Just got home from work, long day. I had a good time skiing with everyone, watching you guys kill the bumps was nice. I didn't expect to ski with all the bumpers much, but ended up hanging with the crew all day. I got my fix of big, fast turns early on Rime, which was pretty sweet. After the meet up I tried to get my feet moving quicker, and did my fair share of flailing. After lunch I got out my new Dobie SLRs for the first time, fun skis. Great day overall, wish I didn't have to leave early to get to work.

Great vid! Looks like you guys had a good time. The snow coverage is damn good.

I had my GPS in my pocket. Should I put the route up on CrankFire :-D?

It's actually pretty cool. You can see the total vertical, max. speed, etc.

It was great skiing with you. You lay down some nasty rails. Like i told you yesterday, i was behind you going through the glades area and then you just took off making some sweet gs turns. I felt like i was standing still.


Ahem. AC/DC from 1975 is not exactly a hair band. :lol:

exactly.

Poaching Royal Flush with 1" of natural snow, now that's retarded!


For your information it was 2" of natural snow! But yeah, we didn't ski much of it since we cut over to Highline on racers edge. Highline would have been very nice if it didn't have a nasty crust layer. It would have been beautiful on a pair of fat skis.

I'm pretty sure racers edge only had about 1". Lot's of rocks. They were smooth though.

I left the Treo in the bootbag, I purposely avoided electronics, computers, TV, news, etc. Besides, after posting TRs last season with the Treo, I noticed that my bill went up like 20-30$ and decided a real time TR wasn't that critical, lol.
