My came to an end at the end of February. The many wonders of living in the Midwest. But this winter to, for the first time, venture to two new resorts. One of the in Iowa, a bit bigger as the one I have in St Louis. The other one, Granite Peak. That was the highlight of the winter. Was able to take my wife with me as well. Great experience. Now, looking to perhaps move to Denver, but first: any civil engineering firm in Denver looking for an engineer with more than six years of experience?
Everything in the midwest is pretty much closed, we had a shit season. Debating driving back to Breck for a quick 3 day session middle of april, depending on if they get anymore snow.
do not talk about ending the season noooooooooooooooooooooooo !
i want snow duh !! :embarrased1:
so its left two weekend 1 and 8 april 8 is the end day
make me sad
Windham, Blue Mountain, Killington, Okemo, Plattekill, Magic Mountain, Sugarbush, Jay Peak and Jackson Hole.
Only total of 18 days, but more days than I normally get.
It was my first time snowboarding this year (first time on the mountains in forever), and I got to go twice. Tons of fun and just bought my first board and bindings. Unfortunately, being in the midwest means everything is done so no riding until next year.
You won't hear from the PNW because the volcano season will go through the entire year. Volcano season is glacier riding on the different volcanos in the cascades.
Spring chuting season is just getting going here. Looks like there will be plenty of snow to get stuff done through June. Chances are I will be done before that. At some point, waking up at 3am to get a peak done safely versus 8am to go ride my mountain in warm weather. Well the latter starts to win out.
Silverton Splitfest is in a couple of weeks, after that I usually start dividing my time between snow and warm weather activities. Then move on the summer stuff until the snow starts flying again.
Sadly, the weather in Ohio really gave us a shitty year, but I also had my season cut short because my car was stolen from my apartment and my snowboards were in the back. Car was found, but boards are gone :crying:
Well, guess I'll be buying all new stuff again. People fucking suck man..
Never made it up that far, sadly. I rode probably the least amount I have in years this year (work really gets in the way, plus weather didn't really help). Farthest north I made it was SnowTrails.
We definitely need a good season next year. Mad River was too hyped and spent way too much money on a (IMO) shitty new lodge that there is no way there aren't in the red this season. Guess we will see how mother natures treats Ohio next year!
I appreciate the love @timmytard and everyone else! It's been a nightmare, and anyone who has dealt with insurance knows how that goes. Didn't post to try and grovel sympathy, but definitely appreciate the love of the community!
Thankfully I had full insurance on my car and everything inside will be covered on renter's insurance so now it's the fun part of trying to itemize everything. Hopefully when it's all said and done, I will be on here with the obligatory "I don't know what to buy" post that everyone knows and loves oh so well >
All of this to say, winter has come to an end for this Ohioan. Thankfully they left me my new motorcycle :wink:
After I pay down summa my cc debt, Pretty sure that once I've got the Harley I can start to enjoy,.. maybe even look forward to, the arrival of spring & summer! :laugh:
Closing weekend for me is April 29/30th, then I'm off to Sunshine (Banff) in May for a CASI course! > Might have to head to the slush cup on May 24th...
If you have any free days before or after the course hit me up and I'll see if I'm free to ride! And Slush cup is Monday the 22nd, I'll definitely be there :grin:
I have to go back to work in a couple weeks. Been on vacation for 3 months, not long enough. I will be off every other week for 6 days though and plan to ride every day I can until bachelor closes on may 29th.
My local hills are closed as of Sunday. My last day was Friday because it got too thin and too wet. There's still a trip to UT set for end of first week in April. But I'm on to other business. I've just finished getting my motorbike in order. And I just took delivery of a brand new custom 6'8" retro fish to shred summer waves on.
My season ends this Friday when I finish a week here at Mammoth Mountain - fly home Saturday.
At least I'm going out in style - fantastic conditions amid all day sun. I actually got a sunburn on my scalp from sitting on the patio to eat lunch while wearing no headwear.
Mammoth will be open until July - you can always come back >
