May there be snow at the top when you arrive.

Sorry dude, get better as quickly as is possible on a broken back...

and I sure hope so... evil-e or not, I'll be skiing. At least it'll put Peril Woods super deep if it's blowing...

**marcusling** · 11-22-2010, 08:20 PM

Fuck me. Biking, I assume? Heal up quick. I, of course, can sympathize to some extent.

Lotta rides out there to be hitched. I may have extra seats in the car for a Friday dawn patrol run to Alpine, returning Sunday night. I'll post up again later this week. PM me if interested.

I'd say very low. It takes them a couple of days to get KT setup and marked, and they probably won't be getting much done in full-on storm conditions tomorrow. I think low-angle terrain is their priority right now (upper mountain, Shirley, etc.) before the holiday.

**bluesbrother49** · 11-22-2010, 08:42 PM

Um, yeaaaaahhhhhh....
That was the deepest, lightest snow I have ever skied at Squaw today. Tits deep and face shots at 3:30 in the woods....

I set a pole up to do this about a week ago. I hope mine comes out as good as yours.

Yeah, makes sense. It's fun to dream though. I'm actually stoked they even have red dog open.

Anyone been up West Shore??? Wondering if it's nipple deep or neck deep up top. Probably gonna recruit some trail breakers Wed and check it out.

Nah I slipped working on my model train set trying to get the town crier stationed adjacent to the life-like produce stand.

Of course.

I'm all good, just some ribs and vertebral vestigials, nothing spinal per se but I hit the magical number 13 on fractures. You and I both are rocking opposite ends of the shoulder season.

Thanks for the well wishes. I'll be hiking by new years.

**Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer** · 11-22-2010, 09:23 PM

^^^^ Sorry to hear that man. Heal up!

Seanhav - sick video dude! Cool angle on the camera. And man, Waterhouse looks fun...

**Nuthon** · 11-22-2010, 09:30 PM

Got 2 laps inon Echo Summit this afternoon. So good. I have the kids tom. but I'll be at the Wood on Wed.

**SchralphMacchio** · 11-22-2010, 09:46 PM

Uuuuuuuuuuuugh, vibes woo!

Any soft tissue - muscle, ligament - stuff thrown in the mix as well? I've had two crazy things happen the previous two seasons, but honestly the back injury was more hindering over time and took way, way longer to deal with and fully recover from than the lung thing - a very long winded way of saying I feel yer pain.

**Sierra Cement** · 11-22-2010, 10:07 PM

PD and Seanhav's camera work are going to make me finally buy a helmet. That definitely looked like it did not suck. I was wondering if Echo Summit was already good to go, great work on nabbing that one pre-turkey Nuthon.
Won't be long for me now....

anyone wants to carpool up from the southbay for the day shoot me a pm.

**unofficialandes** · 11-22-2010, 10:22 PM

Unofficial Report from Squaw Valley Nov. 22,
On Nov 20th Squaw got 12-16", on Nov 21st it was 14-18", and today they anounced 10-12" more (and these are just the lower mountain numbers). So, I'll spare you the obvious declarations of how deep, insane, and surreal it was to be skiing pow like this in November because I know you can add up these three sets of numbers and realize: "Goddamit, that's freakin' DEEP!" See, you said, not me

Damn Mang! I hope you heal fast.
You are one Tough Bastard, that's for sure!

(NoStars was fun on Saturday...once we got there. I need fatter rock ski's...)

**RaccoonFace** · 11-22-2010, 10:34 PM

Holy poop, tomorrow looks good!

Nuthon, good to here there's a skin track in on Echo, nice work, wonder if we will see a full reset tonight.

**marcusling** · 11-22-2010, 10:59 PM

Is Coop saying that they arent opening until 11AM, or is 11 also going to open on wed?

**crazbalhead** · 11-22-2010, 11:41 PM

Do you guys think the coverage at Squaw is rock ski mandatory or safe for the newer sticks. Thanks to all for the badass stoke vids. My little semi-chub is is making my laptop teater as I type. Gonna be heading up tomorrow after I get off work in the AM. Sooooooo pumped!
