^^ or at least fix the potholes. Yeah I'm skeptical about it too and don't appreciate this encroachment on my style. There's also the optics that only thing Vail will invest in at KW is parking...

^^ it is soooo bad. It's like a pothole slalom course through the entire Timber Creek zone. They should make those potholes reserve their own parking spaces like everybody else!! :D

^^ were you in a yellow jacket yesterday emcee? I think I might have been chatting with you just after you rode that line at the top of waterfall in your pic (me orange pants, black jacket). I went...

I didn't ride Kirkwood the past 2 days, Kirkwood rode me!!

Great skiing at the Wood. Sat (7 inches) was bluebird pow morning, storm day afternoon. Sunday (4 inches) was mostly cloudy all day, sun...

Kirkwood was splendid today, 180 degrees from yesterday. Chair 6 by 10am, backside at 12:30 or something? We we over in Palisades, which was fantastic and a lazy low traverse track out there today...

^^ that was some sweet old school.

Kirkwood was ok today. Groomers softened but zee ofpiste was pretty meh and didn’t loosen up that much. incoming reset is badly needed there is some gnarly wind...

I prefer to break my own wind :D

KW was pretty fun on Tuesday, some very pleasing wind buff and spongy snow. I think that's the first time I've seen them just give up on building the road for the...

Kirkwood was great today. Maybe 4 or more inches fluffed things overnight and it stayed cold and cloudy all day with even a little snow here and there so everything held up really well and should...

Kirkwood was really good today.. I was a little concerned when everything was on wind hold to the top for the first hour but we went and railed the Norm's straightlines (which are all in great shape)...

sweet line Soul Skier. I miss Squawlpine.

Kirkwood was great today. Many blissful pow turns to be had. Backside was open by 10am, crowds pretty minimal despite an unusual early pain train up 88...

that was my plan too but now may just eat the hotel room and turn tail Sat night.. Sunday forecast really messed with me on this one oh well!

cool post, so much musical gold in there to be tracked down and explored.

yeah bingo. The cheap season pass model is essentially a cost-saving model. There is no incentive to make the product more attractive to potential customers and every incentive to cut costs every day...

titties and beer, what else?

Kirkwood was excellent yesterday. Hully Gully booter on the backside was yielding many backflips. Got greedy on the last run of the day in Vista and earned a nasty shark bite, should've known better..

damn that is fucked up. I can't recall any fatalities from various inbounds slides over the years but memory is hazy.

RIP fallen felllow snow slider..

and I would just like to say RIP OldTimer. It was an honor to share a chair ride with you once many years ago.

Palisades parking policy seems like madness. At what point do they decide to fine you $100 for a no show? 1pm? Treating your customers like criminals never works out in the end.

I was wheelin' and dealin'...

^ here she comes watch out boy she'll chew you up?

it's Vegas baby, some things that happen really do stay there!

dang that's like a $400 surcharge on your pass basically if you want to ski weekends. Can I buy a season pass for my car?

Kirkwood really fun yesterday. Props to them for staying open.

The Wall was in great shape, it's definitely not every year you can ski right off the top and just rip steep soft turns wherever you...

KW has herpes. Stay away.

srsly tho not sure I would buy the KW only pass unless I had a place there. Too often it's not possible to get there, especially this year..

wow, per ebay it looks legit - I had no idea it was worth that much now, I have a signed 2nd edition as well. I would never part with it though!

oh man, I forgot that was the same day out to almost thunder. so fun that was..

and I really need to get a new ski jacket LOL.

Only KW memorial day I remember was 2011 I think? It was a pow day and they only spun chair 10, it was a rad day I skied upper cham for the first and only time..

I don't think it's happened since...

I haven't looked down it, just looking at the huge chockstone in the choke in the pic seems like it doesn't go but maybe it does!

Waterfall has several cool straightlines right now skier's right...

oh and fuck Heavenly and Vail for knee-capping the NV side on April 3rd with a historic snowpack. The more I think about it the more it pisses me off. Guessing this will now be the standard going...

I think the one to left of Once is called "Once in a Blue Moon" but I could be wrong. Doesn't appear to go so no blue moon this year..

That sign placement is funneh. :D

Soul Searcher is totally buried. There's a a few tips of the main cliff poking out that still make for a fun straightline to the left of the main straightline. It's mostly just a big open face.
...

Definitively current. Here is Heart from yesterday. I passed, and Powdork, thanks for posting the vids of it getting skied. I study them!

I also checked out Upper Cham and backed off...

you could've gotten there today.

Still surprised Kirkwood got everything open today, dang must've been good. I'll be slopping up the leftovers tomorrow..:chug:

Heavenly also better than expected the last few days. Bluebird Saturday yesterday really hit the spot, things softened up nicely. Missed the Mott opening today but ah well, had to get back to...

^^ 10 ft or so of spackle **might** just might put the Heart chute in play for a mere mortal like me.. I've been wanting to ski that fucker all my life. Maybe this year is the year! but I'll probably...

did you move up to the basin LSL?

I was so lucky to get into Kirkwood yesterday before they closed the roads, it was weird to pull in and then witness the parking lot **NOT** filling up..

Had...

Holy shit 88 was a white knuckle drive this morning. Glad that’s over now!

^^ man almost every weekend is stormed out and windy, it's been kinda tough at the same time as bountiful but yeah no complaints lest I have to shut my dirty whore mouth..

kirkwood tomorrow!

LOL. 2 Dollars!

stay safe out there. I really gotta do...

well, we skied a lot more Gunbarrel than would I prefer this week with all the upper mtn lift closures but at the same time was happy to have it and you gotta take what you can get ya know?

Snow...

Northbowl chair at the Heav today skied great. Fun mini stuff to jump off in there and it was more comfortable than up higher in the storm today. The high speed upgrade to Northbowl this year makes...

Kirkwood got pretty ravaged by the wicked witch of the E. Yesterday was face melting at the top of 6. Today they couldn't even spin The Wall it was gnarly wind plume up there all day. That said, snow...

Today capped off 4 days of very fine quality skiing for me. I'm sore and tired and happy. East wind affected things a bit last night but seemed like some areas got kinda blown in and bufffed and...

^^ Dang. I set off a small slide at the entrance to Pipeline today in Killebrew and went for a little ride myself. First time I've ever had my feet swept out from under me, luckily it was pretty...

Epic Kirkwood backside day. Jeez it was good out there today.

Tremans is my favorite Kirkwood straightline. So fun, it's been a few years since it was filled in enough (for me).
443247...

Epic Kirkwood frontside pow day. Deep and glorious and bluebird and empty. So filled in, seems like late March in a big year already. Eagle bowl late opening was awesome. Legs got torched!

^^ hoping I can get up there tomorrow at least via 50.. 88 now closed all the way down to Dew Drop.

why? I say let the bitching continue.
