GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 (edited) Nice report..Barb I’m glad you didn’t get injured during JFDans visit. He’s about to board his flight to Dallas and now you can go back to walking around your house with no pants on lol Edited February 15 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Looks like last night JFDan walked off one plane and back onto another. Plane #1 landed at Dallas at 634pm and plane #2 left Dallas at 658pm. Good thing the gates were close to each other. Woooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always considered the Gunnison flight being a problem, and i must have been a little sleepy when i thought there was another DFW-PHL flight like an hour after my scheduled flight, but second look showed that was incorrect. i spent a small amount of time trying to come up with plan B, in case i got to DFW late, but the options sucked bad. So, yeah, i was the asshole on the plane yelling at people to get thier shit together and get off the plane or get out of the way. I was going to do whatever it took to make that flight. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Gunnison to Dallas flight take off late due to weather/de-icing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 De-icing. Gunnison is a neat little airport since they re-did it, its alot like JH now, just not as over the top. So they dont have a lot of flights go out. So the people at the counter who check your bags, are the same ones that handle boarding as well. But it kinda runs at a slower pace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they also the ones that touch under your armpits with rubber gloves? I got that in Newark, the guy even joked that this was gonna me my worst massage ever. The joke was on him as my pits were sweaty. Gotta be the worst job ever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Barb Posted February 20 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 20 (edited) I am pretty sure I have a sinus infection now. Ugh. Day 9 of feeling lousy. But I have a friend here so skiing it is. I heard the last 2 days were the worst crowds people have seen here. Glad I skipped it. I left my friend at a lesson as he hasn’t skied in over 20 years, yikes. He gave me slightly different info when said he was coming. But he has a great attitude and I give him lots of credit for getting out there. Another poor visibility day. Headed right down to East River from Paradise. And to be honest it wasn’t too good down there either. Started dumping snow. After about 4 laps, I tried to find some mellow trees off the front side. Ran those a bit and now taking a break for lunch. If the visibility does not improve gonna call it a day. Snow was supposed to arrive tomorrow thru Wednesday night. Seems it’s early. Forecast is 10-20”. A few pics from the tree runs Edited February 20 by Barb 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Barb Posted February 22 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 22 Whew what a great morning! Yesterday was super warm in the high 30’s and sunny. Today the promised storm finally arrived. Webcam said 4” this morning. Been snowing hard all day. The last few days of coughing fits have left my ribs feeling like I was in an MMA match. Popped some extra strength Mucinex, loaded my pockets with cough drops and away we went. I could not believe how empty it was! I guess CB peeps don’t bother unless it’s at least 6”. Skied right onto every lift. Found some well spaced trees that had mid calf powder, they were fun. then the wind picked up and you could barely see 5’ in front of you. What it looked like at the base, you can hardly make out the lift tower 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 Skipped the resort today and did a mellow ski tour at Washington Gulch. Pretty flat, kept skins on whole time. About 8 degrees, windy, snowing and not much visibility. Was glad some snow mobile guys had been there first to lay a path for us. I am the dot in the center 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 A great day to end my skiing at Crested Butte. A day of milestones. Ski day 30, previous record was 26 and still plenty of season left. One year ago today I broke my knee. The best milestone is that I did my first steep tree run. Not a big deal for you pros, but for me it was an accomplishment. Too chicken to try with @JFskiDan but since my friends were here I felt good about it. As Dan knows, my friend Ilise is great in the trees so she guided us down. We did the trees off East River. Dan knows where they are. Before the tree run we did bumps all morning. Some pics Natalie Me. Could never get an action shot of Ilise since she is just too fast Ilise tree run I skied the top and “survived” the bottom. Natalie By far my favorite ski day of the season ❤️ 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
