I'm psyched too. Breaking in some bumps, reasonable temps, and some nair to soften things up.

bring your bionic knees. falling temps throughout the day with a low around 15 tonight.

Give me a C, give me an E, give me an M, give me an E, give me an N, give me a T.

whatta ya got?

Any thoughts on what today's weather event will do to those piles on NE? I know they blew snow the other night. Any confirmation on whether the top coating happened? I'm getting out Sunday with temps in the low 40s. Should be a good day...

my prediction. it will rain, the bumps will get wet. the rain will stop, the bumps will dry out. Tomorrow, the sun rises, temps reach mid 40's bumps soften. tomorrow night, the sun sets, temps go below 32, bumps harden.

i have been so greatly enlightened by your analysis. just ask and 2knees will answer. ;-)

i was wondering if those baby bumps/snow piles on NE would be reduced to pimples with the wintery mix.

damn how small are they this time?

in all seriousness, i would doubt one day of cold rain is gonna do too much damage to them.

and i'm still gonna try to get out sunday afternoon. have my daughters birthday party till 1:30 but i may get in a couple hours in the 3pm to 6pm range.

I think they'll hold up fine, especially without anyone skiing on them in their soggy state today...

hopefully i can catch you between 3 and 4. on the top 2/3 of NE there were some of those small mounds i was talking about. but if they top coated and got some more massaging i would image they are in better shape than wed. night.

NOT BUSTING BRIs STONES HERE - But Bri shot some video. If he posts it you will see what I mean about the conditions.

I was working on it last night, after I got home from working at Sundown, needless to say I was a bit tired. If I have a chance this evening I'll try to throw it up, it may be sans music though. There are some good clips in there too...
