The Shiros seem strangely out of place

The Shiros seem strangely out of place

Just put on your padded race shorts, your helmet with the face guard, and throw your ski bag contents all over a table in the lodge but never sit there. You’ll fit right in.

[Vt-Freeheel]

^^^ That sounds like the bush north lodge.

For sure the linesmen are looking at another round of outages. Led lights charged and ready.

[willywhit]

We've met? I don't remember..must have been da weed mon. Sorry.

You really don't remember ? you said you would never forget I and dem experiences we shared together

[biggins]

Get the snow fun in today and be ready for round two of outages... still plenty of wet snow / weight on the trees. Tonight / tomorrow's weather could wreak a lot more havoc....GMP has been sending out texts saying they're ready but be prepared.

Sigh, indeed. All that matters is a designated friend with a generator at 4:25 tomorrow for Tom Terrific vs. the Purple People Eaters.

[Bottleman]

Full send.

[BigDaddy]

^Thanks BM... I haven't had time for lunch yet, so I just drooled all over my keyboard.

3 pow days in a row here, 3 days without power, no complaints here...though maybe I shouldn't have left the generator on a semi remote jobsite. (cuz I'm hearing about it..:-)

BM, I DO remember now BigD being there that day in the past yes!... pre-soup mania...very funny about the loud speaker BigD...we should all travel with a loud speaker in our pocket now..just in case.
and thanks for taking the trip..it paid off well..

I'm always happy to take one for the team... especially when this is the consolation prize:




Glad to see the winter get an early start, too. And as far as loud speakers, I think I have a "Mr. Microphone" in my box of 80's memorabilia somewhere??? "Hey good look'n!... whatcha do'n later?!"

[m2711c]

Full send.

That soup looks wicked chunky....

[prsboogie]

Cannon was Nuts today. Been there in February and it wasn't this good

Touche

Cannon was definitely good. Low hangin' fruit!
Went straight and sidewaze today. I definitely should have done more squats...or at least one preseason.

[akokskis]

Semi-OT and some of you already know this, but if you see racers being asshats in the lodge, please take note of the team and description (don't worry, they'll have plenty of logoed wear) and look for a coach to advise. As one of those coaches, it's a constant struggle to get them to be mindful of the other people on the planet--and most aren't bad, but, well, they are teenagers--and I'd much rather catch and correct asshattery at the earliest possible opportunity. If I see it, I'll address it (and to some degree, I don't really give a damn if it's one from my team or not), but at the teenage level, we have to leave them to their own devices for a good chunk of the day while we deal with coach's meetings, setting, etc., and a heads up and opportunity to correct behavior before the asshattery reaches "calls from the mountain managers" level is much appreciated.

More on topic, the snow seems to be holding up pretty damn well at Sunday River, but I probably won't have a chance until Tuesday to get away from the race hill and find out for sure.

Good to see a Weasel sighting but Mrs B makes you all look like beaters...I have felt the same every time I've been on the hill with her!

[robrox]

Cardigan, with friends

[cat in january]

Doing a WFA class at Joe Dodge this weekend. Yesterday looked like a Spring shit show in the parking lot.

Rob, looks like you made a good choice

[danmelon]

Great time fat biking way up north in grand fond yesterday.

[Vt-Freeheel]

31` w/ 3/4" of wet snow overnight topped with 1/8" ice and a current mix of sleet and freezing rain bob.

I actually have a bigger issue with the parents than I do with the kids. Can I report them?

The Bottlewoman is flattered but she sez “knuckledraggers aren’t my type.”

Hope to get out with you soon FD. You need to make the trek South when the tide rises again.

That's crazy. AT gear flying off the shelf.

Yeah, Rob...nice!

Almost 2" but now raining @ 1200' westside whites.

[EarlyWood]

Some nostalgia there...


and a Mr. Microphone? (nttawwt)....but the correct phrase was "hey good lookn, we'll be back to pick you up later!" :-)
Great shot BigD...keep those warm vacations goin

weather doesn't seem as horrific as implied yesterday
nice stoke from yesterday...beats dragging a generator

carry on

Can't blame her there, we are a generally recalcitrant bunch.

I still have the 2 comp passes from last year, guess I need to see if they have an expiration date.

[t-the-east]

Glad I got out yesterday with the kids. And all week with the powder.

Good day to wax up some skis, let the legs recover, watch the pats and have a few brews...

[Peruvian]

^^^This.

Great TR, rob. Looks like the beantown tele crew had great weather and conditions.

Shitfuck conditions today in So VT so I mounted a new binding on my Charger BCs this AM.

[yellofin]

Couple of pictures from the Bush
The hike to Castlerock was fun with February conditions and a deep base. Middle Earth had a wind crust and didn’t ski like I was hoping for Rumble was more protected and had better snow but the best runs were off the traverse where untouched goodness and soft deep snow made it a great two days
