The Blue Beast is now done for 2005 and it is time to pull the Rosignal Skis out from under the bed.

Were do you guys go to ski/snowboard?

All we have here is a glorified hill called Mad River Mountain                         (Mountain-Yeah right!! )

I have also been to Snow Shoe Mountain in West Virgina, very cool

Dave goes to Seattle.

He was kinda pissed that we didn't have any snow.

catching just a little air up in killington, vt

some of the crew up in lake placid, ny

BOING!!!

I can't friggen wait!!!!  I didn't go once last season.   :x   I usually go at very least a half-dozen times.

so i spent all last winter living within a two hour drive of mt.hood, a three hour drive from batchlor, and a hour drive from the carnie park on 20.  I had the coolest mountian rig, a 87 trooper II  on 31's with a rack to haul snowboards.  and the only times I hit the mountian was when i was in socal up at bigbear.

You wanna hit Mt. Baker this year davipu?

as soon as my board catches up to me I'll go.

OMG OMG OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!  *snow*

I was in Denver last weekend and 2 resorts are open already (not completely).  So Cal resorts are testing out their snow machines and getting ready!!



Me at Heavenly in Tahoe a couple winters ago:


Snowed in late november here in so cal last year:




A record snowfall year, hope this winter is just as awesome!


We ski mostly at a little ghetto resort in so cal called Mountain High.  It's small, and is completely overrun by thug snowboarders.  Seriously, if you wanted to see snowboarding's equivalent of squids, this is the place.  But it is a super easy drive to get there (45 mins) and early season passes are $250.  Unfortunately, we get a little snow, and everyone kid in LA that has ever seen the X-games comes up to learn to snowboard.

Get the freaking job in Lynnwood so you can go party with Ryan.

Yeah!  Since someone else never does.  

I snowboarded about 13 days last year (not bad for a flat lander).  The last three of which were at Whistler  where there was NO FREAKIN' SNOW!   :x

This year, I'm hitting up Utah first.

There was no snow around here last year...  Friggen sad turn out.

I'm hoping we get snow this year...  If not, there will be trouble.  :guns:

Don't think I'll get to ski much this year, but then again it depend on where I wind up and whether I have a job or not.  :dunno:   Last year I skied about 8 times and maybe 2 times the year before.  I used to race so I could get out 3+ times a week.

I'm actually trying to sell at least one pair of skis because 3 is just too many when I don't have a job and don't ski as much.  Anyone interested in a pair of 180cm Atomic BetaRace 9.20's?  About 5 years old but well maintained

I tried to go out on Saturday... I was just going to put on the 17T before I did... and it took me too long.

I am so excited, I can hardly stand it.  I skied probably a dozen days last year, and would have a lot done more if the mountains hadn't been closed so darn much.  Jen's record season came at the expense of our season, I'm afraid.  Damn pineapple express.

I check the weather reports here every day.  Finally started snowing in earnest this weekend, and looks like it'll keep it up.

Update:  I just checked the conditions at Crystal for, like, the 5th time today.    They're gonna open this Friday!

(It seems to me like a lot of us our gonna end up being skiers or borders.  Seems like the sort of thing that makes motorcycles appealing (speed, thrill, corners, whatever) are the things that also make skiing and snowboarding appealing.)

OMFG!!  

Steven's Pass (aka my mountain) has NOTHING for snow.  

My mountain, too.  Except I don't have a season's pass for Stevens this year, and Crystal's actually gonna be a buck cheaper at Crystal.

And Stevens does too have snow.  Just not as much: http://www.stevenspass.com/webcam/

At least I have somewhere to go that is 45 min. from my house

Snoqualmie is about 45 minutes from Seattle.  It sucks though.  (But not as much a yer hill.  300 feet vertical? :lol:)

Same here...  45 minutes for crappy snow (Snoqualmie)...  1.5 hours in two different directions for good snow (Steven's || Crystal)...  3+ hours for great snow (Baker)...  and 4+ hours to great snow, great beer, and Cuban cigars (Whistler!!)!
