Big Bear 3-24-11

My rule of thumb is when the conditions are good, go to Bear Mt
(because the elevation is slightly higher and the terrain is more
challenging) and when the conditions are bad, go to Snow Summit
(because they groom better, they handle crowds better and there is
more variety in the trail network). Given the storm earlier in the
week and the sudden small storm last night, I figured good conditions
and headed to Bear Mt. Unfortunately, the snow was wet when it fell,
and then it got cold later in the night. It looked like powder, but
it was better for making snowmen than skiing on. Other than the mess
underfoot, it was a beautiful day - blue sky, cold breeze, temps a
little below freezing.

I tried to ski it like powder, but the sticky internal mass made that
impossible. It was better after it had been hacked up a bit, so I
could make turns in the scrambled eggs and run straight through the
mayonnaise. I even tried a couple of runs of short-swing turns down a
snow-board glide-path. That got some compliments from other skiers
which surprised me - no one ever said that sort of thing to me
before. Maybe it was because everyone was having trouble with the
conditions.

The final straw was when Chair 9 broke down - the slow-down mechanism
at the top of the lift stalled and the attendant had to push chairs
around by hand. They ran it long enough that way to unload the
passengers and then shut it down. To add insult to injury, they
started up the old Chair 1, which only goes up about 2/3 of the way
now.

After noon, I headed over to Snow Summit. The snow there was pretty
much the same, but it had been groomed and skied out more so it was
more enjoyable. Chairs 1 and 6 were not operating, which made for a
few liftline delays on Chair 2, where I stayed most of the time except
for a couple of escapes on Chairs 3 and 7.

Chains were required on SR38 going up from 5 miles below Onyx Summit,
over and down in to the village. I kept them on because the road up
the BM parking lot was icy, although it was melting out even in the
early morning and the "Chains Required" signs were not posted. By the
time I moved over to SS, the lots and streets were bare, and the road
was clear except for a little mel****er on the trip back down in the
afternoon.

I skied Whistler today, and you skied ****. I win again. Contact
info? Amazing how easy I got across the border. How embarassing for
you.

What are you talking about? I only see two posts!

Followup:

I was taking a break at BM yesterday morning when Chair 9 had its
troubles. When I came out and headed for Chair 9, the patroller
closing the line said that Chair 1 would open soon, and sure enough
they were already cranking it up and clearing snow off the chairs, so
I slogged uphill 50 feet or so and got in the little line. They
started loading as soon as the top attendant rode up. I ended up
paired with a talkative 50-ish blonde who told me about a deal better
than a season pass - volunteer 2 days a month at the US ARC facility
at Bear Mountain and get a season pass for free. The only
requirements are a current CPR card and a ski ability test early in
the season.

I found their website:

He's a stalking wack job, a pathological liar, a dickless coward, and
an all around asshole.
But stick around. Richard Henry will call your local cops and falsely
accuse you of committing crimes, or stalk you to your work and lie
about you, or organize campaigns of real world harassment, just like
he has done to me.
Now go **** yourself, asshole.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA
If I'm such a "non-entity", why does this dickless coward hide in
anonymity, lie about me, and take cheap shots?
Hilarious!!!!! Dickless Lloyd humiliates himself again!

How embarassing. You ought to read more, Bob. I'm talking about
being in Canada. You know, the country I'm not supposed to be able to
enter because you claimed to have told a bunch of lies to Canadian LE?
How humiliating for you. And then you humiliate yourself again.
