We have a blue bird weekend right now and the ski areas are on "fire"
from Bridger Bowl's snow report:
52" storm total since Tuesday! Please carpool to the mountain this weekend as we are expecting a big crowd due to all the new snow this week.

I confess, I can probably schralp more GNAR than you can dream of.
That said (and I'm glad I got that out of the way), I'm headed to the mountain known as Okemo, the family mountain, tomorrow.
It's going to be off the charts epic. My roommate from Truckee and I are going to show La Montana Familia what's up!
Goofy 360's, awkward backflips, sick groomer turns, it's all going down! Don't f*#k with mid thirties weekend warriors, we will crush.
Oh, Lincoln Loops, you ask? Yeah, with a sweet grab.
Pictures will ensue, and make you wish you were as rad as me.

Have fun in RR Mike, weird that going sledding would turn into a clustertruck?! Hey Ekat we're actually in the coast mountains I believe here, Rockies are about 7 hrs due east, not sure what sub range Whis/blackcomb falls into maybe someone can help us.....

Oh yeah...back in California to catch up on a small (5 inch) pow dusting they had at Kirkwood.
Old Lady Having Fun
Warming up on some simple off piste
Over at Fern Ridge...had the BEST snow and trees, a few places were icy where it was narrow and every one turning in the same places.
Last run of the day, double black, Eagle Bowl, and I'm yelling at myself, point them down hill and just go! Eventually I did but of course I wanted the PERFECT line....ha, I just wanted to live.
And last but not least Ferretlegger.
Fun day fun day. Hitting it tomorrow.

Edit....just checked my lil' altimeter and got 11,800 vertical feet in today. YES!

And the fun continues... day 2
Ten fingers, this run will give me 10k vertical feet today, but it was still early, I got in just over 12k by days end, followed up by lots of Vitamin I and hot tub.
Fawn Ridge, best snow on the mountain. Some icy patches, but wonderful runs in the trees...
One more day of skiing until I return home to Santa Cruz and await some new snow in California before we head back up to Utah (Alta) and Montana (Bridger Bowl).
Looking forward to some "horizontal" time....I'm feeling this trip.

Nice Susan!!! I was at kwood on Saturday. The snow was less than prime so I ended up switching out my snowboard for some skis. HO MAN was I bad at skiing haha! Although after a couple hours I was linking turns together and having fun. I haven't had so much fun on a groomer blue run since I was 9!!!
Cool mojede!

Skiing Briham! Switched to the darkside? ;) nice. I grew up skiing. I would still go occasionally if I had some boots, but I ain't gonna drop 5 bills on a pair of boots i rarely use.

I got a GPS watch, mainly to track my running. But I wear it skiing and I'm able to transfer tracks to Google Earth. It's fun..unfortunately the satellite imagery it's tracked on was not shot when snow was on the ground. These were my tracks at Kirkwood yesterday.
The actual GPS application allows me to animate my tracks, get my heart rate, elevation and all kinds of fun stuff.
