Thanks for your posts! I thought it was just me. I'm just back 2 seasons after 30 years not skiing. The withdrawal this spring was just terrible. I felt like someone had died. :cry:

Last week we went to visit my inlaws in Florida and we rollerbladed and swam while we were there. That helped. 8)

I noticed in another thread that folks are keeping their skiis in their offices, I can't do that, too painful... :(

Just got in from skinning up Hunter Mtn...
Wanted to go the whole way but it started to snow... Big giant flakes all wet and stickey..

I havent set the skins up on the teleskis yet so I didnt attatch the skins to the tails...
It wasnt a problem until the fresh started to gum up the skins...

So I skied down from the middle station...

Still SOOOOOO much snow left....
sad...

Thats a great feeling to be the only one on the mountain. No noise except the snow under your sticks. :D

DMC,

I looked for you closing day @ Belleayre. I talked to Keith and asked him if you were there and he said you weren't.

There is still a lot of snow up @ Belleayre and I plan on hiking it either sunday or monday. Should be fun!

I was a little sad last weekend about the season nearing its end, but two days on the agenda this weekend. So I am back in the game. :D Come to Killington and or Sunday River this weekend and join the AZ folks. Details in the trips and events folder. I'll be at both places.

I played drums at a big outdoor party for about 5 hours the night before..
I could barely move that Sunday...

All my tele friends were there ripping it up...
