Yeah I was looking forward to hooking up. The more people I talk to about the injury the less likely it seems I'll be skiing again this year.

Just be patient and let it heal properly. Enjoy reliving the days you got in this year, and that way you'll have many future seasons worth of memories to come. Much better than pushing it too much and risk messing up more of your future skiing "career"

That really sucks. Guess you'll be looking forward to fishing season to keep your sanity.

I'll be OK. What I'm really worried about is my fathers operation tomorrow (triple bypass). It hasn't been a good week for my family.

Sorry , my dad that operation a few years ago, and his heart is much better, wish your dad and you luck and look foward to a speedy recovery for both of you.

Thanks Scotty.
:lol: Got it. I, for one, would not want to go to Rutland Regional, let alone Bennington Hospital, which are the closest ones.
Sorry about the recent misfortunes for you, man. Pop in some Greg Stump or Warren Miller, kick back, relax, and get better.

Bump.
Resorts in CO are notorious for closing down terrain in the "late season" (early April) due to dwindling numbers. Beaver Creek shut down half the mountain and most of the glades last season probably because it wasn't worth the man hours to patrol them and keep them open, even after an 8 inch storm. In this case I'm much more inclined to go exploring.

Ain't much of a big dump if there's still ropes up...

that or patrol is slow on the trail checks. Either way you are doing a service to your fellow skiers by checking on the snow condition.

Sometimes I like to do the mountain a courtesy by checking several times.

I urge some caution though. It is possible that while checking out closed terrain conditions for other skiers, you may encounter a different kind of "dump" all together, which was the case at last years summit when bvibert and I headed out into a closed Brackett Basin.

Seriously? I get #1 but that's just awkward.

and there is photgraphic evidence too. I think.
I don't think Brian or I took a photo. But, yup, someone left a nice Baby Ruth right in the middle of the lower traverse out to Can't Dog.

A couple of years ago we got a dumping - like 2 ft on October 29th into the 30th and we headed to Killington. Naturally, they had the Gondola running but the only open trails were those serviced by North Ridge Triple. However, we could see that there was good coverage and opted to try a run to the bottom. It was so much fun ducking the ropes that we never skied the North Ridge Triple. We did see a guy bite it on some rocks that were below surface. We actually skied runs that already had first tracks.
We too wanted to help out by thoroughly checking out the closed trails and pack it down for the next snowfall so they could open the trail sooner.
