Superbowl Sunday though. Some people have screwed up priorities and will stay home.

Quiet day before the (hopefully) big snowstorm. Trails were in good condition. I think they took out some of the double fall line at the top of Challenge (flattened the skiers left side a little). Challenge glades were nice - getting some nice slot type runs thru the bumps on the steeper parts). 31 degrees, no wind, cloudy, kind of flat light.

Sorry, I seem to be in a time warp.

Except for the two WMMR days, there are no crowds on Fridays, except later in the afternoon when school gets out, but even then there are no lift lines. May be a little more this weekend with President's day, but it should still be quiet.

Last weekend was when I was having problems with the headwalls.

Another ego trip app for iPhone users: Every Trip This was today's runs - I just didn't know what day it was when I labeled it. Also probably should have turned it off when I visited the rest room at the bottom of Exhibition.

Thanks for the video clip. And for non-JF skiers - it wasn't too early on a Sunday morning, 9 or 9:30 - we had the slopes to ourselves during the runs.

Is bottom to top better? Actually been skiing out to the trail around the headwalls the past couple of weeks. Put your sticker on my helmet. Thanks. Jfskidan coming down elevator.

6f at 8am. No wind, sunny. Slopes in good shape, a little slow from the cold. Should have put green wax on last night. Challenge glade has some fresh snow in it. Made it down top to bottom for the first time in a couple weeks- no ice in there.

And what ever that reason is, that pisses me off. In any case, parking at Jack Frost tends to be a free for all after it gets crowded, and the front lots can get completely full. Although people do pay attention to the no parking saw horses and roped off areas, but little else in the way of common sense parking.

Pic taken this morning - it was a private garage that had been pretty generous in the past, just too much rust now. Looking at a mini-van (our Sienna is getting pretty old) - need something for our golden retriever and all our gear.

No, not my wife or even the truck dawg. The old Honda Civic didn't pass inspection for multiple problems (mostly rust). 200,000 miles, a lot of memories - from two children's seats to two rocket boxes. Saw it coming two years ago when I stepped on the bumper to tie down my kayak and the bumper fell off. Never left me stranded, amazingly low maintenance. What was nice when skiing with it was that if two SUVs pulled in next to each other and left room to open their doors, I could sneak in between and snag a great parking spot. Made a mistake a couple of weeks ago and brought my dually pickup skiing. Parked in the lower JF lots on early a Saturday, and then couldn't get out of the lots because of people parking in the intersections. Finally had to back out one of the entrances.

Left about 11 when it started misting. The hill on 115 south of the raceway was closed due to an accident. Brown coat boarders were tearing up elevator glade and elevator before their lessons started.

Death cookies if you hit the runoit of elevator too high. GS course set up for the race team on half of challenge.

Great conditions like yesterday. 31, cloudy and thinking about starting to rain. Got to get your skiing in this morning. Snow a little softer. Light pretty flat, iridium yellow goggles today (thanks steep and cheap). Wind starting to pick up from the south pushing you downhill.

Is the JF ski school going to give mogul lessons? Because, boy, I need them if I'm going to hit those. Nice that the slope isn't that steep. A nice starter set.

Heard whistles from true chairlift thought wtf am I at blue? Just the redcoats doing sled practice on river shot. Getting a little busy now. Both emtn chairs going.

So is it ok to sing along with candy night if you have the slope all to yourself?

Should have brought my gs skis. These 165s aren't hitting Mach 1 going down floyds.

Jadip. 19, no wind not a cloud in the sky. Slopes smooth and fast. Purple wax fresh edges. Lodge and east mtn quiet except for some hot skiers.

Is there a jpeg of the sticker? We could make our own.

No, my fanny got too big for the pack (good thing we aren't in the UK). Whats in your fanny pack? On our way out this afternoon we took the Exhibition chair back to the lodge, and I noticed there is a nice patch of seeded moguls on the skier left of the trail. Have to give them a try tomorrow.

Cloudy about 45, no wind. Very firm base with light loose stuff on top. Elevator glade looked nice and soft so I decided to try it and went in the middle entrance. Big mistake. It was frozen solid and I did'nt't look too graceful getting out. Elevator was another story. Nice and smooth. Started at the peak did some turns, built up some speed, and traversed up to the top on skiers left and headed down again. Starting to develop a compression if you hit the bottom with too much speed. Challenge and tbolt glades are pretty icy. Those two slopes have some small ice spots in the middle in the mid afternoon. Crowds from the discount ticket prices aren't too bad, either in the lodge or the slopes. Challenge lift did stop a lot though.

Apparently it was rain 20 miles south where I live. I"m on the road now though, sorry I missed it.
