an adult must be posting for this kid. Everything is spelled right, capital letters where they should be, different font sizes.

I want to see some new faces. I'll be hanging out with these 2.

since no one posted a report for yesterday I guess I will. I got there with my kids around 1:30. the place was pretty crowded and the snow was slushy. Luckily for me my kids have discovered they like the left side of the mountain so we don't have to lap Tannanbaum over and over. Now we have to lap Bunny's Elbow. At least its a more interesting trail with some turns. My younger son really found his groove yesterday. He was laughing his ass off all afternoon and racing his brother to the bottom. Usually he is the one who wants to go home first and the first to complain gloves don't fit right, too cold, his boots hurt etc. I could not get him off the snow. After lapping that trail 12 times I was ready for a break but my kids were not. They did not want togo in the lodge. So reluctantly I sent them up alone. I knew the older one would be fine, but if the younger one melted down at the top of the mountain there would be trouble. They did great so I sent them up a few more times alone. I lost count of the amount of runs we did. That was my 4th straight day on the snow and today my legs are feeling it. We took the day off today and rode around on our quads and played in the snow (I mean ice) around our house. Tomorrow we will be back well rested. I must be really jonesing for internet because right now I am at BB lodge posting this. The place is completely insane. There was a total traffic jam getting in here, the lot is full. I parked near some construction trailer, hope my car doesn't get towed. Oh and I have only seen Papasteeze so far (as usual). I am convinced I am not going to meet any other pasr's. I always look for stickers on helmets and ski poles but never see any.

don't know about Christmas evening. I might not even get up there until around 5. We plan to be at Boulder Wed. 26, Thurs 27. I might try to get to Blue on Friday. I have that free 4th grade pass I want to use. We'll see what everyone's mood is. I know I won't make it to first chair like Doug. We are used to our short 10 minute trip to boulder. Sat & Sun are calling for rain so we will prob just stay local. I won't have internet all week aaahhh!

wow, poor Jeff. That's really a shame. Hopefully it will be a speedy recovery.

congrats for getting out on the snow. Isn't your baby due in like a week?

agreed. That is my only complaint against BB. The season pass ticket validation window is always jammed with people just buying daily passes. There is a window that technically you should be able to get it done without having to walk in, but they never open it. I try to put all our stuff down right across from the door so I can keep an eye on it. It is definitely an extra hassle.

In response to Justin's post...camps do have adult only sessions. I believe if you are 18 or over the "nazi" rules do not apply since you are legally an adult. Plus I don't think the point of spending that amount of money to go to Whistler is to smoke pot and get trashed in your hotel room. Camp is a great overall experience. I wish they offered it when I was that age.

If you are willing to lay down the cash, I say go. We went to Dave Murray ski/ride camp last summer and it was great. I hear COC is the best in Whistler. The only reason we didn't pick that camp was because my kids were too young to meet the age requirements. Whistler itself is a great place to visit. All the camps have off snow activities such as: bungee jumping, ziptrek, paintball, wakeboard, mountain biking etc. Everyone who is there loves to ski or ride so you will make friends fast. PM pappasteeze for more info, he has sent his kid there at least twice.

everybody stop crying and be happy there are 2 snowstorms coming.

alright uploaded to youtube

yup, that's where I learned how to ski.

well the guy that did the video emailed it to me in this format, sorry. I have no idea how to put it on youtube, sad as that is.

A few years ago I went to the Pocono Environmental Education Center. I think it's $15.00 and they give you equip if you don't have any.

we ended up at boulder on Sat. We had the whole mountain to ourselves. It didn't even get crowded after lunch. NO lift lines whatsoever, great day. My son used his poles for the first time and did really well. He likes to go down Tananbaum over and over but I convinced him to try Upper Sizmarck since its only half a black then spits out into a green. He liked it but now will only do those 2 trails. Hopefully Christmas week I can convince him to try some others.

BigdaddyK you are on JFBB website. Under JF trail report comments. Laughed when I saw it.

haha. Yeah that too. And Megan, we will def be at BB Sun maybe even Sat afternoon.

we might go to JF Sat instead of BB. If so 7:45 as well. If we do look for a kid kicking and screaming because he doesn't want to join a season long coaching program being dragged by a woman with a frizzy afro hiding under her helmet.

about 2 inches on the grass and my back porch. Not sticking to the road.

just added link I hope it worked. Ok nevermind, I can't get it to load. I suck at this stuff. Sorry Visit My Website

Visit My WebsiteHere's the video I just got from summer camp in Whistler. There's only some random shots of my kids not doing anything great, oh well. There's some nice scenery of Whistler and it gives a good overview of camp if anyone is thinking about going this summer. Enjoy.

I beat you. 185 miles for me.

ok I see it. I was looking at the black trails only. I didn't think bigdaddyk bothered with the blues.

I don't go to frost much, but I don't see Exhibition on thier trail map.

thanks for the heads up, I just got mine.
