Fixed the qualifications
And we are the Society Of Cranky Old Fucks, thank you very much.
Besides Jonesy and me, only one of the other people you met (Bruce/ Blind Melon Chitlin) are members.
We have a written Manifesto and Bylaws, with members in WA, ID, OR and NM.
We demand a correction in your article.

My apologies Bob. I've made a correction to the article which meets the demands of SCOF

[Corrected Article]( https://www.newschoolers.com/news/re...rfer-Snowskate)

OK thank you for that. We can't have our brand diluted/diminished.
I will call off SCOF's legal hounds...

Although the correction sorta reads like SCOF members aren't as classy as their friends...


A pleasure skiing/hanging with you, OD and E. See y'all next time. Will give BMC a hard time about not showing for his snowskate lesson when I see him tomorrow

Well, ya know it was real classy of them to buy us the round of beer. You have some cool pals on the hill.

Awesome taking laps! It was my first time at Bachelor, and I feel like I made 10 new friends. Appreciate the hospitality from both you and Jonesy.

We'll see yall soon in the Spring, and for sure hit us up if ya come ski Hood.

I think you make friends wherever you go.
Looks from your article that you met the famous Jacques. Did you get a Workin’ It sticker?

Frozen precipitation should arrive in the Cascades Saturday and beyond, Winter returns. I like ice as much as the next guy but it's time for a reset.

I thought it was against the scof bylaws to complain about firm carveable snow. Paging Tbs for legal enforcement. I think you need skinnier skis with sharper edges

Or a better skier.

The SCOF Bylaws do not address complaining because
Its members are, by definition, cranky
And can therefore complain about anything they damn well please

But with no more than two left to give, no fucks will be given if anyone complains about snow conditions

[jonesy]

You're not my boss.

Yeah, he hosts his Real Laps vlog on Newschoolers and is a prolifent poster on the forums... so we get to chit chatting quite a bit about "dude, what if everything is all made of love?"

Nice guy, that Jacques! He wants to luge ride my powder snowskate down Bachelor to like 50mph, and I am all about it.

Bite your tongue, it's called "power tilled packed powder", or "hard-packed", never ice

I was “the next guy” after Jonesy’s “I like ice as much as the next guy” comment

A wise man (perhaps cranky) once said ice is an opportunity to improve skills for when the good conditions return. Anyone can make nice turns on mellow slopes under ideal conditions...

I learned to ski on ice with wooden Northland skinny skis. Then Rossi smash j's, then K2 710's (Not the FO) In NH/VT.

Ice is a daily feature of those gnarled twisted trails.

Todays conditions: LOUD POWDER! Dug out the old barn skis for a nostalgic day on the hill. Right tool for the job.

Off groom was unfun but skiable. Groomers were carvy if you could find were the heel pushers hadn't scrapped it down to the base.

^^^Stiff Skinny skis for the win today.
Make carving great again
Until the next dump

[Ørion]

First time skiing down here. Felt like I only got to enjoy a quarter of the mountain, given the conditions, but genuinely loved ripping groomers on too-wide skis and dodging meat gates. Can only imagine how fantastic this place is on a deep day when glads and off piste in general is in play.

Thanks for the PSA. Will call them on some SR95s.

I realize Swiss is known for their precision watches and whatnot but skis? Are they really better made than say K2, Volkl, etc? More than anything their premium price reflects Swiss wages. I picked up a pristine pair of Head Chip 71 a month ago for $100, albeit it’s probably more than 10 years old, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance on hardpack.
