Over the years seen way worse carnage when folks can’t adequately slow/stop to avoid the homebound jackasses and numnuts.

Do you mean on 90 or the access road? In the 4 years ive been here i dont think ive driven in snow for more than 3-4 miles on the way back down 90. And the access road is usually nicely graveled and chopped up by the time i leave for the day. I guess ive been lucky and/or dont have the experience up there yet.

Nice pre-Xmas storm! Honey and I fishscaled at Blewett/Tronsen today in 7-8" of fresh dense pow. Ample coverage down low, but it needs another big storm or two for high tours.

Was referring to 90 but Ill cease n desist with the negativity. FOMO had me by the balls.

Love me some storm skiing and sad not to have been up there today but stoked this storm is over delivering going into the holidaze. Gonna help get a lot more terrain in play

How’s coverage?

I would guess that if you are asking then it’s probably a little bit shy of your standards.

This took a full half hour of digging to extricate at the end of the day. Mostly because I parked next to Jack and he decided to bury my drivers side while digging out his rig while I stood in line after line this morning. At least the right side of Nash was sufficiently mediocre to justify things...

Someone take him up on this offer, throw him down right side of Nash or left side Adrenalin, Felsen chutes on the way out.

Left side of Edelweiss, Rollen

Itching to try my SuperGoats but don’t want to turn them into rock skis on their maiden voyage.

Word on the street is that Alpy has good coverage.

**skajah** · 12-19-2017, 11:34 PM

Yeah, Baker tomorrow.
Not going to suck.

Scoobyru. Its 8.5" of clearance was insufficient for lot 2 today

Crystal was like walking in a winter water land at the base. White rain falling at a disturbing rate. We rolled up around 11, just as folks were leaving and the temps started slightly dropping. Mid mountain was quite fun. Oldest daughter logged her first day on new pow sticks. Had a blast on the queen in some pretty damn good snow for the temp hovering at 30. Tomorrow looks cold and blue. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Crystal is heavy, but great this morning. Doors laps until every turn is harvested.

**skibum93** · 12-20-2017, 01:31 PM

Anyone played around in Kendall trees or Kendall knob with this new snow?

Are they opening High Campbell or are they just going to be total dicks and wait until the weekend?

Take a wild guess.

They were bombing the hell out of Southback and Northway but I've not heard anything about opening. Those first few laps on 6 will be all-time though if they get their shit together.
