I heard Trollhaugen opened yesterday. Anyone hit it?

I’m a thousand miles away so I missed it.

I'm headed out there tomorrow. Figure I'll patrol and get some laps in.

Finally got around to pulling the XC skis and other junk out of my garage rafters (house was a former rental). Was pleasantly surprised to open the laacke and joys bag to find these.

Debating mounting my spare set of pivots on them and taking them out [emoji848]

jdoyle: mount up those pivots and go shred. Post pics.

uglymoney: how was Ski Brûle? I was close by in Minocqua for T-day, thought about driving over and saying hi. Their website dissuaded me.

On Black Friday we drove up to the UP and hiked up Mt Zion, home of the little ski area hosted by the community college. Then drove up to Little Girl Point on Lake Superior, where we witnessed a multi-generational family all do a polar bear plunge into the big lake they call Gitchee Gummee. They had a huge driftwood bonfire going to warm up afterwards. Talking to them, they started this family tradition 30+ years ago to escape the commercialism of Black Friday. Cool to see everyone from 70+ grandma down to littlest kids all jumping in.

Zoom in on the beach pic for polar plunge action.

Nice Harry!

Brule was awesome. I really like that place. It's hilarious that a certain FB group admin loves to shit on it every chance he gets. The place is special. Joke is on everyone who doesn't visit this gem.

The girl did all 4 days of the camp and reports great fun was had, not a clusterfuck at all ever, and found a super solid serious USSA type race friend from Marquette to slap gates with Saturday and Sunday. Her dad and I took some laps and of course he knows Yooper, who rarely posts here anymore but is a part of the OG fabric of TGR's midwest contingent.

They only had one run open so I waited till Sunday to ski, with a slightly smaller race group in the house that day.

When I did take those first turns it was with a nice fresh layer of yooper pow and the one run skied great, did enough laps to make my legs sore. Skied with some great folks. Just a great day.

Those old Hall chairlifts haul ass. Love it.

Found another huge dork in the parking lot with the Wisco version of my plate. Our cars twinned for the win and we weren't hypocrites at all, having skied some fresh that day.

Damn! Another work weekend for me. I could’ve been the second best skier on the mountain! Tear it up, Harry!

**GSinister** · 12-02-2023, 03:51 PM

I’m thinking next Wednesday at the Troll. $25 and a free coffee for seniors! Woo hoo!

Can Troll Senior Day handle Harry's level of debauchery??? I saw his ashtray FULL of little blue pills...

**skuff** · 12-03-2023, 04:45 PM

This isn't my picture, couldn't make it this weekend since I have it set aside for once a year redneck activities, but a nice little whale tail slide at Chestnut. Bottom of Warpath. Pic stolen from FB.

Run was closed and not pushed out (obviously).

I’ll buy Axe a coffee if he shows! It’s the least I can do……..

We'll see. This week has rapidly spiraled out of control, and it's only Monday...

**Harry** · 12-05-2023, 09:30 AM

In case Axe gets carded while trying to claim the senior discount coffee, I can let him borrow my Medicare card to flash at the barista.
