skiing the Mother Lode

[Warp Daddy]

headed up to Titus early this am to ski the Mother Lode -- 30 inches blower powski -- i mean friggin deep and light

The drive up was unreal----the closer we got to Chasm Falls the roads were like funnels and the farkin banks were 8 ft high. Roofs were laden with marshmellow frosting and the trees, man the trees were unreal . We pulled into the lot and they were shoveling the lodge roofs

I forgot the damn camera too in my rush and excitement to get there .

We Had 30 runs all over the damn mtn today .It was hip deep in the woods and knee deep where the trails were left ungroomed . The "Red Group Powder Piggies "were flyin today and grins were everywhere . Many Kids blew off school as there were many young guns all over the mtn too.

Damn The mtn will be good till May IF they don't run out of skiers first .

If you average those two together, it's less than 68, so you're doing ok.

My wife and I skied every weekend during graduate with Potsdam High ski club as chaperones. Really only had to unload my buddy's truck of the skis for a free tic. It was also where we formed the H.A.M.S. Club in high school. I have not been there in years but remember Hell's Kitchen well. I do not any of the new runs or glades. Are the ones that you talking about new?


I will be at Sunapee if we all ski or Okemo if it is my son and me. Cannon if all by my lonesome.

Sounds like a great time . We had our daughter's wedding ( to a Clarkson Guy ) at the GV . Louie Williams who owns The Grandview does a great job and is a helluva good skier . He used to go to Tremblant with 30 of us whackjobs each season . I think you'l have a great time and meal and well u KNOW the view

Not sure bout Jetski rentals try Wright's Marina in Motown or perhaps Schermerhorn's in Schermerhorn Landing . I'll ask around but didn't see much on the net just now .

TOO bad you aren't living up here now - damn it would be great to have 'nother "Golden Knight " to ski with up here , my regular buds are all ex SLU pucks -- WE NEED SOME BALANCE

I forgot about Wright's. My sister lives in Motown. The "Country Club" crowd can be trying. My wife's sister is a grad of SLU and my bother's wife also. But he and I are both CU grads, he is a Phd. EE and you know I am a geek. However we both played at hockey there, so not complete geeks. When my son applied we ran out of room for relatives that graduated from Clarkson on the app. He passed on $22k in aid and went to UCONN. My nephew is graduating in May as a CE and working in Rome. There are a lot of CU grads at my company around 10 of us.

This is getting to be a North Country love fest. Love talking with you, Warp. I miss home. You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the "North Country" out of the boy. It is truly a different world up there. Only we know.
