    Skool = suffering


    Thinking about skiing while at skool = more suffering


    Look at the bright side. It will only get better, but try not to think about it.

    waited in line to ski the backside yesterday. turns out it was worth it. on one of the more northern facing ribs there was a mini fracture like 10'x10' didnt look too deep and made more of a slough pile.

    They can and will close the mountain. It's well within their permit for doing control work or anything else they deem necessary for opening. Alta does it too.

    You damn well now they can. It's like saying that can't close highway 210 because it's a public road!

    Dug almost an identical pit on top of the Catherine's meadow skips yesterday. We had another 10cm of total snow. New stuff ~fist, older stuff ~4finger and an ice crust separating the rotten snow. If we keep getting some snow maybe this could heal up...

    Nothing was moving for us, had someone tell us he had some large sluffing coming out in the chutes above supreme bowl. Not shocking.

    When will people learn that when you control the money, guns, courts, and the jails, you can do as you please, close what you please, when you please?

    Yeah, I know it was probably for a good safety reason,...and it's a PA statement, ... But, It applies across the board.

    Looks like some nice turns were had up there for some...

    that's the tentative plan. there's still a lot of things that need to happen between now and then but it's doable.

    Whoever posts for you guys on FB sure seems to think it's more than tentative.

    Same with your email marketing team:
    The Tram, Gadzoom and Chickadee lifts will be running Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 13-14, regular hours, weather and conditions permitting.
    Cant believe the tram is going opening day... doesn't happen too often.

    hit up the plasma center then headed up lcc. alta got another 6"-8" or more since yesterday. due to the very cold temps the new snow was very light - lake effect seemed to kick in several times. clicked a rock or two - no damage - unbelievable conditions with pow top to bottom. wow wow wow - stability is solid.

    ya, there's some great skiing goin on, but it takes a lot of snow to build a good deep, cover everything base out there. no rush, yer gonna have a helluva season. very easy to ruin skis and body parts this early in the game.

    i think my new camera makes capitolp look like a better skier than he is. jk he whooped me today. the skiing is fantastic, especially when you expect to cream rocks on any turn and dont.

    Didn't quite gobble me since I'm still here.
    Did learn an extra thing or two which will be helpful.
    It's on the short list for a history lesson.
