Riley, where did you ski? We've gotten a whole lot of dick and squat out here in CO.
All the resorts I'm aware of that are open are on man-made.
Send some our way!
Copper Mountain - man made but it was spectacular groomed skiing. Perfect for teaching my kids and i was back on skis for the first time in almost two decades so it was perfect for me as well- I think i am over boarding - so nice not to have to sit down and hop around on one foot -really really love the new Parabolic skis...lol...first time I ever used them and I was better after 2 days than I was ever was on 2x4s..yayayaya
Skiing 165 parablics - last time I skiis i was i was on 225s!!!
You are ons of the boys TR..
But let me add . Boys and girls!!
yayaay

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. They forecast Sandy demolishing New York almost a whole week out with erie accuracy on all counts. I think forecasters have made leaps and bounds in the past decade or so. I hope they're wrong at least in terms of the precip amounts. No one needs 250 mills in 3 days! I bet you guys also hope they're off in freezing levels eh?

Step-in snowboarders only sit down when they're tired. We don't run no "strappy Nelsons"...Those guys missed the boat. Poor bastards.

I still love Boarding - dont get me wrong - I hadnt touched skis, except for one alpine traverse, in 16 years or more.
But the new skis are awesome - I had 5 days with no falls and that dont happen with boarding.
I have used those kick in bindings years ago - wondering where they went...they were good.
But what did me in a bit for boarding is the fact that twice last year i almost tore every ligament in my knee - pushing up on the lift line I hit a stretch of ice and the board went one way and my knee tried to go another way - never have i felt the anatomy of my knee like that,,,lol
And I'm tired of imagining i am going to buy a split board..lol - time to hit the back country.

When I worked at Squaw Valley in 1980, we had a good 6' base by New Years day. A few days later we got hit by the Pineapple Express and it rained continuously for 3 days. The whole East Face of KT-22, Reddog and Reddog Ridge climax avalanched. It took out most of the lower lift towers of Olympic Lady and ruined a lot of buzzez that winter. There were 4' water erosion channels on most of the Mountain Run. This winter could shape up to be something similar IMO.

Here in SoCal, the combination rain guage / squirrel feeder is showing about an eighth of an inch, so we're getting the hell hammered out of us too.
