    Ellingwood couloir this morning!!!! Definitely bring the running shoes if you're headed up Garnet, as I was able to cruise almost to the Platforms before putting on the boots. Had to walk over quite a few drifts, but they were frozen solid in the morning and easy to deal with.

    Made it car-to-car in just over 8 hours, which for me, is mind-boggling. Last time I skied the middle, a couple years ago, it was a 12+ hour ordeal. I guess that means I'm finally getting in shape...

    Skiing, whether you're in Wisconsin or the Alps, is a dumbass hick country sport that takes place in the middle of winter on a mountain at the end of a dirt road.

    the park is skiing well right now, but its hot and sunny everyday, so not too sure how long it will hold up. the bottom is melting out fast: the Skillet already doesn't go all the way to the lake. By the end of the month, I would expect upwards of 2000' vert of hiking. Also, by then, the handle might have the dreaded runnel.

    If I was you, I'd head to the Winds. that place ALWAYS delivers, for many reasons, no matter the conditions.

    ^^Typical TGR videographer, cares more about the snow than the wolf chasing the shredder.

    Anyone still out skiing? Rode No Shadows and Powder 8s yesterday. Four Shadows has a rocky crux and is otherwise melting quick. I'm not sure if it'll be continuous by next weekend. No Shadows probably isn't far behind. The snow was noticeably smoother on Powder 8s.

    Well I didn't get notified of a reply 5 months back, anyway for clarity I loved passholer's video and his dog, looked cool like a wolf. Assume you were asking about the Cody posts instead...
    Anyhow hoping to get out to JH this spring for sitskiing, I've waited way too long.

    Seems like those early season storms are a bad omen the last few years, it never comes for good and we're left with a shitty snowpack the rest of the winter. I feel you're pain, but I'm more than happy to wait if it means less heartache in January.
