He gave up his poles this year... apparently they aren't suited for his pirouettes. Weird guy but hey. We see him and feel at home on the mt.

ORH_wxman Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Awesome day out there. Really awesome to see the western crowd again. It had been too long. Awesome meeting snowgeek. I missed sugarlof1989 somehow. I gotta meet up with you next time. I second what Hippy said about Prolurker...wonderful guide for the first couple hours. First time I had skied Beast. What a great little mountain. Loved the lack of crowds and it had some nice older school New England trails on there. We will def have to do these more often. Oh and it was the first time I saw polar bear Pete skiing. His reputation precedes him but for good reason. Dude is more comfortable on skis than walking in shoes. Awesome time and we picked a perfect day. Even got some steady light snow at the end after a bit of filtered sun early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I texted her you were fine and having a blast. Good times. We chased you after what was supposed to be our last run when I waved to you, competition was so good we had to do it again.

Ginx snewx Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I hate the loading carpet at the quad, gate hit me and I almost took everyone out. Love the new runs. Next time Pete says follow me, yea no. UMASS killed my knee, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete is a fantastic skier! At lunch he showed us pics of his frequent Western ski adventures. Dude seems like he could be in a Warren Miller Ski film. Living the dream. .

ORH_wxman Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Oh yeah Steve. Megan was fine...while I was skiiing my last run with snowgeek, Pete, and Ed, we were stopped halfway down and I felt my phone vibrating and somehow I had reception over on that side of the mountain so I was able to briefly tell her I wasn't dead before my phone died due to being out in the cold...lol And for those who don't know, ginxy tears it up out there. Hangs with the younger dudes just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Oh and I'll add that Ed (northshorewx) is another just tearing down the slopes with guys like pete. Now I know why he wants to move to NH. Lol. Great crowd today that truly has a lot of fun on the slopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will do a Tuesday sometime, maybe you me the crew and Charlie and a few stragglers there. Snow was just perfect , of course wouldn't be New England without the obligatory ice spots.

Professional Lurker Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Indeed. He gave up his poles year... apparently they aren't suited for his pirouettes. Weird guy but hey. We see him and feel at home on the mt.He's developed tendonitis in his left elbow due to his pole planting turns. He's been using poles off and in this season and gave them up for good about 2 weeks ago. Goofy guy indeed, but I love him. I ski with him several times per week.
