How's the parking situation at Dodge? If a person can't get there before 10 tomorrow, does that person need to pay the extra for parking to be sure not to get turned around?

Scarred from KW experiences where they were full at 8am.....

[~mikey b]

you’ll always get a parking place but you might have to take the shuttle


if you haven’t sent that jacket just bring it tomorrow - she’ll be with me

Empty chairs and settled pow?

Yeah - and just great vibes.

Wait … I mean…it sucks there. Flat and no snow and rude staff. Everyone stick to palisades.

I haven’t been to Dodge in like 30 years, usually went to Bear Valley

Amazing First Day up at Dodge Ridge. Lots of Days old, untouched, warm pow. The snow reminded me of early March consistency.

Even getting on the hill at 10:10 after dealing with a big rig accident there was plenty of "fresher" lines to be had.


Rocking the 2012 Rocker "the Bridge", Trash skis for the win.

There was plenty of good turns still available as the sun was going down.


Now get out there and pack this base down. Your help s needed, git sum!

patient stated:


no shit, there I was - naked and alone - when all of a sudden, out of nowhere

BAM

DAMN

I was just skiing along going Mach looney (scientific term for really fucking fast) and I jumped off a rock and landed on a buried log. I hit it right under my left foot and kicked that shoe. I went ass over teakettle (scientific term for wrong side up) and cratered hard. I tucked in my wing because of reasons and came down on my right side. Smashed my right shoulder elbow wrist and ribs.

I had to posthole back up to the log to get my ski.
