I was all set to be there along with a crew of friends but life got in the way at the last second, so I'm out.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

I should be there!
I further assume we're doing the usual Friday evening meeting at Roberto's in town. Let me know if we're moving somewhere else.
I'll be camping, likely off the Loop Road if there's any clear space. I'll likely ski the resort on Saturday, maybe tour Sunday depending on who's feeling like doing what.

Plenty of clear ground on the loop road, just a few patches of snow here and there in most places.
Unfortunately I am not making the mini since I will be there next weekend to run the Mammoth Half Marathon. Plan to ski Saturday, run and drink beer Sunday, and ski Monday/Tuesday if anybody is around.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot

There should be people flying in from all over the country, Spats and Splat bring enough laughs for everyone so it's all good. Rolling in late if I do, I'll try to be ready for some laps tomorrow. Splat have same cell#?
Hutash should do a last minute party crashing appearance, for sure.

Damnit, Roberto's. Now I'm really bummed I couldn't make it. I often crash at the Sierra across the way and love that place.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Traffic looks like poop, probably rolling in super late. Someone message me if they're camping off the loop and know what's up ✌️

Just pulled in. Scenic loop is clear to camp anywhere.
Don't see anyone else in Roberto's, so I'll just have to polish off the duck burrito plate myself. If you get there yell "Change for a nickel" or just find the guy who tourists mistake for Plake.
If anyone showed up, I'll be at Stump lot ("the beach") tomorrow. Mango jacket, old Surface skis.

Ah damn.
Not paying proper attention.
Somehow thought it was next weekend - doh!
Watching wrong thread. Yadayada.
Cindy's hamstring is still a bit tweaked from a coupla weekends ago, anyway.
But still. Sad, and a gotdamshame!
Now if anyone is still around next week...???
...Remember, those who think Global Warming is Fake, also think that Adam & Eve were Real...

I am now laying on the bed convalescing.

Vets managed to show us a couple pretty good lines. AND THEN
The sun came out!!! Chair 23 started spinning. and the snow was good!
Today might have been the day.
I could not hang. legs of jelly. Hoping for better weather Sunday than is currently forecast.

Quote of the day, for me, at least, was on one of our last runs of the day Saturday, we picked up a random guy on the chairlift. He stopped Punani after we got off the lift and asked if he was leading a clinic. He said that he'd been watching Punani skiing around with a crew behind him and was sure he was a pro. I think his exact (or close to exact) words were "I saw you on the hill and said to myself, 'If that guy's leading a clinic, I need to meet him and sign up for it now!'". Dude ended up making a coupla laps with us and slamming beers in the parking lot. Punanai may have an "off-the-books" skiing client now.
