Just a thread for spring skiing hype and talk. I wanna see your google tans, Hawaiian tees, do you keep your beer in a backpack or fanny pack? speaker or headphones? headband yes or no? hypheyest tricks? drugs for the big G day? Story about the time you got the most fucked up or had the most fun? etc. discuss these topics

although whistler is getting dumped on right now and we've got some pow days left yet - i am definitely looking forward to some HYPE spring laps! rocking tees, cordoroys, and sunnys. helmet always.
i've yet to experience a pond skim event so that would be a huge item off the bucket list if i can dig it this season.

Since skiing is a big part of my job I actually can say I was not feeling skiing today in Hoodcrete snow (what was once powder that just gets poured on by rain, it’s sticky not so much slushy.. and it pulls you)
Tomorrow i’m going to Bachy but heard it’s even going to be raining there! This is a reality for spring skiing in the pnw, this month of April I can see rain... lots and lots of Rain!!! :(.. at least I do have a poncho though.. it keeps me somewhat dry

Spring laps are my fav. That backseat sloppy style surfin around, beer in hand. The land and point for big jump lines, blasting through puddles and trenched out snow that seems to be almost begging to turn to water and flow into summer.
When you come up to that up rail at full speed and at the last second you see how melted out the take off is but somehow make it on. The down rails that are almost laughable heights but you still hit them anyway.
Spring just has a sort of energy to it. The warm breeze, the grass gaps, more puddles than people in the lift line. It's going off but in a way that's ever so casual in in it's excitement.
Even getting a nice ice burn on your arms or some slush down your shirt/pants.
Maybe it's that skiing is almost done. That transition in time is approaching. But something about spring laps.
I love powder and was happy March brought us the deep but man, i love me some fat spring laps.
Park laps, steeps, groomers it's all on point you say "give me winter"i say "give me spring".
