How many of you people are skiing?
Just curious

I don't think many people are going to truthfully answer that they are in fact skiing. It is very difficult to post on TGR and ski at the same time - trust me, I have tried.

I have two days in. Nothing sweet or epic, but have gotten out for the two 6+" days at Loveland.

Aw you guys are so quick, I was making my first poll and you already answered in the thread. Please come back and check the boxes. I bet it's a gaussian.

Well my legs are kinda tired right now and I gotta save them up for the snow coming. Plus it's a far walk to your mountain.

7 days on the groomers. Nothing great yet, just good to be making turns and getting back into the flow of things.

Got 8 days so far, mostly groomers but was able to put a BC rock fest together a couple of weeks ago...
Looks like maybe a foot+ for tomorrow in the Sierra
