Hitman

fwiw-3.31" in the can for the month to date.

check the zipper on your trousers! I kid, I skied a run yesterday after taking a tinkle in the woods and neglected to zip up my ski pants. it was quite chilly.

10f here.

Beautiful morning. 21f here. Ready to roll.

Well, deep goes without saying, no?

I'm bailing on this shit show. driving up to vt tomorrow. I like my snow light and fluffy.

Thank you. Loose lips sink ships. todays the day we get a better handle on Sunday but I suspect it will be a close call anyway.

dude, take it easy on the lifting. looking good at t minus 4. steady as she blows.

Bullseye 7 days out. What could go wrong? Let me run and count the chickens.

Croton dam.

I ain't spiking no balls but I am going out to BC 2/9. They know how to do winter out there.

I'm just jealous. I don't root for others to miss out except the 1/15 debacle when I was incensed by what the sne crew got when we were in a 3' bullseye 1 day out. That one still smarts.

I’m jealous of anyone with more snow than me. #neverenough.

No punting on winter. At least not until March.

I thought I was going nuts when I heard the thunder last night.

Solid dusting here. This new thread is working already. Thanks GL.

That’s a heck of a slogan. fwiw- I had 1.56” on the year when I got home last night.

Sorry. You’ll be back before the end of the season.

Agreed.

I think the carpet allows the lift to run at a faster speed than otherwise.

I’ve skied whitewater extensively and red once last year. The former is like mrg. Great terrain, minimal infrastructure. Steep nicely spaced trees. Also, it gets significantly more snow than red on average despite their proximity. Red is more of a resort. More lifts, more groomers, but also some great terrain. nelson is an awesome city. Pm me if u have any questions.

How do you like the bindings?

They can and do download on the super bravo. However, imho, mt Ellen is an even better set up with the summit chair to the top. It’s a couple hundred feet higher than lincoln peak and the bottom of the summit is much higher than heavens gate. Plus the lodge is right there by the lift. There r more trails and a variety of terrain with fis, black diamond, panorama, rim run, and looking good.

I'm definitely not a "bump skier" although I do ski them with the 108s. While they are certainly not the best tool for the job, they are adequate for my purposes. My issue skiing bumps is that I have a tendency to sit back, such that when I am properly balanced and in a rhythm, I'm fine, even with the 108's. point is, its me not the width of the skis. What I really enjoy is powder and off piste so the mid fats are definitely better for that.
