Has everybody gone skiing?
No posts yet. Here in New England
it's getting ready for a liquid snow even, with maybe some of it freezing on to make the roads really smooth. You'd understand the humor of that last if you knew New England roads in February. |

Well, on the other hand, here at Tahoe we have received at least several inches of fresh snow, if not more, everyday for two weeks now, the powder skiing at Tahoe now is just plain phenomenal. With more than 10" of freshes fell last night, we are not just going powder skiing but "powder driving," off the main roads, as well. Blizzard, powder, powder-skiing, fun stuff, IS |

You'd understand the humor of that last if you knew New England roads in February. Here in the Seattle area, we've had lots of problems getting to the skiing. The passes have been closed for avalanche cleanup. Up to a few feet a day for the last several days. Snoqualmie pass has only been open a few hours since Monday. Hopefully, Stevens will be clear tomorrow morning. To bad I have a class in the morning. The backside will be bottomless. |

You'd understand the humor of that last if you knew New England roads in February. Leaving this afternoon for the traditional "ski the super bowl" Sunday. Boyne Mountain has a trail named the "Super Bowl". I ski it on the day when most of the rest of country is busy watching large men lie around in a big pile. Whatever floats yer boat. BTW, my usenet feed was dorked overnight. Not sure how widespread the problem was, but I was assuming that was the reason for the lack of activity. |

That coating ice in New England is just awful. One morning when I
lived in Jersey I awoke to a THICK coating of that stuff on everything, followed by 8 inches of snow. My backyard was a large hill. It was an Winter Olympic year. I decided to carve out my own personal bobsled track. I used a rail sled. The track ended with me careening into a 8 ft. high snow drift. School was canceled. I spent all day out there. It was the coolest thing I ever did as a kid. |

But today is the third day I can't get to work this week since we've had 100 inches in five days. Not being able to get to work is better than not being able to get to skiing. Too bad I don't have what it takes to live in Jackson Hole, or I could ski some Wild Snow Moguls. But I'll take what I can get. So far today, one guy has been brave enough to break trail up past my house. The moguls must be getting pretty big up there. Speaking of which, my guide friend from Jackson is showing up today for some skiing. I'm really looking forward to seeing him and discussing how he handles the Wild Moguls in the wilderness. -klaus |
