Grassi, Brian and I hooked up with deadheadskier. ROTD is Rime (okay icy bumps under chair) to Lower East Fall....great bumps up top skiers right, good bumps middle, tacky wet snow bottom.

Greg shot a video or two with his phone. Not epic bumps, but nice to get the legs moving IMHO.

Big Bob and I waited at 11 and figured we must have missed you. Then we took the chair and saw you standing there. By the time we got back down you were gone. Oh well...
Sorry, we were a bit late getting to the meetup spot. When we got there we waited for 5 minutes or so, by then it was 10 after so we took off. Bummer, maybe next time!
Highline should be open tomorrow if not definitely by Tuesday. Possibility of the Supe Quad as well with either Skylark or Bittersweet, forget which they were blowing.
I'll take the blame on that one. We first stopped at like 10:52 and I thought we could lap the Triple once and make it back in time. Would've been great to meet up with you both.
Overall, not a bad day. Trails were pretty packed, but the skiing wasn't bad at all. Guns down low seemed to be making sleet instead of snow, so that got a tad annoying. Got to experience first hand peoples complaints on the food prices. 2 slices of pizza = $12.27. :blink: I think it would be difficult to find a Pizzeria in Manhattan that charges that. Oh well, what are you going to do.
Looking forward to getting back up there mid-season when the mountain is fully open and the woods are skiing well. For the passed decade I've really only skied there in the spring when Superstar is pretty much it.
Great hooking up with Greg, bvibert and Grassi

Bummer....sorry we missed each other. Was Tyrolean out there today? I'm pretty sure she skied by me while I was gasping for air this afternoon on Lower East Fall.
Definitely good to ski with you again! You were ripping today, very little breaks. I needed to stop often....legs and lungs were struggling...
:blink: If that was quiet, I would have hated to have seen yesterday...
Got on the gondi around 9:30. I was mellow this morning. This ski season sorta snuck up on me. It was good to start the season calmly cuz I really wasn't sure how the hernia repair was going to hold up. Luckily, it felt fine. Strong actually, as compared to the weakness I had felt most of last season. I definitely noticed the lack of conditioning though being so sedentary for 2 months in the late summer, and basically doing very little else since recovering. A relief mentally to get the first day behind me.
You should shoot vid with your phone from now on. I felt like that was one of my poorer lines of the day. It's good that the picture isn't crystal clear. :lol:
Thanks for the props. Feelin really good for early season this year.

BBQ will do that to ya.
Good first day out for me. I couldn't have asked for more conditions wise, though there were a few times I wished more was open just to spread the people out a bit more. I felt pretty gaper-esque most of the time, but I found my rhythm a few times on Rime and made some decent turns in the bumps there. All in all it was great to get back out and nice to ski with Greg, Grassi, and Deadhead again!
I am very sore today as a result, pretty much my whole body aches.
I also learned an important lesson yesterday; Watch where you stand in the bar at K, you may get yelled at by some asshat who can't stand to miss a second of the game while he's stuffing his face from across the room.

When we left I stood up nice and tall for an extended stretch in front of the TV... and then I glared at him on my way out. That guy was a D bag.
