sorry boys... can't fly out to Maui before this storm. hopefully I can break the curse if i stay in town.
depending on the weather, i could be playing BC on Saturday and either at Alpine or Northstar (my 3 y/o has a skiing BDay party there) on Sunday.

Chili, come on! Meet us @ Alpine! we can find fresh all day, If ya don't mind hiking/skating in the afternoon: estelle/white wolf, high t and out towards Twin Peaks...you know the drill. I have found Alpine best on Sat, as most locals have mid week passes and don't hit it on Sat, and the tourons/bay area peeps don't know where to go/too lazy to hike. Originally Posted by onehotchili

Sorry boys, I'll be farming spatula turns on the mothership at Squaw. Unless someone has an Alpine hook-up, of course.....I'd be stoked to meet you guys one of these days. After tomorrow night in Vegas, I'm gonna return jacked up to hit some high-speed Light Towers arcs...

Its puking in SLT right now!! Ok puking is a bit of an overstatement but its no longer raining. My fingers are crossed for the weekend though I hesitate to make an "Anton Guarantee" at this juncture especially since I ain't be skiing regardless of totals. Hope it piles up for you suckers.

Posted this on another forum, but thought it might be of interest here too:
From Powderhouse this morning:
The pass (7200') only received a few inches - dust on crust type of conditions. However, the top was draped in an 8" light and dry fluffy blanket over a still soft (not yet overused) mattress of a base. Considerable sluffing on the steeper lines in the bowl, but nothing deeper than a few inches. Friday should bring some more cream.....it's back on!
Gimpy - right where he wants to be at 7:00 AM:
Gimpy and Buddy:
...and for the trick of the day: A Mad Steezy Front-Side Spicy California roll:
Settin' it up:
And he throws it, proper:
The "why" became obvious after the spindrift cleared:
Back to the mellow vibe, Gimp and Buddy in the lower bowl:
