RidgeRacer Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Hey all Coming to you live from the tram (aka quad) of a resort not located in Wyoming and not called Jackson Hole. This thread will not contain epic photos like the Jackson Hole thread and I did not eat a bagel and steeze. I did not ride a bus filled with French tourists either. Conditions here are not terrible. The crowds are not crazy and the weather is not uncomfortable. I'm not not having a good time.

RidgeRacer Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Razors Couloir is not open unfortunately so I took the NMDW hobacks for about 900 vert of mashed potatoey, snow cone goodness. Back to the tram to head over to Switchback amphitheater.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Switchback was the best I've skied it all season.. Wahaahooey! I thought I just heard avy control bombs in the distance until I realized it was someone's car backfiring in the parking lot. Oh lordy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Just ran into Han Solo aka Indiana Jones at slopeside. Apparently he has a mug here. Said he couldn't make Jackson this year cause he wanted to be here. Sidewinder is really good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thin cover signs at the top of challenge although I can't figure out where it's thin. Who do I need to know to get into Razors? People are skiing it but it's closed. I freaking post on paskiandride.com dammit let me in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 OK Razors is open and it's terrible. Close it back up. Best way to describe it would be like skiing through a monster truck rally track covered in the crushed ice from the ice machine built into my father's refrigerator door. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momskeeztoo Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Getting ready to leave. Things getting a tad mashed potatoey for me. Did get plenty of good runs in despite the rain this morning. It is getting windy and a bit colder. Razors closed all day. Looks like someone from race team is trying to make it faster. He has this thing on his back that's like a big hairdryer. Blow drying the snow, and spraying it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Ugh. Was thinking I could actually make it out early tomorrow, but does not sound worth it. Can't say it is a surprise with the weather we have been having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Ski2Live those are normal pocono conditions just go matter of fact go Saturday and Sunday. Gotta go consecutive days season is short. It will be fine. Season is way to short to be a fence sitter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Going to CB Sunday with a friend. Only question is if I double down and go Sat AM to Blue as well. Or perhaps go to Skillz Sat. Surprised to see no weekend thread here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 No weekend thread cause I'm in Jackson hole. Look for one next Thursday or Friday. Ok bus arriving in Teton village. Happy Friday all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momskeeztoo Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm here now. Kind of eh. Frozen cord mixed with piles of loose granular. Razors closed for racing. Much colder than it's been. Hopefully they can blow snow all weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
