I do love me some spring skiing, whether it's slush or powder or chalky.

But I'm happy that there are many people who think otherwise. I even understand it. But I don't share the feeling.

But it makes you really, really bad.

Once it's March it better be deep pow or blue bird spring skiing. 1" and overcast today. Fuck skiing in that.

I’m not ready. Right now 1” and overcast seems kinda awesome. I’m trying pretty hard to hang on to the season.

Jim Cantore is getting wood, two feet in the Greens this week, new QST Blanks arrive tomorrow. I might actually ski powder this year?!?! I was out on my road bike yesterday and it was awesome, shoulder season can deliver.

You can't be a Truckee local unless you go to Hawaii or Cabo in March. I have yet to qualify but spring skiing has never been my thing. I do it but not as often or as enthusiastically as in those glorious cold days in December and January--which for a number of years have been sparse around here as the snowy months seemed to have moved to February and March. And as soon as the corn gets ripe in the spring we get another little dump and the cycle has to start over.

As long as the snow doesn't get too slushy, spring is usually my favorite time to ride. Crowds are down, you have better chance at decent visibility, and March is usually a good snow month in the PNW.

Only challenge is fitting in the spring snow riding with the spring bike riding, especially this year, when I'm trying to get in shape for some cycling events that have me a little spooked.

It seems like the internet just stops here sometimes, but if I grab my phone and do Speedtest it's always working. Is there an easy way to monitor (and log, somehow) an internet connection over time?

whoa, what happened to my name up there? ^^edit: and on this post, too. I guess I have a new name?

**old goat** · 04-02-2024, 08:11 AM

I think it's the same name but a period correct spelling.

**ötzi** · 04-02-2024, 08:28 AM

I would've thought the umlaut was pretty neolithic but okay.

We must have been h?kt.

Iceman got frozen again.

**ötzi** · 04-02-2024, 09:19 AM

Well this time I had nothing to do with it. Although it's interesting that it happened on my birthday. Unless it happened yesterday, it which case it didn't happen on my birthday.

I have a feeling the box fan is to blame.

**Danno** · 04-02-2024, 10:32 AM

Happy birthday, man of ice.

Thanks fellas. I was gonna post a little age-appropriate musical selection, but the little icons let you put things like videos in a reply are gone. hmm. Let's try it the old way:.. ..edit: well the icons are gone but the [video]..[/ video] deal works again (on the desktop version at least)

Looks fine to me.

How'd you do the blacked out 'P' earlier?

**ötzi** · 04-02-2024, 01:32 PM

Hey it's fixed! I didn't do anything, it changed and now it changed back. One of life's little mysteries I guess.The icons at the top of a reply are still missing though.

**old goat** · 04-02-2024, 04:13 PM

The Sophon did it.

Who makes a super extra wide winter boot that will handle Fred Flintstone feet (width needs to be in the toolbox)? My beloved LaCross are giving up the ghost. Need something with support, not floppy boots. I can't find anything that fits so far.
