mbike-ski

GREAT morning conditions...the snow and my legs deteriorated quickly tho and left about 2 hours /13 runs after catching the 3rd or 4th chair. wierd not seeing doug there on a saturday am, guess he and chippy had other plans- tr please... no mtbr's, nastar glenn or brent, skiid solo except for a few runs showin a dude the early hidden cord stash on middle sidewinder before the park peeps rolled in, that and main st had the best snow. was the first down paradise after the groomer, so sweet but it went to sh!t quickly. you shoulda said hey nox, saw the gti there, couldnt rememeber if it was yours or bmttroubles'..mc sounds like bikercross was cool, you got some big bawlz. when i checked out the course the rollers into the table top looked like it would eat some riders for sure, i definatly got to find some vid on that since i had to leave early for house stuff...its a tossup between the early runs and the smuttynose IPA as far as hightlights of the day go - mbike out oh yea and you know its gonna be a good day when you get called an asshole by one of the groomers on your second run.... he was halfway crossing homestretch below the falls and wanted me stop rather than just ski wide right way behind him

hahahaha...he was asking about you last night and was bummed to hear about AtomicJeff

ouch...i guess so 35+

i went tubing once with our church group and wished i was skiing the whole time...

got up there late and only did 4 runs - felt OK for the first time back in thegates. I need to learn how to start, makes all the difference between a good and bad run. Pretty easy set. No speaker or announcements working - they didn't even have telcom set up in the shack, sign ups were in the starters hut. best time was the third run at 26.47 but i didn't see the pacesetters time posted and nothing up yet on the site. the one guy whos there every week (Jerry?) was running 21-22's. SNow all over the mountain was nice tonight tho and they were blowing the sh!t out of evrything except switchback. Frees skiid with Nastar Glenn after who just got back from Park City last night, tomorrrow should be sweet...I'll be battling the schools after work skiing with the kids tommoorow night

any dirty ole nastard's skiing tonight?

Me and a few other old farts are talking about a trip around that same time

Again didn't catch any pasr/mtb folks, i think toast blew by me on lower tp though. crunchy cord and ruts were the features of the day, snow was LOUD! it was softening up a bit when i left at 9:30. best snow was on main street again today - big ole turns at speed made the merge roulette a blast, didn't even ski challenge as the upper section looked like sh!t from the chair. might take a run back up later as the bumps look like they'll be juicy when they soften up. get out there its a beautiful day!

wow...Jeff, sorry to hear the news, take care and heal up fast, are you at muhlenerg?

let the winter season begin!

and theres a monster booter at the charlie brown christmas tree...

Any body in the know if theyre running the NASTy-AR again and if its going to be the same night/times (Thurs/Sun) and when they might be starting? I need to confirm some event dates and would hate to miss Thursday nights - couldn't find anything on the web site....

wtf is sky top? never mind, i can't believe they list that as a trail....

Thanks for the insight Ski4food, myself and a few friends have bought into units at hope lake lodge based on the terrain, price and potential of the mountain, I think your right on...

A liitle late out of the gate this morning - had the office Christmas party last night. it made for a a bode-ful morning, props to him for killing it feeling like that -i was on slo-mo criuse control and skii'd with another mtb'r Kurt and his son. conditions are all covered in previous posts, only did one barnies, wasn't feelin' it today inthe ice bumps. a cool little tree bonk hit and little air turns off the lip of the trough on the right of lazy mile were the highlites of the day since doug wouldn't bust a rime. We all got a nice critique of our twin tip graphics from nastar glenn...started my saturday morning breakfast routine (since everybidy else mentioned it) of eating a bacon/egg/cheese on a bagel and a coffee from the lodge on the way home..time to light a fire and vegitate with mrsSnowbunsk...

shout out to dr D! alright, for a family with 5 sets of skis and 1 board i figured its about time i start doing some basic tuning and waxing. between last spring and now i have aquired a basic tune kit, iron and vises from closeouts/sac/the bay...now all i need is some wax! what do you recommend dr d to get me started - rec skiers with 3 of us being hack nastar regulars, thanks!

OK, I got the poop - but not neccessarily crap...rode the lift with a guy who was on his second day of breaking in his new SOMA rc4's, short and simple is the centerline of the boot is rotated a few degrees out (toe out / heels in) in a more natural stance than traditional. makes a certain amount of sense i guess...Bobert540 keep us updated how its working for ya

damn i'm bummed...got some house stuff i need to take care of today so i can't make it up...maybe tommorrow

uh huh... after a few minutes of surfing i didn't find what kind of voodoo the soma fiscser boot is using

curious (and dumb) ......what does that mean?

your hazy memory is spot on...but don't forget come around

probably be heading up with my daughter some time friday afternoon, maybe early saturday...

nick do you know what size ski are you looking for? there were some k2 pipe piste tm skis with skins on sac yesterday (?) but they were like 163's - seemed too short. you may want to check backcountryoultet.com, as there were also some black diamond deals floating around

.....bump........pssshhhhhHHHH! (results - you know, like the crash of a cymabal) he sucks
