yea, i was lookin at temps out west this week, cause i was debating flying out to SLC to maybe ski some alta then maybe head to PC to see if i can catch some dude of the ski races. When i saw the weather with temps in the 70s at Alta, i immediatly said NO WAY! The high today here is 38, probaly low-mid 30's up in the Poconos

How deep is your base depth now?

It varies, supposedly up to 87" at the summit, 46" at the base.

 

We've got $20 lift tickets starting 4/1, when part of the place closes so the grizzlies can wake up in peace.

 

(I hope they know they are supposed to sleep until then -- I was wondering what to do if I encounter one on this 3 mile trail that has a bunch of blind corners and some narrow spots.)

btw sib i never got to tell you i like the newst house pic in ur sig. that looks like a really nice place.

Thank you. It is still a "work in progress" -- not quite finished garage and kennels yet -- and need to do landscaping (we have just dirt under all that snow) -- and then we need to finish the basement. Basement = guest suite, play room, and ski tuning/work shop.

I've got a spray can of bear repellant in a holster on my belt when I'm in bear country. Of course, that's for our black and brown bears, not grizzlies. Probably won't work on something that would laugh at a shot gun blast between the eyes.

I've got bear spray as well, but I can't see me hooking it to my belt -- what if I fell? And, do you come to a stop, throw down the poles, unhook the can, and spray the bear? I think I am lunch by that time! Seems a choice between keep on going FAST or .... death?
