First it was thin. It rained and drizzled my first day skiing (I didn't
bother venturing off the packed track: new skis) so I went in, took a
friend to late lunch went to see a film in Reno. Resorts weren't much
better on coverage (off piste was rock ski territory).
Slide-Rose was closed (1/2 of Rose wasn't worth the ticket).
KT was a joke. Alpine was windy (a lot of the new fallen snow just got
blown off).


I caught Bear Valley last Wed for my first day out this season. 12
inches of freshies on an adequate (barely) base,. Skied the tress all
day with only one base scratch!

I had the chance on Monday to go climbing, skiing or hiking/peak
bagging. Didn't feel like rock climbing and I couldn't persuade myself
that a tour would scratch my itch. I knew descents were out of the
question... so I went hiking instead.

Pitiful huh? But I'm poised, boards are waxed, just waiting for the
tide to come in eh? Used to get all anxious about the start of the
season, but El Nino or La Nina I seem to get the same amount of skiing
in anyway. A sunny day at a resort I consider a waste of money and even
more of time.


We'll see about the next storm.


Yes we will, I took Friday off in anticipation. I'll be at Ber. Whyn't
join me you old son of a computer program???

DMT

ps for some reason I cannot seem to get excited about web sites for
skiing. Ski porn pics do not turn me on so I guess that's it. Plus
other than gear wanking, what is there to talk about?
