Stoking the Stoke. Backside opened today. Locals reporting unexpected 4 inches of Powder today. :-D

That's significantly less shiney than it was last year. I'm jealous.

 

[Skimaine]

On way!

Any plans for pre-summit beverage check on Thursday? Rack? Inn? Bag? :grin:

We just grabbed food at the bag. May head down for some drinks at the bar in the hotel in a bit.

Its one million times better than last year.

Please be hungover, it's the only way my old decrepit body can keep up with you!

I have a camp about 40 minutes away. I usually catch the NOAA weather in the morning then decide what time to head over. It's been rather icy lately, with the exception of the 5" of snow the other day. I'm sure by now it's been skied off and the ice has returned :-(

Why don't we say 10AM at Whiffletree Quad? I have an obnoxious peacock blue coat, blue helmet, black pants and either green Atomic or maroon Volkl tele skis.

Any chance we can make that 10am at the top of king pine instead?

I'll look like the guy in my avatar; orange pants, black or black/grey jacket, white helmet, and brownish Fischer Watea skis.

One BILLION times better. The little bit of trees we skied today which are hardly off the beaten path were fantastic!

I repeat: you guys suck.

Fantastic as in boot to shin deep with no worry about hitting anything nasty. Base is deep. Surface is soft.

[TeleGrrrl]

I'm at my cottage now. I'll head over to KPB probably 10-10:30ish. I'll just look for your orange pants, can't see how I could miss those! I have a builder stopping by in the morning to look at my roof. My schedule is contingent upon his. My usual pattern is KPB, Brackett Basin if the snow looks good,. I like the first glade. Then runs down Haulback, Widowmaker and Ramdown.

Bag lunch in KP room

Then run from the top or snowfields. Head to SuperQuad to finish out day if no crowds, otherwise back to KPB or Spillway.

Happy Hour at the Bag starts at 3pm.

Sorry we missed you. We ended up getting pretty lost in bracket basin and had to do a bit of hiking to get back out. By the time we made it back to king pine it was after 11...

Man I yard saled it twice on that second kicker. The first run of the day on Saturday.

Later in the afternoon I did it again, only that time the brake on my ski failed and the ski went flying off the trail under the superquad line. Luckily it stopped on some shrubs before diving down the river. :-o
