Dayum it was nice! The pow was excellent, the snow was nice til about 2:30. The chairs stopping and starting and breaking, normal-ish I guess...

If anyone saw me with Rossi Brigades (JP auclair crowbars?), I saw you too! haha

Damn that was fun. Met v0mdragon and he responded with "Hey youre that dick from the internet". Yes yes that was me, but we took some fun runs together. Also saw jaime... but he vanished like a ghost. Or like someone going up a chairlift. Snow at the top was perfect for charging, but I think I hit about 15-20 rocks. Oh and the snow at the bottom was umm... death?~

How was cambell?  Hoping that my 138s come on Saturday, and that I have somewhere to ski them Sunday that isn't going to destroy my new(to me)babies.

I was there, rainier was EPIC!  I got some hefty scratches in my base, and I also rain in to a bolder covered in pow.  (pealed my tip up a little bit like a sandwich.)  The trip total for driving came in at 7 hours....

Fucking sick day. Hiked all the way up to the Queen for some ridiculous pow, full-on white room on opening day is a good thing!

I want more!

Oh I forgot to ask which one of you tards was skiing pow in a level 1 tall t. I mean really? Seriously?

I guess thats why crappy steeze monster 5k outerwear is popular, because hell, it works  better than a tall tee~
