just called the shop letting them know I needed to commandeer my ski boot back for Saturday. The mounting of my new skis wasn't supposed to be done until 10/30. Without asking, they got my voice mail this morning and put me to the front of the qeue. My wife will be picking up my boot AND new skis tonight. I'm not sure if I'll use them on Saturday, don't really want to trash them on WROD, but it was still great to hear.



quiver pics to come this evening now that it is complete for 09/10

My plan of record is to sleep in Newry Friday night and ski the morning on Saturday until the whole world shows up. Skis and poles are in the GTI. My boot bag is almost ready to go with a day's worth of gear. I'm about a 9.5 right now.

I plan on leaving around 7AM and getting on the hill around 10:15. I'll be out a bit late on Friday night and the reports I've read so far is that the surface is better later in the morning. That obviously can change between now and Saturday.

Jones is off the scale now.

Had about 1/2 inch of snow on my grass when I got home from work today.

Snowed on and off all day.

WOW it's here. Hello 09/10 season!

Keep this up Steve and you'll be out skiing on frosted grass!

Ummmm...he already does that.

 

[riverc0il]

Nah. I generally have a 4-6" minimum depending on snow consistency and quality. I try to avoid grass skiing whenever possible. Though I have skied bare ground when forced.

Hmmmm...I recall a day a few years back on the Gulf of Slides trail...sledhaulingmedic and me took off our skis and started hiking back down long before you did. And that was at best small patches with dry bare ground between.

I admit I admire you for your persistence in making turns.

Too busy with school and I am training for a 5K at the end of Nov. About then, I'll be ready to switch seasons.

Okay today, but about 24hrs from now when I arrive up at my place at Mount Snow (with the token drive by of the snow on launch pad of course BEFORE I get to my place) the jones level will likely elevate exponentially

Then Saturday, even in the NCP, when I take my kids to the ski shop to get them their gear for the season and am suddenly surrounded by LOTS and LOTS of ski gear, that will likely really take it to maximum preseason jones level to the point where if there's even the slightest lull in the NCP Saturday PM, I'll probably put the NCP coats on the kids and convince my almost 4 and almost 6 year old that it time to hike launch pad and slide down the snow that will still hopefully be left!

Ha! You have me there. But that was because I hate down hiking more than I hate dirt skiing I wouldn't hike for only that type of skiing but I will certainly finish out a run before a down hike until there literally is no more snow... and then take one more turn as a "screw you" to mother nature for melting all the snow. :lol:

W,
Work(manifold/cat then suspension/shocks) on the SUV then we'll see what my situation looks like *and attitude feels like for early season skiing;-). Temps are pretty good here at night and can't be that bad up on the mountains...day temps are pretty nice...sun is warm, but doesn't feel like any major warmup immenent. Still don't have a powski for backcountry and would really like to try on the SuperBlasters(new HVL Lange w/walk-mode cuff --> at nearby shop...#24.5(my size)...)
