Thread: padded seats on chair 2

Which one of you daily Alpentalics has the matte red helmet with a TGR sticker of sorts? I'll say hi tomorrow if I see ya.

I'm with you guys - low expectations can yield really good results. once again, i'll be in a red jacket if yalll want to say hi. if not my night trains will do the talking!

ha

Through intensifying pain I was instructing the kids at Waste tonight for SOS.
I would say tomorrow will be one of those days, that if you weren't there you will wish you had been. A solid foot of really nice snow on top of soft pack by the time I left. I would expect a 5 star day tomorrow.

I will be back on snow hopefully towards the end of next week. I have to get some arthroscopic surgery on Monday to remove a piece of cartilage that broke off of my kneecap when it dislocated. Doc's gonna try and remove some old bone spurs and smooth a few things out. This may have been the best thing that could have happened to me. Once again everything happens for a good reason if you let it.

heading to the chair



now

The padded seats got some love today. the upper mountain was awesome. taking a lunch break before i head back out. nice meeting everyone!

Likewise.
Done for the day.
Need to get some work done, and then there is tomorrow...

elevator was sweet this afternoon below every steep slot.
huge piles of chalky good to cushion the high speed turns over the ice. lower section still a bit variable with the covered breakable crust yielding another 6" underneath.
nice to see all the kids lapping upper mt.
till tomorrow

the sun showed herself for a bit as well

got back out for three laps on snake dance this afternoon - so good and deep. it was funny, sunny on chair two vs snowing on armstrong. gotta love it.

anyone want to avoid the crowds and tour saturday?

Heal up quick, things are just getting going!

Alpental was awesome today, especially the upper mountain. Once the elevator gate opened it was on! Will be up there again tomorrow around 11 after I take a test in the morning. Feel free to say hi, I have a blue jacket, black pants, black helmet, and I ride a blue/black lib tech skate banana. Also might be wearing a contour on my dome piece.

I'll be back on snow in a few days hopefully, then light duty for a week or two, and then it's on.
I'm so relieved that I won't be out for the rest of the season.

New mission: destroy anyone in the unload zone.

Ya, think we got a lap and a half before that disappeared. I was fine trading off snow for visibility for that short amount of time. Ropeline rode well today. Tomorrow should be fun if nash gate opens..

a dreamer, i like that but remember it is best to keep expectations low for maximum reward.
tomorrow will be fun regardless
kevino i will tour just to avoid the potential masses.

Expectations were set low after reading the report of crust at 7am. And then expectations were smashed, excellent day and never waited a minute in line. Didn't stop much for pictures, but I'll toss one up.

Yeah, today was well above expectations for me, I'm setting the low for tomorrow however. Not counting on Nash gate at all, would rather be surprised.

you my friend have turned a corner in slopestyle satisfaction, prepare for anything and expect nothing.
see you in a few hrs.

Dr. Rosenpenis was hyped. Heard you and Nick took him ski jumping and showed him Elevator.

I'll be up there this afternoon for a couple hours before I start teaching lessons for the Fatima kids. Brown Sessions jacket, black pants and Blizzard Argos skis. Happy to hook up with any mags still hanging around.

I've noticed negative is the new positive with the summit kids on this board. High expectations for maximum reward ain't a terrible idea.

today was a maximum reward day at alpental, the trifecta of goodness.
deep snow available to ride
sunshine with cold temps
no crowds
beautiful day to ride around the mtn. with friends

Gift day for sure. Good to hook up with you, ACH!

nice to see you greg make a pass by medicine tree for a moment as my crew medicated between laps

another surprise today keeping with the low expectation theme, low crowds and still nice snow.
chair loaded before 9 to 5 people ready for an open nash gate.
not yesterday quality, but very nice conditions still prevailed.

lots of little ones on the hill but they are easy prey in the lift line
