Burke: 2/10/08 (Powder Day!)

[snowmonster]

You'd better have a fresh pair of legs......we're going to have some fun.....on and off piste.

Looking forward to it. Been skiing more trees this year -- and I got my start last year at Burke! Off-piste would be great too!

Andy, come on up!

Oh I'm sorry, off piste = the trees. But apres ski at the Bear Den is always fun...as in the upper lodge...

Wish I could, with V not skiing, just wouldn't feel right. But, you can meet up with us in Utah! :razz:

I see a repeat of Burke-a-palooza. Andy, bring the helmet cam...

Somehow off-piste registered in my mind as off the trail map. Anyway, I'll follow where you go.

Andy, good man. I still remember how Vee hiked Tucks with us last year and was a real trooper. I guess it's your turn to make the sacrifice. Utah will have to wait a bit for me.

Still plan on doing Tucks this year! Start working on TB for that.

TB will have to bring longer skis to Tucks.

Point taken. It is just a different angle I guess...I find that I don't turn the 170's quick enough all the time....

If you're looking for something light and quick turning, maybe try out a bump ski. At least you'd get some fore/aft stability with it being a normal length ski.

Were you at Burke as well?

Yep. I was on the look out for you and From_the_nek but didn't spot either one of you. I only had time for 6 runs so I wasn't standing around too much and only skied woods, so I was pretty difficult to spot. Even with only 6 runs it was still a very awesome day. I'll probably be back a couple more times for the $15 Sunday afternoon special, it is just too good of a deal to pass up. Especially seeing that Burke is probably my favorite mountain in the east as long as there is a good base.

BTW: I got some pretty good pics that I'll post the next time I go home. Man I'm starting to fall behind on the TR thing...

I will be up this weekend...but FYI they are not running the $15 dollar deal. If you were going to go, call the mountain and ask if they will give you the $30 student ticket....

Snowmonster is coming up as well. It will be a great weekend.
