It is completely freaking stupid the bowl is closed on Tuesdays. One day a week? Really, yeah it is stupid. But it's not as stupid as when they were closed on Tuesdays ALL WINTER, so there's not...

Ski free at Lookout Wed,Thur,Fri with a pass from any ski area.

It doesn't even really matter. Just when you get a "real" report that it's epic, head up and it is puke. Report of puke, the next minute it is heaven. It's the way the Bowl is, ever changing. ...

Getting that old, yes, thankfully I'm not close to that. You have to at least get old enough that you no longer care if you look like a dork. We might as well embrace it, we all look like dorks and...

Most up at the Bowl were probably made by the mayorette, many given as gifts.

Fail. Try it, you just might like it, and experience what is hard to properly describe. Some could even ditch insulated ski "bibs" Skiers are all dorky in their own way :wink:

Plus, it's good...

They also help keep your butt warm on the chair (with or without snow, it doesn't really matter) without adding insulation that would make you overall warmer. They are win win, they shed the cold...

Ahhh come on, I don't see any sign of vanity in those photos.:rolleyes2

Bob-
Great name. Duh, I didn't get it until I said it out-loud to my SO tonight. LOL

It was yummy!

No, SOB are the trees between Meadows and Paradise, not under the cliffs.

Brrr, I guess I'm too much of a woos to brave these cold temps. Yesterday was yummy though.

On yesterday's slide, note Karkanan's language on the Avy email:

"I would not be surprised to see a...

Very nice. Care to share the spot on that 2nd photo? It doesn't ring a bell and it looks worth checking out later this winter.

Glop glop glop, crash. The sounds of skiing the bowls, ending with gapers on the outrun.:nonono2:

I guess you weren't around when they used to be closed on Tuesdays all winter, or when they didn't have any real snowmaking and hardly opened before Christmas. That said, logic does not apply to the...

Wow, Pat's getting old and soft! Actually, did you hear any more about his leg, how's he doing?

Maybe there will be a return of the "soft opening". I don't know if they've done this for years, but it used to be that if they were opening on a Saturday, and you happened to go up Friday (and are...

That would be great, except they seem to be using that to delay opening by one day. Saturday instead of Friday, WTF? If it doesn't warm up a bunch that will be moot for me anyways. But it would be...

The bowl is on the mend. Not healed, maybe healing, but with the sun and the lousy forecast, it seems a return to misery is inevitable. Lots of nice lines in the trees.

Just wait, you'll notice it after a few years. ;)

Points! Esp because Feb is when it actually snows.

OK, assuming the fellow's been around a long time, guessing here, are the initials TW? He's the only one I can think of that is anti-fatty still, but I don't think he frequents the bar anymore, I'm...

Aw shucks, are you flirting? :wave: :wave:

Just remember, we have to love everything we hate about the bowl. It's what keeps the crowds down. Or smaller than they could be. Or something like that. They do the best that they can within...

Good excuse for Brad! Right, road engineers in the area aren't up to the task, NOT! I think it's more like he'd have to pay quite a bit more than Pat's wage to have a road engineered and designed,...

Gotcha, understood. I think they (WCMAC) do like to get reports such as yours posted here, if you are interested. First hand, fresh beta on conditions, is gold.

I imagine the WCMAA (later today, tomorrow?) advisory will be close to extreme right now. You saw a red flag, respect it! I went cross country skiing (Lubrect) with the dogs yesterday, safe, fun,...

Nope, here's what I see on the bottom of their ski report page:

--->Getting ready to open upper mountain--hope to open Thursday, December 17, later morning, then will be open daily, except...

30 degrees at the top of Stuart peak (as of 10AM), doesn't bode well. Bummer.

Yeah, like their facebook page AND website ;) But with the bowl, the first day is always good for lots of standing around.

Looking forward to a report if anyone goes, Friday might be on my...
