    Yes, yes, yes.. it will be much colder soon and time to do snowbord in America.  I will come with sisiter Jaya Singhvi and we can make donuts and go to blue mountain.  soon soon soon and I will toast a goat in happiness

    Good to hear I heard during the monsoons it was raining men and your sister Jaya Singhvi was in heaven…rumor has it around Gulmarg hill station and the Tobyhanna Dunkin’ Donuts that her goat curry and rice brings all the boys to the yard..

    Well, if you read the article, he says he confined himself THIS YEAR to chair 4 and selected a route based on conditions, crowds, etc. I think it was a choice of 3 or 4 possibles but then the same all day. I did ride chair 2 with him once because 4 had a delayed start. I know otherwise the runs he probably used are the ones I generally avoid because of nuts like him. Fred Frost, much quoted in the article, and now 83, skis everywhere. In the past, when he was usually in the top 5, he even went off piste in trees. 

    Hopefully this guy got it out of his system. They put up tons of signs this year about skiing too fast. I'm sure it was him. In the past, they didn't give a shit. They would say they did, but only occasionally pulled passes after collisions, no signage. Certainly no policing.

    Hi I didn’t read the article…back when I was 25 I skied as fast as I could even 30…now I wanna make it to the next ski day..enjoy myself…between a hard head on collision I had with a 5th grader (both of our faults) and just being older more risk averse I’ve dialed it back and I have a blast everyday I ski and I’ll pussyfoot down blue mountain and Jackson hole black diamonds if unsure of conditions..survival skiing..I used to not give two shits about conditions just send it…and I can say all that but some days things just click and I have a lot of extra spring in my step and let em run more…I know this last Jackson hole trip cause I was down 15-20 pounds from prior year I had a lot more giddy-up for 2-3 hours till I ran out of steam.  
     

    As long as he’s slowing down for the slow zones.

    And with a lot of vert/lift. It would take 14 hours to get 84k vert at Blue. 

    I’ll have to dig up my old stats but in high school I’d ski 7:30-5 at blue with a lunch break and usually be in the 50s or 60s.  I beat 70k at Stowe before 7:30-4.  Biggest day since I joined PASR was 61,000 at Jackson hole 1/25/07 and that was a 9-4 day with lunch break and I had spaghetti at the Casper lodge. A lot of runs that day off the gondola, 10 minutes up and under three minutes down 2800 vert mostly straight down Sundance gully and that’s not when I was afraid to haul ass.

    That is insane. I bet he doesn’t ride certain lifts or ski certain runs because he’ll lose vert.  I’ve stopped caring and and half my ski days out west seem to be pow days and then it’s total quality over quantity and groomer days you rack up 20k in 3 hours.

    @saltyant my sources are telling me the snowmaking ponds are robust and this isn’t subjective or objective or even anecdotal from the raindrops pitter pattering on the window sill it’s fact..and please don’t go chasing waterfalls..

    Yeah, I bring the boots home every time. Two or three times their fire sprinklers went off and there was water coming down from the ceiling. I don't care if my skis get wet, but the boots are another thing. 

     

    Finished 83rd on the vert list.

    You hit a million?

    I mostly ski alone. I might ski a run or share a lift with others I know, but, like me, they don't like "pack skiing."

    People party on the mountain in costume and get drunk. I exit when they start dong stupid stuff.

    My locker room buddies are all busy emptying their lockers. Most are, like me, old as dirt, because there's an 8 year waiting list and you're going to be pretty old before you think you want to pay that kind of money, then you have to wait for one of us to die.

    One couple I ski with is back in Florida, emptying their house so they can move here in May. But I expect we'll see them all year round once they move. I guess other than them, everyone else is an actual LOCAL. Like, I'll see them at the grocery store. It's not a metro area. People don't vanish.

    How much does whitefish charge for a locker?  I enjoy a combination of skiing alone and with others..I give you major props at your commitment to skiing and sharing it with others.

    Northstar has the Ritz right ? Love that place just for pre ski breakfast alone, one time my family was having a moment but nothing a Ritz breakfast can't solve.

    Props on the cross country, truckers on 70 were telling war stories about getting caught in the wind a couple days back and it must have been wild.

    I had dinner at the Ritz at Northstar with my bro in laws crazy family and my parents scolded me for ordering expensive menu items at an expensive restaurant that a multi millionaire was treating us to.  Hey they put a lot of time and effort into dry aging a steak and shipping Maine lobster to Tahoe..the least I can do is enjoy some of the fruits of my bro in laws dickhead dads labor, bro in laws little sister also has Fat titties.  
     

    @C1erArt are you skiing anywhere else?

    Superstar lift closes on the 13, wonder if they’re going to try to keep superstar open past that? Doesn’t look like the usual glacier they have this time of year on the webcam. 

    They’re replacing the superstar chair and focusing their late spring skiing in the canyon.  Kyle have you skied since you moved to Virginia?

    I have a case of old man back so without the top gear conditions are kinda irrelevant. 

    I cannot believe that's it for me on the blue season as it just seems so fast. It doesn't seem to matter if I go nearly everyday the season is too fast. 

    It was an honor and pleasure to ski and ride with you all..........going to be mad interesting to see what they can open for this weekend.

    JLaw you’re a real one..you’re part of the glue that bonds together our row at Blue and PASR and you show up mad early most days and can relate or at least listen to my Doug Lyfe problems..if you wind up with a statue or bronze plaque or some additional Mountain Dew code red or some steezy iced tea from Whole Foods or Fresh Market, it’s cause the stoke marketing is rising.  
     

    Always a pleasure skiing with JLaw..and even on the days I miss, C1er often takes shots of him skiing from the lift..

    Sweet report..I have to checkout some of these places..the area you visited is sort of a Bermuda Triangle of places I haven’t been.  What kind of rental car do you have?  Coeur d’Alene I used to hear about a lot when I lived in Bozeman and a guy I went to college with took a job in Hamilton Montana and Lookout was his local.  
     

    Gonna look a map of that area.
