I'm always a couple of hours behind mall walker but I usually agree with his sentiments. What a fucking morning!

That's how he rolls, even on the deepest days. And he's had a lot of those this year.

quite a bit deeper out there this morning in BCC than we were expecting, trail breaking was fun

You could use ice skates on the bypass road right now. I had to put my truck in reverse to control my speed as I slid down it.

snow holding up ok in those steep shady areas?

Think he’s referring to all the people heading up with headlamps on tomorrow am which I was planning on being a part of until reading what phall said.

Pretty ridiculous deep out there this evening. Knee deep. Unfortunately it’s pretty low density and isn’t quite hiding that sun crust on S faces. It’s the first time all season I was wishing for...

get that god some spansers!

Saw a grand total of 0 people today once we got off the main skinner up argenta. Saw about that many tracks as well.

there's...

I think everything but RTP opened. Although I think I heard that mineral may have only been intermittently opened. Things were still soft but fairly skied out at the end of the day.

LCC is closing from 5:30am-8:00am. Commence shit show.

hell yeah is right! surprisingly deep and good this am

Sounds like the sun really did some damage today even though it didn’t show its face for long. I was getting ready to head up flag around 5 when a guy came down and said something along the lines of...

Is she the one that used to work at Inkline? She helped me in the past. Calling now for an appointment, thanks dibs.

Current best place to get some boot work done? I used to go to Inkline but they aren't picking up the phone and their voicemail makes it unclear whether they are still actually open or not.

Solid day out there today. I think the resorts only reported 4-5" but it skied more like a foot or so. Snow is pretty stable but be careful of sluffing, lots of snow moving around on steeper...

due to some navigational difficulties (I blame 5am start and fog) we didn't make it very far up little pine this am but the bottom of that is full of heinous avy debris and crust where there isn't...

rained up to about 15k feet, I'd probably just stay home

It has definitely snowed up there. Creamy goodness on the top half of the mountain, a bit heavy on the bottom half. Hardly anyone skiing and no lines which was a nice change of pace.

Hope you heal up quick and be skeptical if the doc tells you to use it sooner than you think you should ;)

while y'all are reminiscing and throwing numbers around, superior was skiing superior

Nice morning to check out some new spots. Bring on the next storm!

It’s in their story. Says mineral probably won’t open tomorrow but they are hoping for Baldy.

Nice to see the bird being up front about terrain openings for tomorrow on insta. Seems like that’s a first, that I’ve seen. Maybe that will scare some people off.

Perfect, that's where they belong.

Nice morning for a walk. Little bit brisk though, the wind is really not doing any favors to snow up high. Lower down is still holding really nice turns, even S facing

It might not have lived up to the hype but I’ve had worse days

gad2 didn't break down, it stopped for about 5 minutes but then started spinning again.

Just got home from SB, not a whole lot opened. Tram was reg only. Gad2 was fun for a bit but the lines were pretty long. That wind really did some damage overnight, it seemed like anything exposed...

Cruised up around 11, no road drama other than making the mistake of trying to park at Solly to access Silver. Spent 20 minutes just trying to get in and out of their lot before going back down and...

No worries, we bailed on the ridge after a short bit of wallowing and just skied it from the top of the clearing.

No, we skied down past them at the bottom. Looks like you guys made a better line choice than we did. We saw some headlamps up high as we were starting around 6:15, guessing that was you guys?

...

Exactly the kind of thing I was picturing myself doing while coming down #4 this morning.

Rad to see your Dad out and about Dibs. Always fun fishing with him and the vets.

Let’s keep those red pow skis alive. They’ve been on some adventures and were once touched by the ex internet...

Props on the long walk mall walker, that sounds like a leg burner.

fun morning skiing right from town

It's a lot more filled in but still seems like it's better to exit out main

I almost went home because they did such a half ass job plowing the road

the turns were ok...

Anyone know of ways to score discount tix to powmow? I want nothing to do with the impending shit show that will be going down in these 2 canyons tomorrow.

couple of quick clips from a white pine lunch tour today. it's skiing really good out there

Still finding really good snow out there

surprisingly still good out there on N faces

Just playing devils advocate here but how do you propose they do this? They can't really be expected to stop every single car coming up the canyon and make sure that they have "actual winter tires...

oops, just made it public. thanks for the heads up.

jtrue having himself a good afternoon:

Went skiing in another canyon. No road drama, no people, best snow of the season.

edit: anyone...

Did my broken collarbone this summer. He actually did it twice but the 2nd one was my fault. Good guy and an avid mountain biker.

Slightly wind kissed in the Gobblers area but overall great turns and very few people out this morning. Not nearly as cold as the thermometer read either.

Upper Days was great, hallway was a wind jacked mess, especially the bottom and George’s has an awful lot of tracks on it. Hopefully that’s all reset tonight.

Red pine skipping on xmas day. still plenty of rocks and stumps to be found out that way.
