to suck for me. Oh well.

I guess the first question to ask is "Why?" Many areas have fairly significant commitments to be "Ambassadors" (or what evever tehy choose to call them. Much of the time, you are working, not just skiing. Some resorts, it can be an OK deal, if they are generous and you can get family tickets...

Cannon sounds like a plan. With all the talk of NCP hear in MA, I don't know how many are going to head North this weekend. I suspect it will not be ober busy.

I have a pair of Volkl Kuro's, which, aside from being absurdly wide, are rockered. When it comes to something as firm as what us Easterners would consider "Packed Powder", their width is beyond fat, they're morbidly obese. These are my only experience on rockered skis, so the width makes it...

11? These go to 13! Volkl Kuro

Granted, I carry a little more baggage than I used too, but I'm with you. I had 132 under foot and had to get in the back seat to bring the tips up enough for a face shot. I realize so folks are "quiver impaired".

No understatement here, it was the best East Coast Ski day for me and really one of the top three anywhere. (That being said, I wish it came in a season that I had more days in on real terrain...damn I miss being able to get 30 days a year in at Magic.) Even late in the day, upper Black was...

I spent so much time in the white room, Housekeeping came in to change the sheets! Frankly, I haven't had much to post about. Most of my ski life has been endless groomers @ "The Crotch". Today was a notable exception. Great to meet Roark and Bill, and always a pleasure to see Riv.

It was pushing 30" at the end of the day. I had to clear 14" off my truck when I left. Red Line (the closed section) avalanched: Full depth the with of the trail. Need I say more? (Yes, I'll try to get the picture up.) My biggest mistake was taking Trick at Sweep: Not enough pitch to keep...

"It's the only way"

This one may bring me over to my old home. Time to go pack the Sledhauler-hauler!

Could be Tuck, but this has been an odd season for me. I'll leave it a little broader... somewhere on the Presi's

Just got word that the Red Chair is spinning. They have an appointment fo 08:00 with the lift inspector tomorrow, all should be go. Woo HOOOOOOOOO!

Onset had a Bubble chair. (I think Gore did too?) Burke's Poma takes a turn about 2/3's up The summit T's at Cannon were made going up almost as exciting as skiing down. I think Haystack's transfer lift was also chain drive. Mount Sunapee use to have one lift cross over another. Angel Fire...

Magic's black chair is quite unique. It spins CCW, yet the line forms on the skier's right (on the return side). You go under the return line to get to the loading area. The first tower is only on the uphill side to hold the haulrope down. I'm guessing Pohlig only made CCW drives. It would...

Oddly enough, I was on the phone with a couple of friends from the Magic patrol when the lift went down. I did not get the scoop on what exactly broke. It did sound like the ops guys were expecting a busy day today but expect to have it back up for the weekend.

Yes, a shameless rip off of the thread http://Things you say after wiping out What's the funniest thing someone has said after you crashed. For me, it was about three seasons ago at K-mart. It was January and the surface was good, but the base depth was still a little thin. I came down...

Saddleback, with a runner up to Dartmouth. SR has to be amongst the worst not mentioned yet.

Sounds like it rocked. GD, I miss being there every week. I'll be up Friday and Saturday, although it looks lke I won't get a ton of runs in, but, what the heck. It's all good.
