M27 is becoming our own version of Julian from Trailer Park Boys.

**m2711c** · 01-12-2022, 06:41 PM

i don’t care for mixed drinks.

**riser4** · 01-12-2022, 06:45 PM

Does a bear shit on the pope?

**ticketchecker** · 01-12-2022, 06:50 PM

Feel bad for asking but at what magical park is M27 creating this UC powered winter?

My world is colliding with some cognitive dissonance.
I grew up skiing the upstates ice hills with "machine groomed" trail counts updated via phones and the newspapers on Fridays before heading up.
Then I moved to Tahoe in 94 to ride the big boys,
Fell in love with all things lake Tahoe, now including Praxis, synonymous with big lake powder skiing.
now seeing Praxis on upstate hills is causing a short in my brain.

I believe what you are seeing is a form of ‘Mass Formation Psychosis’. It's being discussed in one of the covid threads currently.

Just had this conversation today at Mammoth with a mag. Bizarre. Why do ice skiers do that?

Yay for Harvey. Yo man, come give us some more details on the place. We're definitely planning on getting up there this year to use our 2 Indy Pass days. I'll let you all know when it looks like that's happening, maybe some will want to make the trek up to meet for the day.

Just like seeing a motorcycle stuffed into the back of a Corvair, at first glance it may not quite add up, but trust me , this all makes a lot of sense. I’ll tell you what I’m seeing, it’s a place I’d like to be.

This joker gets it. Aint always about the gnar gnar.

And in Timber's defense, this looks pretty damn nordic.

Damn, if those pics don’t take me back to a time where me and my buddies spent every single night at the local hill under the lights, pounding frozen bumps, getting air, getting a buzz, and laughing our asses off the whole time.

Great memories. Thanks for the reminder M27

Thanks Huck. On some trails in Western NY I used to get spatially disoriented between up and down. If it happened I just followed in the direction everyone else was going.

This picture reminds me of a nice creme brulee I once had in Paris.

I'm also having a flashback of the time we took the snowmobile, tied a 30 ft rope to a flying saucer and played crack the whip on the 1" crust in the old cornfield. Marvelous fun until the flying saucer cracks through the crust and goes from 40 mph to 0 mph in an instant.

Glory days.

**gravitylover** · 01-13-2022, 08:53 AM

That sounds like it's as much fun as being pulled behind a snowmobile on skis and hitting a rut or rock and double ejecting on flat ground at 30+ mph

**riser4** · 01-13-2022, 08:56 AM

Ah to be young again.

**BmillsSkier** · 01-13-2022, 09:13 AM

When we were elementary age, my buddy's dad would tow us behind the three-wheeler though the neighborhood on one of those plastic 3-seater sleds when it snowed.

As we got older it became my buddies' trucks and empty parking lots and the consequences became much more severe.

**m2711c** · 01-13-2022, 09:47 AM

first time, we just looped the rope around the sleds back bar from saucer to saucer…. give’r the gas. all goes well till the first hard corner…left saucer diggered in at speed, rider was promptly ejected. right saucer, still loaded, took up the slack sending left saucer straight into the back of the unhelmeted drivers head knocking him right off the sled at ‘bout 45-50 or so, yanking the kill tether in the process. sled stops, right saucer rider plows straight into stopped sled at speed….

fuckin’ glorious. like pickin’ up that god damn 7-10 split.

yep.

views are fucking sweet today. you can see for hundreds of feet at least, maybe even more.

**Benny Profane** · 01-13-2022, 10:19 AM

Hell, now they make those monster jumps in parks where kids land on ice from 60 feet in the air, like that poor soul I watched yesterday and wind up crumpled.

**riser4** · 01-13-2022, 10:21 AM

Huck to flat, ride it stretcher to the road.
