GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Lazy doesn't even look that bad in the picture just stay to the left or right. Not gonna be any pow shots on Widowmaker this weekend . . . Wow just wow as you can see grooming in warm temperatures is no good. At least it will get down to near freezing tonight.

enjoralas Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 They prob won't have everything open. They can also do some creative grooming or have runs open with thin cover signs. I've done spring skiing before where walking was required. Depending on the next few days melting and crowds blue could very well throw in the towel early. Everything is tentative although they have events planned for next weekend. How's the base holding up on razors and sidewinder? Razor and challenge look good from the lift, I didn't ski them. Looks like the groomed out the bumps on Challenge and a portion of them (if not all) on Barneys as well. I didn't ski switchback either but didn't see anything that was an issue from the top of the slope or the bottom part into Main st. Main at looks good, skied Come Around to Chute to Lower and all had decent cover. They won't be giving any lessons on the valley school hill, that's for sure. And yeah, Lazy was skiable, you could get around it but the patches were at least half the width of the trail, and together with the thin cover between them probably several hundred feet long. Lots of beginners on Lazy that need the trail width. Falls had good cover, sidewinder looks good from the lift. Skipped Paradise and NM/DW. Packing it in after only a few runs. Don't know if it's my skill level or equipment (probably mostly skill) but these conditions just kill me. Tire out the legs too quickly, and I think my skis are too short/skinny – and I'm too damn fat – for this soft slushy snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah spring snow can be a leg burner and glad I'm not the only fat guy on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're an entry level package I got from Level 9 so I wouldn't have to rent all season. INOC X-carver, maker is apparently GPO. They are 160 length, 111-72-104. And I'm a real fat ass, 5'10" and 275. I'm hoping to get one more season on them before looking for something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to get one more season on them before looking for something else In my humble opinion id pick up a pair of stiffer midfat carvers of around 175cm in length over the summer. You can get good deals online. I would say longer based on your height and weight but you are still learning so 175 should be just right. You need a more stable platform as you progress...you wanna do a weight loss challenge with me this summer??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarponhead Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Considering the recent weather that don't look half bad. Please please have bumps this weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 looks ok based on the webcams. A shame they mowed down the bumps but new ones will form tomorrow when it warms up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three yesterday and I was toast. The crud was so much deeper. Of course, j got there after 1pm yesterday so that didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
