A post on the powder thread got me thinking... and questioning. Now lets assume that: -You are using the better equipment for the conditions -You are skiing said conditions in generally accepted good style and skill - sideslipping, long traverses, straight-lining, etc don't really count -Bumps...

Areas: Snoqualmie Central on 1/26 Alpental on 1/27 What a difference a day makes!! Headed to Central on Monday to get the jones out. It was packed powder all around with few "icy" spots. Leg chattering and hard and fast. Felt like home :D Yesterday headed up to Alpental after seeing that...

Anyone played? I played it a while ago and just "acquired" it yesterday to help pass the time on slow days. One hour of playing and I'm already almost bankrupt... looks like I'll have to reset.

Headed up to Camp Muir on Mt Rainier today... a few days too late for the best conditions but I still got to ski some stellar wind buff powder from 10Kft to 8Kft... pics:

So, I'm working at Snoqualmie Pass for today while waiting for my NOBO friend from CT to pass by on the PCT, and the higher peaks around (Denny mtn, where Alpental ski area is) have snow on them!! So anyway, I am psyched :)

Pretty impressive he could keep an edge Dv_Kuojv3rA

Ever since finding the skills park downtown I've been watching many platformed folk do their thing and it just got me thinking about trying it out. I have done some pretty big air with my clipless, but its a compromise with the pedal tension - tight enough and you'll stay clipped in even if you...

So, since I have moved here I have shamefully not made it to Whistler yet, I've done minimal mtb cuz I had to fix the thing, and had been trying to find somewhere to replace my weekday haunt like I had in the East. Well, trails here are different. I'm in the city and although there are plenty...

Yesterday decided to take a day trip up to Ruth Mtn in the North Cascades, right next door to Mt Shuksan and Baker ski resort. Weather was overcast and on a better day the mountain would've looked like this: http://www.summitpost.org/view_object.php?object_id=303775&context_id=150890 <4 miles...

Well, the West is a-calling and so this Sat I bit adieu to the Eastern mountains and start my drive to the state of WA (opposite of Washington DC, for those weak in Geography ;) ). I will definitively miss the North Eastern nature and character, but I don't think I'll be lacking in skiing...

...copied my t4t post I am very thankful for the weatherman some days. Forecasting? I have no idea about pressures, lows, temperatures, gradients, systems, degrees... too many fancy terms and too much schooling for this joe. Some things you just have to leave it to the pros. Like this recent...

I'm going to be up at Baxter for all of next week and figured I should check out the Loaf on the way back... heard so much good about it and it'll probably be the last chance to check it out in a while. Let me know if someone is going to be there then. I won't be checking a computer all next...

'06 Rossignol Z9s 170cm The top sheet is scratched up, but not too bad. There is a nice coreshot next to the edge (look at pic) that I partially filled with some epoxy. I haven't skied it in a while this season and needless to say, the ski could use a good tune. Has probably <20 days on them...

I'm planning on being at Hunter this Friday to do some working at the lodge and skipping out at times to take a few runs - at least during and hopefully some before lunch - I got meetings from 2pm on. Let me know if anyone will be around and would hook up for some turns.

Date Skied: 2/2/8 Resort or Ski Area: Sugarbush Conditions: thick granular, granular on crust, windpacked Started out on Paradise, fluffy bumps with icy backsides - the case on most of the mtn. Hit that, ripcord, and the grinder and then headed to Castlerock for a while. All were in the same...

Lazy... copied from T4T: Spent Sat at Okemo using a gift card I got (and found some fresh!)... Sunday I had some options - ice was the first but didn't find any takers last minute - I was resorted out and wanted to try out my new AT setup on a tour. With a thaw-a-coming I decided to hit the...

Date(s) Skied: 12/17 Resort or Ski Area: Stowe Conditions: Windy, packed powder, powder, wind packed, fluffy bumps, deep powder, tracked deep Trip Report: Woke up and there was less snow around my car than the previous night. People waiting around until around 9:30 and wind hold was lifted...

maps.live.com I can see my car!!! The bird's eye is not available everywhere yet, but it's pretty cool when it is and I'm sure they'll expand.
