Seasonal Haiku, since the Japanese get plenty of powder...

May open and close

we ride when it snows

Skip work 'cause I'm "sick"
Fresh snow, better get out quick
I'm stuck in traffic

[climberevan]

I'm just here to be the first crusty fuck to complain that the new thread has come too early, what with the total lack of snow and all.

[powdork]

and yet, this is the latest the thread has ever started by a wide margin, irregardless of snow conditions.


edit-one could easily argue that the thread must exist in order for the snow to fall.

[irRADiator]

Does getting a dusting next weekend help open early or is it insubstantial compared to snowmaking?

[chickenmonkey]

Wooo hooo! Who knows what will happen. We will figure it out. The 19/20 season is dead. Long live the 20/21 season. That didn’t quite work out how I wanted, but I am being flexible...seems to be the theme.

[gone2alpine]

Jeezus effin Christ! Did Don Jr write that thread title? Its like I wandered onto a damn Q page...

(okay maybe that was a bit harsh but damnit TJ...that little thing called COVID is the thing that is most likely to kill off anything that looks like a lift served ski season. So pretending it's no big deal is just idiotic)

[lepistoir]

You started the new thread and now the hills are brown. Way to go. At least we can continue learning to use words good and stuff.

[CC_skier]

I'm a powderhound
Rippin big lines goin down
Snow rocks the world 'round

God I hate myself for posting that. A little too on-the-nose but it's what popped into my head. Happy to see the new thread, this weekend is gonna be HUGE.

[emcee]

until today, I've not checked tgr in a long time

always wanted to be on the first page

somewhere near the bottom by the 'next' button

[Creeker]

As a Tahoe skier for 38 years...it’s too early to start the thread. (I’m in my early 40’s)

That said, anyone have an angle on some 191 Wailers 105? Too early to spew the thread? Marshall?

[teledad]

They may open and close

5 syllables (or morae), not 6. You could be poetic and use “ope” instead of “open”.

[powdork]

i am super pumped
this weekend it's gonna dump
no more fucking trump

Obviously I'm not a covid denier, nor pretending it's no big deal. Just trying to keep it on theme but light hearted.

I was wondering if someone would catch that! Probably easier to just remove "they" and go with "may open or close."

[lepistoir]

latest thread e'er was
trolling powdork just because
snowy sierras!

[Ottime]

Snowy Sierras

Irregardless if they brown

Hoping for something.




Anyway, cool. Thanks for starting it up J.

[thefrush]

Been in the Rockies
Wherever I am, I'll keep
Having fun on skis

[El Chupacabra]

Mountain bike season
It goes on and on and on
Until the switch flips

[dookeyXXX]

I miss RacoonFace
His snark and snow skills were clutch
Oh well, new snow soon...

[bonewrenched]

Does anyone know
Where I can get my skins cut?
And bootfitting recs?

Ikon or Epic?
Reservations will suck hard.
Backcountry shitshow.

[powpig]

Just a bit of rain.
Shovel this weekend? Doubt it.
Sick of trail dust.

Didn't notice that when I copied it from the 19/20 thread. Fixed.
