I wish the Bracket Basin tour had worked out. I guess one guy met at the bottom of Whiffletree anyway (despite it being on wind hold) and got a private tour of the mountain. My question is; who was it?

Yeah, I talked to him while de-booting in the lodge yesterday... Guy named Mike from RI... He mentioned his forum name to me, but I forgot what it was... Torch or something similar maybe? He said he was pretty much a lurker.

He said it was him, Ethan and three ski patrol.

Hopefully next year with phase II open we can get it going again.

I don't think we could have even made it over there for 11 am. We weren't positioned well with the line at the Superquad. And dummy me left my phone in the condo that morning so I had no way to contact anybody. Der.... :roll: Would have liked the tour as well.

I guess they got to cut the quad line... which would have been huge for me!

Let's hear all about it Mike from RI!!

AZ stickers would be awesome. We've had some in the past, but nothing really widespread. It would be cool to get something like that going again. T-shirts too, but I don't think they'll be helpful out on the hill unless it's a nice spring day. I have one that I bought a long time ago, but it's getting pretty ratty. I'm not even sure if they're available for purchase anymore??

Race bibs? Or maybe big orange smocks like the blind skiers?

There were at least 2 imposters out there, though one was a snowboarder.

Tell me about it, everyone is copying my gnarly style. First it was the white helmet a few years ago, now it's the orange pants. Everyone used to comment how stupid, or girlie, my white helmet looked when I first got it. Now half the dudes on the mountain have one... :roll: :p

Maybe we could attach some of those orange flags they use on the back of snowmobiles to our helmets?? :idea:

That is exactly what I was thining earlier, except maybe on the back of each ski.

Or we could just all wear some of these: --> :dunce:

OT: What's up with "sagging" your ski pants? I saw at least 2 guys out there with ski pants literally around their knees.

It's mostly a park rat thing. They're fighting the system... or something...
