And there it is. :-) Thanks for the guidance! I'll commit to the heavy scrape and ski-off the remainder. Kind regards.

Hi All, Last Spring, I put a heavy coating of ski wax on for Summer/Autumn storage. I'd like NOT to have to scrape it all off and apply a fresh lighter coat. I'd like to try heating the storage coat so it's easily removed with a scraper, only leaving a light coat to scrub and buff, and be good...

Thanks for the pics - Beauts!! Gotta get to Pico this year......I'm completely auto-tuned to turn in to Bear Mountain or K-1 when I'm in that area. ((It's great to be able to pay the mortgage but I need some time off to enjoy the fresh fluff.))

Aha! Thanks, mystery solved. Completely slipped me as a possibility - - a coupla summers ago I drove to the top and walked around the eery abandoned Inn.

Agreed with Scruffy and Bistro. The initial investment is expensive - 3 piece Toko Ski Vise set $150 Quality Wax Iron $50 - $60 Quality (fine) edge file - $30 Quality Edge Angle Guide - $50 Bulk Organic All-Temp Purl Wax (No PFC's) - $20 Medium and Fine diamond whetstones - $30 Soft Red Gummy...

Thanks for the link, Scruffy. I've been meaning to search out a better angle guide device. My current one appears to slightly warp a bit once I tighten the file piece into place, so I question the actual angle of contact.

Seriously, I just couldn't believe I got that lucky. I watched a guy navigate the trees off Broomstick. It looked a little a tricky but he did it. I keep saying to myself, gotta catch a fresh snowfall for a full top to bottom run through Magician. [[sidenote: been noticing your sig line for a...

It absolutely was - near perfect in every way. $15 tix. No crowds. Varied terrain. The bartender in the lounge even asked to know my name so he could inquire later if I wanted any food with my beer out on the deck. I was near dumbstruck and it took me a few beats to say uhhh, thanks. :-)

But I suppose it can't be Superstar at K because it would seem logical that you'd see Ovation right next to it. Still a mystery.

Hi S-M-A-S, I just noticed noticed your 6 am 4/3 post in the other ski sub-forum this morning. Wish I had seen it early that day and responded. Would've been fun to meet up with an AZ'er. So I'm still trying to figure out what far-off trail is in the photo I posted. I'm looking at google maps...

Heh, sorry the finger <<grin>>.

Pic 1 -- Pretty sure that's the Superstar trail at Killington who knows how many miles to the N/NW. Pic 2 -- Top of Upper Magician; missed it this year. Hard to see, but there's alotta rocks waiting to reach out and grabbya.

Magic Mountain 4/3/2014 The last Throw-Back Thursday of the season - $15 tix - couldn't resist. My second visit to the place Where Skiing Still Has A Soul -- (lifted from the Events calendar chalkboard in the lodge). Arrived a few minutes before 9 am and found no more than a dozen folks sitting...
