Cannon outing Feb 11th (Northern Outing)

[Marc]

Bob, check your PM's.

Slight change of plans for me, I'll be driving up Saturday morning so I'll meet you all in the lodge.

I hopefully will have a Moto radio, don't know if they have 13 sub channels... but we'll see.



If anyone sees a ~6' skinny kid with a bright white Audi baseball cap and a red Karbon jacket wandering around looking for the AZ crowd, just ah.. throw something at me. Nothing too solid though.

 

[Vortex]

How about something wet then? got you pm and responded.

 

[ChileMass]

I'm in - it's a 2.5 hour drive for me, so I'll try to get there as early as I can, but might be closer to 9-10AM before you'll see me. I'll call Bob or Trailboss on cell when I am in range.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

CM

OVERHEARD ON THE CANNON RADIO THIS MORNING, 2/10/06 9:20 A.M. (QUOTING SKI PATROL):
"THE FRONT FIVE ARE PHENOMENAL".
RESPONSE: "NO, I THINK PROFILE IS THE PICK OF THE DAY".
Andyzee is here, ripping it up!

 

[Vortex]

Is Andy loaded with helmet cam?

 

[zowi420]

I doubt if he is loaded yet, it's pretty early. I don't know about the helmet cam, either.

 

[Vortex]

Well then. Tell him to get loaded, and the helmet cam is something not to miss.

This isn't the miss quote the person above you thread is it?


Anyway, What time you showing up tomorrow Zowi420?

 

[zowi420]

I will be there, between 8 and 8:30.
Light blue Karbon coat, blonde pigtails.

 

[Vortex]

Same time frame. I'll be the only one in an Az tye dye shirt I think.

 

[Marc]

...blonde pigtails.

h0t.

Bundle up

from NOAA (Franconia):
Saturday: Partly cloudy, with a high near 24. Wind chill values between -9 and 1. Light and variable wind.

 

[Vortex]

I said it would be frosty. That is frosty.

 

[thetrailboss]

The key phrase is "light and variable wind." Remember, windchill ONLY applies to exposed skin. :wink:

 

[Vortex]

Thankx Tb. I guess we will be ok then. Where is Marc with a wise a-- comment when you need it.

 

[thetrailboss]

WHOA!!!! WHAT A GREAT DAY! AWESOME TURNOUT! Thanks to those who came and for those that did not, you missed another STELLAR day on the slopes! :beer:

I'm no Trailboss but my feeling is no. But it's a start. If the forcast holds true and the snow stays light and dry then it will be blown off the open trails. Perhaps some nice drifting could be found on the sides of trails but my feeling is they will need a foot or more to open evrything but Tramline and the woods. And forcasts arent calling for Cannon to get the goods. Let's hope Mo' Nat shows the weather guys they still have a lot to learn and dump all the way to Canada!
I'll be skiing somewhere tomorrow, not sure where, then heading straight to Jay for a few days for a steady diet of tree skiing 8) !

[salida]

I couldn't make the outing today, due to responsibilities at school, but was thinking of going up tomorrow. I have a hunch they'll get a foot, maybe its time to start exploring again.

-Porter

Well, the snowmaking and groomed trails were good. Icy in places, usual places, but the snow will help them immensely. Skylight was really bad. Ice or soft, thin snow. That trail needs snow. 1-2 feet is needed for Mittersill to be decent.
