Where are last weekend's TRs?

[catbirdseat]

Must have been a Leavenworth tick. I didn't think Vantage had ticks.

 

How might one tell the difference? Lederhosen?

I pulled into a parking spot at Smith, cranked the sick beats, and sat on my big pad and sorted gear with my dog. Oh wait, that was everybody else

[MountaingirlBC]

mmmmmmmmm is that a Sprint? Triumph's are sooooo nice. I used to ride a Sprint but decided that climbing mountains AND riding a motorcycle was a bit cocky. Have fun with it!

Purchased two-wheeled self-medication.

 

 

TR's to come after I throw new rubber on it.

Skied Yodelin on Sunday. 8" of light(ish) untracked fresh on top of a soft base. Cold temps in the morning kept the snow good until we descended around 2 pm. mix of light snow showers and blue skies was awesome. best part? not another soul around. that is a yodelin first for a sunday! guess everyone was in church? it was a stellar mid-april day. this winter just keeps on giving!

saturday a.m. Gross Grind; passing knots in the p.m.

old school: def. that which the new school finds too difficult to do (possibly the result of too much brain damage caused by crushing their nuts on a rail in the terrain park)

 

I'm not sure which is funnier - Newschoolers in moguls or Oldschoolers on rails, but it's pretty clear that the Oldschooler+rail combo is way, way more likely to result in hospitalization.

If they are getting laughs off of us geezers on the rails, then I'm reciprocating and getting a good laugh off of them when they face plant in the moguls, which they invariably do. All I know is, I may be 'old school' but if my skiing skills advance to the point where I can do interesting ski mountaineering, I'm more likely to run into uneven terrain that I need to know how to deal with than I am some groomed tube or a nice shiny rail.

Went to Vantage... Weather was okay. Got in lots of routes!!! Anyone who stayed inside because of weather should have come out!

Mogul skiing is great, but having done both moguls and rails I can say that rails are way harder to learn and way more likely to mess you up than moguls - but you are definitely right that mogul skiing is the more practical/transferable of the two skillsets.

Sat a.m. looked out on the balcony at the thermometer...6 deg F. Fahq. Made an arduous push ascent to Blockbuster up the street, then hit the fly shop for a new line, on to the base to workout. Watch movies. Repress urge to commit violent acts against weatherman on radio.

 

Sun a.m looked at thermo...14deg F. Jeebus, it's mid April this shit's gotta break soon. Watched movies, read books, watched snow flurry blow through. Dug fishing gear out of closets, stored winter clothes. Rocked some Coltrane and then some Monk at top volume. Repressed urge to commit violence against weatherman on radio.

The Granite family's new ride...finally.

TR's to follow.
