What a narrow escape! I hope other people have learned something by the news coverage of this horrible event. The only good coming from this is that it might save others from the same mistake.

I am currently teaching in Colorado. Moving from SoCal, I had to do nothing except apply for my credential here. I love teaching, and cannot imagine doing anything else that I enjoy so much. The...

Beer, skiing, food and great peeps - enough said.
Beer was a good breakfast.
I'm sorry I missed all the camping festivities and am hoping we all do this again.:the_finge

Colorado sucks ass...

What the Fuck!!?? On my screen, it isn't an eyeroll - only a sheepish sideways look. I guess I'm a total emoticon jong, but I meant everything I said - no sarcasm or put-downs were meant. This is...

You guys are my idols! I always wanted to huck off a chair! Great Pix! Did you save some powder for the rest of us???????

If I can drive there, I'll be there. I'll be the one with the shitass grin. Sounds like only Breck has even any decent vertical open.

Woo Hoo! And so it begins........:D

I got bit by one in college once. I got pretty bad blood poisoning, but I had no medical insurance and we had to go the "home remedy" route: dripping hot candle wax on the offending injury. Holy...

Bring it on!

What the H*ll, I'll bring ketchup. I sure hope someone else shows cuz ketchup and potato salad alone don't make for a very balanced meal. I guess if the beer is there I'm good! :D

I was there Monday, and must ask: are we skiing or ice skating? :confused:

Ah, well, alcohol makes everything fun!

Time to log off and go get smarter..........or is that less dumb?

It was soooooo sweet to have 10" (oops!) of fresh (albeit heavy) powder Monday, the end of April no less!. The trees at A-Basin had pillowy mounds and I laughed all day long. Didja hear me???? ...

-SheRa and Snowfire may be getting into swimwear for maggette calender shots

Gee, I was told I HAD to wear a bikini and short shorts to ski anytime after May Day. I really didn't??? I'm so...

Ummm...Yeah...I'll be there if there'll be a cool maggot contingency, but since no one asked me I ain't bringing squat....well, I'm a pretty good cook so if I see or hear some grovelling I might whip...

I fully concur. 6"???? Yeah, I found that in spots. I also found mid-thigh in a few places and 2 feet everywhere in the trees.
I planted my S's on East Wall further than anyone's except ski...

We might be there Sat or Sunday if they get some new snow. Lower East Wall was awesome last week! I wear a royal blue ski jacket, ski on urine yellow 1080's, and the back of my helmet has TGR on...

Vertigo bad....Cliffs good!

I'm ready.......I haven't shit my pants on a run yet, and I haven't backed off of anything in the past two years (unless the rocks there were enough to eat my skis:cussing: )

I HAVE taken my skis...

:biggrin: Thanks for the beta! I guess I may as well give it a shot!

You will never ever get rid of berry suckers unless you torch your yard (not a viable option). Yeah, I heard the Brush Off stuff works and so does completely covering the area so that no light /...

What about The Back Bowls? I haven't been yet (thinking of going Tuesday), but I heard they were steep. If I do Double Blacks all day usually will I be disappointed there? It looks from the trail...

Yesterday was unbelievable at Breck(10" overnight and dumping all day), with another 10" last night! :eek:
I am sooooo jealous of everyone gettin' some today! We did get some good pix, but I'm...

The last 6 times I've skied in Summit County it's been 3" - 15" of powder. Sunday Breck got underreported at 2". We found a foot of powder in spots, 5-8" in most midway up the mt..I can't wait to...

PM me if you'd be interested in shooting me. I have a pretty flexible midweek schedule (read: I can go to almost any resort any day but Fridays) and I'll be up in Summit / Eagle County most Sundays....

....and no cookies or elevators at Vail! :nonono2:

For the record, Beaver Creek had the only double black groomed run (Golden Eagle) that I've ever skied. Hated it! :fuckyou:

I looked at some recent action shots and...I need to lose the helmet and huge jacket. Now I need to find some powder....Ullr come hither. Must have freshies!!!!!!! :biggrin:

I really wish the...

:D Why didn't she go, too? 18" of Pow here and I would leave the kids tied up at home so I could ski without them getting into trouble (of course, they'd want to ski, too!)

My hubby won't let me...

Skiing in a foot of fresh powder on a bluebird day on my birthday (Thanks, Ullr, for snowing for my BD Tuesday!) Who the Hell needs cake???????

Thanks for sharing your experience. Everything I read here about unfortunate happenings has made me a better, safer BC skier (I hope). I really enjoyed the "stream of consciousness inner dialogue"...

I remember skiing Snow Basin in the late 80's, The only facilities were in trailers, there were rocks everywhere and lift tickets were only $22! The runs were great, but December didn't have enough...

Any maggots gonna be at Wolf Creek this weekend? My kids have Friday off so we're planning on being there Fri - Sun. They just got dumped on and there's more in the forecast (but you know how THAT...

I'd love to go (I HAVE to ski tomorrow; it's my birthday! :eek: ), but.....
I think I need to get in some more beacon / probe practice before I can hang with the "Pros" (plus I have no skins......) ...

I can't wait until it opens. :D
There were just too damn many ropes up yesterday! :fuckyou:

We were there. It was sweet. 5" + 4" made for some nice powder EVERYWHERE. Not sure if I saw you or not. What do you wear/ski? We rode Lenawee a lot to get over to Falcon but were on Pali a...

Eat at Ramon's Mexican in P. Springs - awesome food! Look on Expedia for good prices on hotels. Best Western and Holiday Inn give free breakfast.

One of the best bars is the one on the...

I totally agree! Powder and trees and killer steeps are king, but when I make my way back to the lift I always look for (albeit short) bump runs. I love the challenge of trying to make it...

San Francisco is more expensive than San Diego which is more expensive than LA. The differences in statistics are usually due to WHICH areas they include (i.e., only the city itself or the...

Ah, yes...SoCal: the good, the unsafe and the expensive. I used to live near LA, but I had to move because the smog was killing me. I remember in Elementary School (in the 60's), we would have to...

Ice in the morning; Ice in the evening (I nightskied a lot!) and slush the rest of the day. When slush freezes, it turns to ice. That happens every winter night up there. Powder days were VERY rare...

Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing as you did your story of life a few weeks ago! Good to hear you're "healing" and that you're back out there with Winter.

Cheers!

Agreed to all 5. I just threw my boots out 2 ski trips ago, but my new ones still kill me even with custom footbeds. :mad:

I have a serious issue with learning to love ice. If that's all...

:nonono2: Dumbfuck drivers on the I-70
Gapers who stand in front of the lift line
Watching people eat pig eyes or sheep penises on TV

And there is more ....MUCH MORE!

Good one!
You forgot about "Ski before all our natural areas are destroyed and/or developed for their oil and/or become military practice fields......"

Great to see we all have faith in America...

At 4:20,I'll be doping........ :FIREdevil

...and where do YOU suggest skiing?????? :frown:

Too bad I didn't know a maggot was skiing Chair 6. I was there on and off most of the day. In fact, in the morning I was the only female I ever saw on it (except the liftie who was barking out...

Watch your mouth, young man. I grew up in SoCal, went to college in San Diego, and I am usually NOT A BITCH (neither are any of my friends!). In fact, since you love statistics, 4 out of 5 beautiful...

I was all set to head to Vail yesterday, but with the snows in Co Springs it took 3 hours just to get to Breckenridge! I'm not complaining because I poached some of the best snow I've ever skied out...
