    Do Work and HA hiking to the "goods". The good news, we are set up for full on charging if it ever snows.

    shots sequoiashan took today.

Dont be all sandy cause its been snowing more up here than your cats or the bush dood! Or that you are stuck in urban hell and make weekly phone calls to me on why you cant figure a way to move to ski land. I'll go ski some fresh snow now while you coach from tight jeans Queens you queen!

    Looking to get a set fairly soon, what do you have?

    Just put a Jones Solution down on layaway at the Alpine Shop. They are on sale for $640 so I had to jump on it while they still had a 161 in stock. They've still got a 164 Solution and a Hovercraft split, along with a selection of Jones solids. I'm now broke until the next paycheck/tax return comes in though, wish I had gotten the split before I had picked up some new hockey gear... Hooray for ramen noodles!

    Damn, nice deal grubbers...I'm kind of wishing I hadn't seen this, must resist driving over there now! As much as I would love to grab a hover split I think I'd get more use out of a mtn twin, especially so far this season, and it would be a better compliment to my flagship. Do they have all the jj decks on sale or just specific models?

    My guess is that the solids are on sale if the splits are. Looked like they are having a shop-wide mid-winter sale right now. Didn't look at anything else as I just went straight to the splits to see if the 161 was still in stock. Had no plans to buy it today, but once I saw the price and heard that I could put it on layaway I think I just blacked out and took the credit card out.

    thanks for the pkill link tbatt. def buying my limit of those (a guys gotta dream, right?)

    and TC, there is a little more to NYC than "urban hell" (like "culture" and "girls with shaved armpits") though this winter living down south has presented "challenges".

    I am definitely having thoughts of doing the same right now. I'd have to hide it from the wifey though, if she saw another board in the house I think I might be in need of a place to stay for a few days, or more!

    If anyone has some kids to entertain with a little scavenger hunt game, and wants to give them a free iPod shuffle:

    I burried one somewhere in the snowpack of Cannon Mountain.
    That should keep them entertained for hours!

    My son and I headed up to hermit lake to ski down the sherburne today. We couldn't find him skins in time so he hiked up in snowshoes and I skinned. Unfortunately with the "mixed precipitation" the sherburne was a mix of chopped crust and slick hard snow. Still, it was a great day for his first time "backcountry" skiing.

    Where did you find enough snow on cannon to bury anything? The freaking knob is a glacier.

    Well, If I told you that would ruin the fun of the game!
    But the good thing is, if your kids find it, there's no condition issues. It should be fully preserved in the manmade concrete.

    Mmmm... good coffee and bacon, about to head up to the hill. The lady and I went to the Alchemist last night for the brown/black event and it was great - felt just like walking into the old bar, same post-ski vibe. Hopefully they can do more 'events' like this in the future, but they have to purchase a permit for them so it may only be a couple of times a year. Still, it was cool having a full pint at the cannery.
    Big ski week coming up - only two days left at my current place of employment before starting in a new direction. Off monday + thursday to Sunday. I'll be skiing every day, pm me and let's make some turns.

    I've been out of VT for the last 1.5 weeks playing hockey but it sounds like there's no reason to come back? Apparently the snow around my house is nice corn but I'm assuming that=ice on the groomers

    Look at the bright side with all the hockey practice you should be good on the hills. Pick a mtn and you can prob start a pickup game while your out there. Last weekend at the bush i wish I had my skates on to come down organgrinder.

    He's 12 The shoes worked out good. They're a smaller size. But to be honest, he didn't really need them. The trail was pretty broken in by the time we got there and the crust on the trail was all broken up. He could have got by with just his boots and some of those rubber traction things. Next time he'll be on Trekkers/skins.

    Spent yesterday hammering the bumps. After the rain and ice storm this past week, speed control in the bumps becomes a little more difficult.

    Every day spent outside is a good one, and focusing on the technical aspects of good skiing is just as fun as pow sometimes. At least that's what I convince myself during a snowless winter.
    Best Regards,
