I will have to bow down to the almighty dollar on this one. I will be hitting the Cat tomorrow. I'm 75% sure I will see you guys on Wednesday night. If not see you next Friday.

No worries. Have fun on the Off Stage bumps.

Greg, when was that pic taken? They look to have more of a bump shape since I was there last Friday.

I just got back to the office from Circuit City. If I say pretty please maybe the wife will let me take the new digi camera for my TR. I went with the Powershot A710-IS.

2/4. I lifted it from their gallery.

Nice on the A710-IS! I love my A700 but I wish it had image stabilization.

I was there on 2/2 when they looked a lot rougher. Looking forward to it tomorrow. I'd like to hit the bumps at Hunter later in the season when those soft hero bumps start showing up.

Greg, I'm friends with JimG. I'll be skiing tomorrow afternoon. What will you be wearing? I'll be with my 7 year old son.

I'll be there with Greg and I'll be wearing a blue and black jacket with black pants, red boots, and a dark gray/blackish helmet. I'll probably have blue framed goggles on too.

This is me in the same getup I'll be in tomorrow:

Same gear tomorrow, but I'm now in orange and black Nordica boots. We're starting when the lifts spin so I guess we'll probably go until 2 or 3 pm. Say hello if you see us.

Hoodlum, eh?

Make the effort to hook up with 180...if he's on alpine gear and not tele, he'll show you how bumps are supposed to be skiied.

Al, ski these guys hard.

I blew off going out...
A little too much work and a little too much cold outside :)

I'm hoping Al does hook up with Greg and B, and he's on alpine gear.

They haven't seen real bumping yet and Al is the man to school them.

We hooked up with him for a few runs. He sure does rip, as does his son! Unfortunately the bindings ripped out of one of my softer skis for the bumps and I was having too much trouble getting my GS skis to turn effectively in the bumps...

He did show us around a bit, which was nice..

It was a fun day up there. Took a few runs with Greg and Bvibert. The west side was VERY windy, leading to all the soft snow being blown off leaving very hard almost ice. I managed to go down on claires and just kept on sliding. Bvibert has a vid of me falling on the ice.

Fun day, hoping to make it to snow.
