  1. Is elk better than Blue knob?? I haven't skied elk since 1995...I don't remember their runs being as interesting as switchback or razors or nightmare to dreamweaver.

    Is my sarcasm font broken again? Dammit...

  2. I was up this morning. Awesome conditions.

    I didn't make it over to widow maker, though. There was about 40" of pow on it and I just couldn't make it on to the trail.

    WM was clearly helped out by excess over blown snow from sleepy hollow... 5" tues night was on skiers right of the trail. Crazy it's up to 40" now!!!! Wahahoooey!!!
  3. Well for those that were not there, but should have been there, but didn't come because they were somewhere else, yes, 2" accurate.  I cannot explain why WM had more.  Just wish it wasn't at the top of the double (or that I had more than one beer in my pocket so I had a excuse to ride that rickety old thing again) otherwise I would have skied it twice and brought my cack measuring tool with me.

  4. I thought Switchback was the best.

    Every time I rode it, I had the entire slope to myself.

    Switchback was real good but it had more chop than WM. I only made my way to widow maker after riding the beer lift and saw that it was mostly 4-5" untouched snow. I am not saying it was rotd but it had the best snow. Skiing tops of bumps was just raw because not many people do the reverse line and soft fluffy snow was just piled up there... So good.

  5. Ha! I waited for you at the challenge bumps when I saw you on the chair up top but you went to razors (I don't blame you, razors was sweet). Had so much fun tonight. Best snow I found was on widow maker, no one must have skied that all night. Main bumps were nice two. Good smeary fresh snow.

  6. It's the truth and how did the slow ski patroller catch up to you??? By the way I have a black friend named Kevin. Some of the rap songs I sing at karaoke have the N word and I asked Kevin if it's ok if I say it as its part of the lyrics and he said it's cool so now if anybody ever questions me using the N word at karaoke I'll just say Kevin says it's ok. I'm not racist since I have a black friend even though Kevin is really well mannered and talks like a white person lol.

  7. I arrived in the upper lot at approximately 6:35pm fully expecting to be served a crispy toasted English muffin, which I was OK with as I did not stop at either sheetz or wawa on the way up. To my surprise the snow was still soft and cream cheesy but it was firming up ever so slightly such that it did not hinder speed. Superb carving conditions.

     

    As I made my way down midway to Main Street making sweeping GS turns a sole ski patroller was skiing from one side to the other and left me no choice but to come to a near stop as he skied right in my path... Slightly annoying me because there literally was no one else on the trail and the one guy managed to somehow get in my way... Anyway, turns out he caught up to me at the quad and rode the chair with me. I was able to uncover the fact that he was on a search and rescue mission for a lost 9 year African American in a pink jacket with blue helmet that has never skied before.

     

    As we ascended the lift, a snowboard was racing down razors like a missile and aired of the lower head wall. The owner of the snowboard was sprinting down razorback in orange boots (with little hope of catching up to it). How did it get away from him... Maybe he stopped to piss??? Towards the bottom of razorback he lost it and super-manned on his belly like a champ. Weird start to the night...

     

    The place was a total ghost town. Never set up fully and was soft snow all night. Bumps on challenge, barneys, and nightmare were magical in the hero snow. Challenge:

    Today was day 40 for me and I still needed to take a break in the challenge bumps....smh.

     

    Anyway, great night mixing in carving runs with bump runs.
