Thanks man. I’m not 100% sure what it is but I just really enjoy being out here. Snowbowl isn’t Utah, Jackson or a lot of CO. But I enjoy skiing here as much as anywhere. I like the terrain, layout, look and feel of the mountain and the scenery is up there with anything I’ve been. It isn’t 2000 plus acres, cliffs, pucker up steeps or anything like that but it is enough; and Flagstaff isn’t pretentious…just down to earth people who enjoy being outside (with a lot of good eats). Maybe it’s just the older I get the less I feel the need to venture out of my comfort zone. I think I just like being comfortable.

Looking like snow showers and maybe some sun today as the forecast is calling for the heavier snow to start at 8pm tonight. Supposed to get 2 to 4 in town tonight with up to 11 inches over 7k feet. Only 75 inches in so far this season so they need it. Unfortunately flat iron, white lightning and upper bowl are closed but some natural snow trails and tree shots are in play like the Gondi line and jeep trail etc. Looking forward to skiing some of that today. Solo today as my daughter is back on campus. Oh and Forgot to mention I won a free Smith Mission helmet yesterday courtesy of snowbeezy. Got entered into a raffle for answering a few safety questions my number was called. Pretty cool as I was looking at new helmets. Lady at the ski shop said I can switch it for another brand if I wanted but opted to keep it.

Bluebird! Snow is excellent, chalk like on piste. Off is crusty. Excellent views today. Can see the north rim on the Grand canyon pretty clearly. Sunshine and groomers kinda day for sure. They do need snow though. Still fantastic... Demoing Nordica enforcers which I really like. May purchase after the season. Great day!!

Arrived in flag around 12am local time. Ride up was smooth as always with a pit stop a del taco for a burrito (side note…del taco has the best fries. Sounds crazy but it’s true. They’re crinkle cut). Anyway…Since snowbowl road is a pain in the ass I asked the rental car place for awd and they gave me a pretty cool jeep gladiator. No new snow today but sunny skies and highs in the 30s. Should be awesome. Stoke levels are a 10 out of 10.

Same to you coming home tomorrow

Posted up at EWR. Destination...Phoenix to pick up my kid, then drive to Flagstaff later tonight. Plan is to ski tomorrow, Thurs and Friday. Tomorrow looks like we'll be skiing under the Arizona sun while for Thurs and Fri it's looking like snow... forecast is calling for 1 to 3 for Thur and same for Friday. Should be fun. Pic from last year below!

Beautiful pics again. Glad you guys had fun

Beautiful shots today sir

Arms of an angel? No I heard it and almost started crying

Nothing says stoke like “Ba ya da….da da da da……da da…….ba da da”. At least it wasn’t beauty and the beast like yesterday. props. Even if it was it raining I wasn’t getting there since I didn’t get to bed until 3:30. So Im selfishly glad it was raining as it gave me an excuse to stay in bed

Super fucking human. incredible

Same! I don’t remember it though 😔

I think I speak for the masses when I say what would have made us happy is that they let you go. Sending you back was dumb.

Better than expected day today. In the house was JFDan, TP4, Law, Ben, MBike, Glenn, Schif, Boo, Nancy and lots of others. First run down NMDW was a carpet. 9.6 out of 10 on the blue scale. Was so nice we did it twice. The base on NMDW is huge. At one point you can probably touch the lift with your ski pole. No features... just NMDW in all it's glory. Challenge wasn't as good but not bad. It got bumpy right quick with race team and the ski patrol sled games. Curzis cabin to chute was anther really nice run with a little lip action on the right side of chute to spice it up. As the morning went in the snow loosened up... spring like etc. Cloudy with comfortable temps to start and the sun came out which was nice. Lines were a non issue. Good day today!

The “mute getting silly” shot could make the cover of the next PASR…The Magazine. I’ll put a word in to the editorial staff

I do. I’ll get back there.

Nope. Grad school. Either way Arizona is home way from home at this point. Just home at some point

Next week. they're reporting a foot over the last 3 days 😀

Because I wanted to ski and be outside. It was nice out. Doesn’t mean I like it. There was no choice. have fun today

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

Salty are you getting commission for the $200 add on? No one wants that crap

I’m good

Well I'm not giving them 60 bucks. I wish blue was open 😞

Anyone know of our pass is good for anything at cambelback. I may go there later. It's beautiful out
