[dookeyXXX]

Flew the flannel for a few hours this morning at AM.
9-to-11 is the jam.
Only Summit spinning, but there is enough to keep one's interest for 10 runs or until 11:30 (that was when stuff down low started to get sticky-icky).
Rumor is that they will know tomorrow if they are gonna stay open after this w/e

Was today good?

Yesterday was awesome slush bumps off Siberia, but it froze 2 nights ago. I was afraid it was too mushy today since it didn't freeze last night. I'm not that great of a spring skier to be honest.

^^^cooling off again later this week. Maybe some more freeze.

I'm seriously hoping. I only got 5 days this season, on the 2022 pass, I'm really trying to get 10. Deffered my pass and got 2022 on 4/19.

It was looking like colder this weekend, but now I'm looking it's saying minimum 36 on Donner Pass and getting warmer.

What do I need to do for Mother Nature or ULLR? Give me 5 more good spring days!

[TahoeJ]

^^ Good that you're skiing again. Last I heard you had sold all your gear.

You know what you have to do. (NSFW)

[Ottime]

Not sure we want to see AEV NSFW. Just a guess.

AEV - do you have a car? Mammoth is less then 3 hours and the Main Base is higher up than Granite Chief Peak. And they use salt.

Alpine is done the 9th and Squaw the 16th (if they make it)

Renewed my Ikon pass and apparently I’m “owning the stoke”? Who comes up with this shit?

Wow, they looked up "most bourgeois power verbs".

[TahoeJ]

Also...

“Score your pass and stake your claim to the mountain.”

“These are the moments, that when we own them, we own them forever.”

“Tote the tots! Dominate this year's spring break scene while making sun tanned turns with your favorite little ripper."

“Endless stoke on the horizon.”

I was on hold due to a technical issue with my account and almost thought about quitting skiing.

Much better marketing...

I have scars from the early 90’s on both elbows from supemanning on freshly salted mammoth corn.

Lol, “stoke” is the new “soul” of skiing in marketing speak. Bonus points for those who can map the marketing slogan to one of the mental shortcuts from Bruce Temper’s book “Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain.”

I will do the first one.

“Score your pass and stake your claim to the mountain.” — Commitment (committed to a goal or identity)

All-time spring condis at 6300 today.
Full-on waist deep in the backyard!

[Ottime]

Dood. You’ve been killing the patches. Great shot.

[jorion]

Never seen waist-deep corn before, looks kind of sketch tbh. Looks low angle enough to be safe I GUESS

[Ottime]

You just need to put weights in your pack to make sure you have enough momentum.

And work on that spring base structure with a wire brush and sand paper.

[munkyman]

Awesome patch ski. Is that lil guy wearing Pit Viper sunglasses??

[G]

Is that Legoskier?

[Vets]

I hope that this GIF of dookey67 in the deep mank shows up here.

[AEV]

Oh shit, you guys feel that? It felt bigger than the one last week.

[heckacali]

Yup. Spooky
