Jan 28 - everything went better than expected

[Benm]

Kept an eye on the radar and rolled the dice today. Looked like there'd be a window around 815. Got there at eight to just a sprinkle and little to no fog at the top. Conditions excellent, snow was exactly like yesterday, precip very light. Best of all the place was dead. I think it was just me and racers. 

 

Got in maybe 7-8 runs before it started raining just a little more and called it a day. 

 

No apres, so now i have to figure out what to do for a couple hours. Might head up to Scranton for new bibs since i was reminded today that these ones are no longer waterproof.

Good on you for gettin out there...If I didn't live 45min or so away I prolly would have gambled on it too...

If you don't include apres it's like going to the gym.

Major props, I heard it raining when I woke up and sleeping in was calling just way too hard. 

When I actually woke up a little bit ago I and saw it was a baby rain it was like fuck I bet it was good. 

No place finds the limits of the outerwear like Blue, so much rain, like legit rain and then it can be so ungodly windy.

Oh and just a radio station update, no progress there. Seal's 'kiss from a rose' blasting when i walked up to the gates.

Nothing says stoke like “Ba ya da….da da da da……da da…….ba da da”. At least it wasn’t beauty and the beast like yesterday.

props. Even if it was it raining I wasn’t getting there since I didn’t get to bed until 3:30. So Im selfishly glad it was raining as it gave me an excuse to stay in bed

I was stoked to hear hit me baby one more time and genie in a bottle, but very depressed to hear literally the worst song ever made ever…believe by Cher

That was playing last week.  I feel like the Centerfield song needs more play…the put me in coach song or maybe something by the Outfield.

What's wrong with Bibs ?

They own actual snow as its considerably harder to get snow down your back/pants if you eat it.

Woke up to rain in the B, thought about heading North to try to find the blue line but couldn’t find the motivation. (Shoulda gone, Belle claimed 8”). Saw a break in the hourly and radar around 1:00 and headed up. They lied, soaked to the bone after 5 tele runs, snow was great though and empty. Had fun running the little patch left of Barnies, the Sherbie Simulator lol

@skiincy is the newest member of team bib and swears by it

Bibs seem to be really popular. They make sense, no snow down your backside. The whole bathroom thing seems hard to deal with if you’re a girl.

Have to get the bibs with an easy zipper for bathroom breaks. Mine have a hidden zipper across the backside.

And enjo..when I was a kid they were called overalls..it’s all good I don’t judge the team Bib people are alright. 

[skiincy]

Once you go bib, you never go back.

i have the flylow foxy insulated bib. Previously bibs wouldn’t work well for me because of the chest/shoulders but they recently made it with more flex up top. Love that companies are like actually innovating like @Barb bottom zips

I guess I’ll look into Bibs if getting snow down my back becomes an issue.
