Skied two turns on a snow king groomer, with 4 year old Ben and wifey, going slooow.
Went down, dynafit didn't release, ripped the ligament off of the bone.
I see Rork at two.
Rough night.
Go get some for me.

Best of luck, W! Heal fast! I gotta get that Dead sound gear book back to ya. It will help you get through the couch time. Lemme know when you want me to drop it off.

How bout if I bribe you to bring me lunch this week, A?

you need to make up a radder story than that

sorry about the knee. Sucks to go down making the family run and not charging hard.

heal up

We all love big dumps but there's a lot to be said for smaller storms. The recent pattern has "nickle & dimed" us right to the goods. The last week or so has been sweet. I've got a few good pics but I am too much of a computard to figure out how to attach them. Tried and they appeared on the righthand side of this page as "most recent photo". Jong I am.

The apocalypse couloir treated us very well today!

Hey, any of you guys tried that thing... its kinda like downhill skiing, except you don't go downhill. You just keep skiing, for miles and miles and miles. I think they call it, nordic skiing?





Those skinny little skis sure can get you to some cool places!

Probably my deepest day of the season at the 'Ghee today!

foot of fresh... .4 inches of moisture

sucks to be skiing bell to bell today, but somebody's gotta do it

I guess I should say thank you to rideit for how good the pass skied this morning. Thanks!

Is that Huckleberry Hot Springs? Last time I went there I had Diarrhea for a week

Must be dumping/windy! Tram is down for the rest of the day.

Thanks Rideit! This AM was my best Glory of the year!

Always here to help.
And who says I don't provide stoke?

sorry to hear about your injury
My office is at the bottom of your hill if you need any help during the week.

No, this one is much harder to get to. But sorry to hear about the shits, I've been to Huckleberry many times and no shits so far... Did ya drink the water?!

Holy shit the Village was good this morning, for those short sweet few hours before everything shut down again. 12" was definitely an understatement. Slabby and kinda spooky in many places, glad to have avy gear inbounds. But man oh man... best day of the season for sure... until tomorrow...

Good luck getting here. Check WYDOT for road conditions.

Just got back from Jackson. Holy shit was it good, but once we hit Rawlins it sucked. Got stuck in Laramie overnight. Icy, blowing snow, low vis, typical I80. Definitely check road conditions before you head out
