Kensington, MN…….

[SumJongGuy]

Excellent! Buck Hill's the only place I ever made lift served turns in October.. And that was only one night.

[GSinister]

Yeah, it might only be one night. But, they get bragging rights!

[Harry]

Troll may be open tomorrow.........2-8pm. Stay tuned.......

Nothing on their website yet. I’m not on any social media, if you hear anything post it here and I will head over.

[GSinister]

Looks like Trollhaugen is open 10 to 6 on Saturday! Unfortunately, another work weekend for me………..

[Harry]

Got up at 6am to get my gear ready. Not easy when you are a gear whore like me. Got my steeze dialed and ready to throw in the car at a moment’s notice.

8am and no update on website.

Got the email !

Website still not updated 45 minutes after the email went out.

I will be there right around 2pm. Green Freeride Systems jacket, blue helmet with BBI stickers. Mustache like Stalin. Ask for change.

[GSinister]

Working, dammit! I need to retire…….

Enjoy!! I won't be out til, who knows when this year.

I got an email about Ski Patrollers needed, so I had an inside track. I am still waiting on something smaller than 121mm to ship from Volkl so I may be a month out from skiing still.

We will have to link up, maybe even get Axe's ass to Troll.

[naedward81]

Troll is also open tomorrow and maybe Friday, depending on weather.

[GSinister]

Too bad you sold those Ripsticks……….

Start of another ski season. Trollhaugen really has their snowmaking dialed, perfect corn snow, just like spring. So much fun, sliding around on snow.

Met up with BaconMeCrazy, what a great dude. Every maggot I’ve ever met is a stand up person.

Damn Harry that looks like a fine opening day to the ski season. It looks like great conditions and not many people. Did you get to ski the gnar on Galende? Those pictures make me envious!

[Harry]

That guy from MidwestSkiers dot com was there, I skied up to him and announced “I’m The Best Skier On The Mountain”. He did not get it and kept filming the jibbers. Pretty sure Shane would have awarded me 30,000 gnar points for that.*
























(*) google Game of GNAR if you don’t get it either…

Pleasure meeting and talking with you Harry! Good start to the season. As Harry mentioned, it was great snow yesterday.

Hope everyone has a good season.

[naedward81]

I have some serious FOMO after seeing the pics. Might try to sneak out tomorrow if they are open, but it doesn't look promising.

We will all have to schedule a meetup at Troll. I will have some comp tickets if anyone needs them, and I think mine from last year are good still as well.

I wouldn’t count on the instructors at Welch for much help. I don’t think any of them tele nor would they want to. They have their system and they REALLY push it. That being said there are some strong tele skiers at Welch. Have your friend ask around.

About five years ago I took tele lessons at Hyland. I think it was their last year offering lessons but probably worth a call to ask. I also got a ton of helpful advice about technique and equipment from the tele skiers at Welch. Shout out to Axe biker for all the help!

Hope to get back to tele this year after a few years away.

Wow. Welch Belch [emoji481] is a phrase that I have not heard in a very long time. Not many of the original crew left, however there are a few of us that still show up on a semi regular basis. Most Saturdays spent chasing my 10 yr old down the hill, but still get the occasional solo day. Usually on TX Comps and On3P’s.

I have a spare pair of well used 28.5 TX Comps and various skis w/ NTN that I could bring down.

Axe can vouch for my suckiness- I believe I may have helped him to free his heel back in the day.

Cheers

Headed up to the Troll now. I’m the guy with the shell that looks like a Hudson’s bay blanket. Ask for change for a nickel, woo hoo.

[GSinister]

69 degrees and getting skied out. Good spring skiing!

FKNA Harry, good stuff!

Been a while since I popped in here (there was a time I'd start the yearly Midwest Chatter Thread); stoked to see it's already claiming bragging rights and trolling other websites and it's still only October, bwah!
