Popular Post RidgeRacer Posted February 22 Popular Post Report Posted February 22 Fun day today got to the lot around 7:10 with a few people there already. I think a few people like me thought roads would be way worse than what they were. In the house was everyone except GSS, Toast, Schif and a few others. After parading my wife's fancy umbrellas in the lot we made it to the turnstiles around 7:38. Snow conditions were wild today. Off road skiing is probably the way to describe it. It's almost as if the soft snow from the warm temps wasn't fully groomed smooth last night / this morning. Choppy, bumpy, lumpy etc. Free fall was the best run for sure but certain runs were borderline treacherous if you got too much speed. Give it a 3.5 out of 10 overall. After skiing I grabbed a summit s'mores latte and planned to go home and watch the mens hockey gold medal game. Since blue kept flashing the score on the board at the race shack I said f it and watched the rest of the second period and all of the 3rd at the bar, then we all watched overtime and the gold medal winning goal from Dirtwolfs phone in the lot. Party atmosphere for sure and after the game winning goal, USA pride flowed through the lot like the miller lattes into red solo cups. The snow fall was pretty much non existent and what happens tonight is anyone's guess. Either way...fun day. USA USA... 7 2 1
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Nice report and considering the conditions and watching sports glad I didn’t go. Tomorrow AM will be interesting I’ll try to figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze very very early tomorrow. 1 1

AngryHugo Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Today was pretty ok. I was hoping for a powder day but got a mushy slop day. The snow was exhausting to push through. We had a fun hang afterwards, with conversations alternating between modern aviation and The Brady Bunch. 3

saltyant Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 I did 3 runs and almost quit like @AtomicSkier, sat in the lodge for 10 minutes and heard people cheering about sports puck @mute1080 as opposed to sportsball so got super stoked and went back out for a few more runs and TCS was certainly ROTD. Unbelievably smooth while other trails were full of slop, crud, a little snert, and were just plain dogshiet. TCS wins best run at da True Blue today along with whoever won a medal for sports puck. Sadly the bottom half of TCS where I sighted @enjoralas and @pops, but not @Enjoralescousin was atrocious and was very uneven perder with lots of people converging into one area making it slightly challenging to tackle, even moreso than the very difficult black diamond preceding AKA TCS. Also ran Dis and the first half was aight, til you proceed to the second half and then back to the freaking mine field. Parking lot scene was dope, discussed rad fighter pilot experiences, future heli skiing adventures, and even @Nipples running 1,000 miles in a single day or something like that. Overall I rate the day 6.396/10.001 2 1
JFskiDan Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Weird snow both yesterday and today. not unfun, but kinda unpredictable, i guess is the description. Coming soon was probably my fav. or maybe just not as weird as the other stuff. was hoping for a little more snow for opening, but that didnt happen. good lot session, fun to see USA win the hockey game. 4

mute1080 Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Watching USA on the big screen in the parking lot was way better than conditions today 6 1 1
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Sounds like fun but why no pics of the umbrellas? 2 1
Schif Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Snow doesn't sound grate but I'm glad everyone had fun. I've been home with the flu since Friday. I will have to make up for this by grabbing some midweek turns this week. 3
