That does suck. I was hoping for D so we could lap Ike if it was good... Oh well I'm sure there'll be plenty to keep us busy...

Sorry, just seemed big to me at first glance. I have a size 9.5 shoe size and my boots are 26.0 mondo. Each size goes up about 10 mm bsl. Not that crazy if I take a second to think about it instead just blurting out my first reaction. :dunce:

I wear a 26.0 mondo boot! I thought your BSL looked familiar... You're welcome to my Maries if you want. They're 165cm and have a 78mm waist. (They're also a women's specific twin tip. If you use them, I want to see lots of pictures :lol: )

What you've never seen a guy skiing on womens skis? All the guys I work with we demo all the lines in spring, mens and womens. I really like the K2 Luv Series...

Honestly, I don't really pay attention to other people's skis all that much. At least, not enough to notice the difference unless it was something that was highly obvious.

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
PRECIPITATION WILL LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. IN THE WAKE OF
THIS SYSTEM/COLD FRONT...COLDER AIR WILL BE USHERED INTO THE
REGION. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT SYSTEM WHICH WILL BE
MORE POTENT THEN THAT LAST COUPLE AS THE CLOSED LOW OVER THE
SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES OPENS AND HEADS EASTWARD. ALSO A NORTHERN
STREAM SHORT WAVE WILL FOLLOW ON ITS HEALS. EXPECTING LOW PRESSURE
TO BEGIN TO DEVELOP OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND GET GOING OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST. THE GFS IS THE STRONGEST AND CLOSEST TO THE COAST
WITH THE LOW PASSING JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND. THE 12Z ECMWF IS
SIMILAR BUT FAVORS A WEAKER LOW A BIT FARTHER TO THE SOUTH AND
THIS MAKES A DIFFERENCE. THE NAM KEEPS THE LOW EVEN FARTHER
OFFSHORE AND PRECIPITATION JUST GRAZING SOUTHERN HALF OF FORECAST.
RAN WITH A SOLUTION BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF WHICH BRINGS
MEASURABLE SNOW TO AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. AS STATED
EARLIER COLD AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE....LOOKING AT A SINGLE
PTYPE...SNOW. THE GFS BRINGS WARMER AIR ALOFT NEAR ZERO DEGREES
TO KPOU SUGGESTING SLEET MIXING IN WITH THE SNOW THERE...OTHERWISE
SNOW EVENT. LIGHT TO POSSIBLE MODERATE ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION. SNOW EXPECTED TO
OVERSPREAD THE REGION THURSDAY MORNING INTO AFTERNOON WITH THE
EVENING COMMUTE BEING IMPACTED.

The models have trended more south today so snow amounts are still unclear. Regardless, it should be a good day of skiing.

Hey if they were longer I'd give them a shot. Don't worry my wife has a mondo 26.0 too, she just has a more recreational fit than I do.

 

[CjS]

So this sounds good because i have friday off from work but i currently have no transportation (car broke down). Is there anyone going that wouldnt mind picking up a snowboarder in Torrington? Send me a PM and we'll take it from there. :beer:

Yeah, I think mine might be a bit recreational, too. At least you got an offer, right?

[JimG.]

C'mon snow!

Gonna take a spin up there tomorrow to pre-ski the trails.

Somebody has to bite the bullet and do it you know.

So I'll volunteer.

Thanks for your dedication Jim!

Thanks for your dedication Jim!

Always ready to take one for the greater good.

I am afraid I will not be able to make it on Friday. With all of this snow in the forecast I have to work.

You've got the wrong kinda job if you have to go to work when it snows.

My coworkers are going to Belleayre Friday...tried to convice them to go to Hunter, but they like that it's skiier appreciation day

Wonder what the coverage comparisons between the 2 mountains is

 

[MarkC]

You've got the wrong kinda job if you have to go to work when it snows.

Or the right one. The mountain I patrol at will be opening a decent amount of terrain this weekend so I have to get the gear ready and out at the shacks for the weekend. I may be able to make it in the afternoon.
