Professional Lurker

Have fun guys. Be living (skiing) vicariously through you all this year. Post tons of pics!

I'll be living vicariously through you all this upcoming season. I'm out. Taking a year off of skiing but will be back at it next year. Surgury for my torn right ACL going to happen shortly after the first of the year.

Yeah. Smurf village in my front yard.

Lol. Nope. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Is it just me, or is there a decent visible glow to the north? Kp is negligible at 4 but Bz looks decent at the moment (but very erratic). Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Maybe. ... but I guess I spend most of my time at a place that is very racer-oriented with most of the skiers having above average ability. Other than the kid in a pizza on a green, they all carve. I find that I can carve even at low speeds and I tend to blow out my turns when I'm going faster as I tend to ski very fast and don't need to break the sound barrier on steeps. Unless they're using an alpine board with hard boots, snowboarders pretty much always scrape. Not a fan. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

It's all scraping unless you're carving, regardless of skis or snowboards. Of course, just about all snowboarders scrape. Can't say the same for skiers. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure I saw 2 maybe 3 flakes total. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

If you're talking about Friday, crowds were manageable, lift lines were long but not outrageous. No wind holds. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Crazy amount of snow not far away from me up at mt snow. Heading west on 9 from bratt, it didn't take long for the depth to increase. A few miles from hogback and the snowbanks were higher than my expedition. Up at the summit, even with the wind howling, the trees, were caked in a combination of snow and rime. Saw several people stuck in chest deep snow off piste. Fun day, but will feel it tomorrow in my knee. ...au revoir skis. See you next December. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Lol. Used skis from a swap: $175. New 2016 boots purchased this past fall: $275. Season passes for myself and 2 kids: free (excluding gas and 4-5 hours per week). Finding creative ways to ski on the cheap? Priceless. 56 days on the snow this year. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Nice pics guys. Pissed that I blew my knee out on saturday, possibly done for the season. Resting it up so maybe I can get a few runs in early at mt snow on Friday before it gets chopped up. We'll see how it goes... Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Damn ray! Congrats on the 30", sucks to hear that you're being doubted. Storm apparently sucked out here. Just got home and cleaned yup the meager snow on mtg driveway. Spent the day at foxwoods. The place was a ghost town. They got smoked, roads sucked. If there's a silver lining for me here out west, my daughter goes for her road test on Thursday morning to get her drivers license. The last thing she needs is snowpacked roads and enormous snowbanks. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Lol. Earlier this season mine ate a rubber doormat. I had to cut it out, it was a hot mess inside the auger. Lol. I'm sure I'll find chunks of mat all over my yard. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
