:lol:

Seriously, I hope you didn't get injured.

:lol: Is there a reason this is under Non-Northeast Skiing Trip Reports?

Nurse that hurt pride on the bumps!

Good call on both counts. Moved to the correct forum.

This transgression should result in a ban.

Who else is getting out today? I got a tongue lashing from the wife yesterday and had to do some damage control. Not sure what time I am rolling out of the office...

You better get her priority's straighten out and quick, it's too early in the season to be hearing that.

If I do get out I think I will be sticking to the groomers.

It was non skiing related. I dropped the ball on something and deserved my scolding.

Post something up here if you are going. As I said, me skiing today all depends on what time I get out of work.

Oh goody! People who won't be skiing the bumps for once!

ETA: Oh wait, you'll probably all be gone by the time I get there...

As much as I want to get out there, today has been the first day that the pain has subsided so I hate to aggravate it. Think I am going to hold of till tomorrow and grab the fresh cord in the morning.

Thanks for the heads up. If I don't get out today I might try to do the same. Might be nice to rock the Wateas for some mandatory GS turns.

You guys have all gone soft. Bumps were sick today...

I was rocking some nice big turns on my Watea 94's down Gunny last night (and exhibition ). The bumps are still small enough that I was able to maneuver through Gnar'easter without any difficulty too.

No pics?

How about a cheesy-ass "hand cam" video?

jake and i did the afternoon shift.. wouldn't have called them sick but they were fun. jake enjoyed jumping off the cliff at the end.


snow on Canyon was best IMHO.. Gunny was pretty good but the wind whips up that slope and it was crispy.

This is a dangerous time of year. The "family flag" flies very high. :-?

You guys need to keep things in perspective. We got a pretty nice mogul field within a short enough drive that you can head up and hit it for a few hours and not kill a whole day. I saw no ice. Scratchy hard pack, yeah. Whatever. Manmade ungroomed snow and it's been below freezing pretty much for weeks. Trust me, I've skied Nor'easter bumps much MUCH worse. So all things considered, yeah, I'd call them "sick".

We need to remember how good we got it. Scratchy moguls, closing midweek so the mountain can lay down a ludicrous amount of snow, closing tomorrow at 5 PM, blah, blah, blah.. Meh. We're EXTREMELY lucky we got what we got.

:lol: Very true.

all true. but i still wouldn't have called them sick, even with a qualifier of "in CT" "in December" "close to home". if they were sick for you that's cool. what would they have been had it snowed a foot today? more sickerer? ;-)

 

[severine]

Gunny after the groom was fantastic. Some of the best conditions you can hope for on Gunny--granulated sugar snow. Even I looked good on it. :lol: Wind was whipping, but it always is on Gunny anyway at this time of year.

No complaints. It's all good.
