Title says it all, it's May 5th and it if you are still riding this late in the 10/11 season then check and post up! Hell, post a pic if you can (there is a pic coming tomorrow of a portable grill and a case of beer at A-basin). Enjoy the spring riding! :thumbsup:
Making my bi annual move from CA to WA or vice-versa soon. My last day will be Crystal on the 4th and then I will be skiing Mammoth, Alpine Meadows and hopefully Squaw till July 4th. And then might even go out to the red lake lodge ski area in WY if they are open till the end of july. And then its time to not ski till November.
thats good news, I will be up there the first two weeks of july.... I am excited that hood is getting all this snow.... its 100F daytime temps where I live.....
They are calling for another foot or so by Monday here. This is starting to get stupid. I just want warm slushy laps now. Hiking season may not occur this year.
I need to go take pics of Breck. At this time usually the hills are green, the rocks are showing, nope nothing. Seriously Horse Shoe bowl you can usually see rocks year round there's no rocks poking through right now.
Snowbird is still open weekends. But all the other Cottonwood Canyon ski areas still have dirty amounts of snow. I just saw on snowbirds website that they are shooting for the 4th of july. Im getting kinda sick of this weather. If its not snowing, its cloudy with flat light and you cant see shit. And if the suns out I have work! That being said, Ive celebrated every holiday since Halloween on my snowboard and I dont plan on breaking that streak monday. Goddam this addiction.
Got to learn to thoroughly enjoy every season. I love my summer sports every bit as much as I do winter riding. I am so ready for hot, dry and sunny weather to get out in some good white water and awesome camping on the river!
I got a late start this year. Have my season pass ready for next year. Been out disc golfing and camping a ton. Just not feel the same levels of love I discovered last winter. This year, I've got all my gear ready. New snowboard pants and I'll be ready for a full season without all the painful hits to income. Can use all that extra money to take trips.
Been lurking since the snow has gone. Thrilled others are enjoying all this late season snow. Be safe all. Enjoy the offseason. Eager for the boards to get post crazy again. Drama or no, Im living vicariously through all you pnw'ers and kiwis until Minnesota gets bombed by powdery goodness.
Damn you guys are already thinking about next season?! All i'm thinking about now is summer hiking, boarding, and camping! Oh and the powder i'll be riding in the morning:cheeky4:
Today was so good. Snowbird reported 4", but wind blew it around. You could find deep stuff in the sheltered areas. Face shots at the end of May. I'll take it.
Today was pretty bad conditions. Rain/mist down low, thick as shit fog up top. The new park looks good though, was able to get a couple runs through the jumps when there was a bit of a window of sun.
I'm so ready for some real summer weather, especially after today. It was so miserable making it down to the lift we just decided to hike in the little of window decent visibility that was at the top of the park.
Holy shit the snow was awesome today. One it ranks up there as one of the better powder days all year. I hiked up Mily at Brighton this morning and found super light, super fluffy snow. At the higher elevations, it was waist deep in spots. I was in and out of the white room all morning. America!
Snowbird was the tits. I saw they were having a delayed opening and thought about taking the split out. Decided against it and glad I did. It was white room all morning until it got tracked out. Dropped a couple decent cliffs nothing over 20' though. Such a fun blower day.
Timberline was a shit show today. Fucking fog and flat light and dumbass fucks with no park etiquette. Had some stupid fuck drop into the pipe midway right on top of me as I was going up the wall. Stupid high school aged dipshits dropping in front of people and crashing into each other on jumps. Took off at noon and the stupid fucking idiot holiday drivers were total incompetent pricks. Reminder of why I fucking work every holiday weekend and why I am split boarding more and resort riding less! Next week will be hiking Mt. St. Helens if I get a clear day! From here on out, it will be hiking for the turns and getting away from the dipshits.
Exactly what is was like sunday! I have not see so many fucking gapers at timberline before. The lot has been empty even on the sunny days the entire spring.
