turning your orbit around

or... the utter enormity of the task

deep day

Posted by Hello


wow, folks. i mean, wow. this pic doesn't really do it justice, since i took it with my crappy camera phone, but this morning was all about big time powder. we're talking 16 inches at the summit. we're talking heavy, high moisture snow with a serious layer of windslab on top that gave you much more float than you'd normally get with heavy snow. we're talking sustained 50 mph winds at the top of storm peak. and we're talking the longest stretches of untracked, thigh high turns i maybe have ever had inbounds at a resort. sweeeeeeeet.

but, really, the main reason i'm putting this photo up here is to make rob overman jealous.

willis,

willis, willis, willis, what can I say. It is a very sad day here in the great, giant oven that is North Carolina. I truly wish that i could be there and enjoy all the fresh snow and good times on the hill with you but alas, your mamma rolled over on me in bed last night and I havent been able to move since. If anyone sees this please send help fast...i dont know how much longer i can survive like this. Bring twinkies...maybe we can coax her off of me with twinkie goodness...turning blue now....
