my wknd.

ski season, picked up right where it left off.
Followed my nose to the goods on Friday.
Rinse and repeat on Saturday, but with
new stix. Canaan Valley was a ghost town,
I took advantage, fully. More pics here.

Friday, natural love:

Saturday, rinse & repeat:

hmmmm....

from Dave's weather site:

Nov 25 - Sharply colder with a few flurries overnight, then snow resumed during the morning and continued all day and evening.  Snow fell heavily much of the time from late morning through the evening.  Total snowfall this month so far makes it the second snowiest November in the past 64 years, based on Canaan Valley's official observations.  The most snow ever in November was 55 inches in 1995.

 

(emphasis mine.)

Remember the winter of 95/96?

just saying.....booyah.  ?

(please Ullr, pleazzzzzzzzzzzzze.)

unreal.

so, we've gone from bikes to skis 

with absolutely no interlude, this'll 

help keep off the Holidaze ballast.  

Roundtop opens Friday, might as

well go pick up my pass, maybe 

make a few afternoon turns.

Bro's are here, whoot! sweet flexin'

ski, and light.  G3 Ascents are now 

on the way, just need to find some 

cheap skins.....and a plane ticket.

Gratuitous partial quiver shot:

ya know, nothing beats a good ski tour.  

go out and make it what you want, just like 

a bike ride.  Do what it takes to get out there.

Do some exploring, get turned around but 

never backtrack, cuz you're not really lost, yet.  

Work yourself  into that quiet spot,

find those thin places, stop and listen 

to the trees.  Turn an hourish scouting 

lap into a 4hour loop before succumbing

to the howls of the powder hounds and 

venturing into shin deep windbuffed 

powwypowpow.  Three shaky baby deer 

turns, then get comfortable with gravity

and let the ski work.....ohhhh baby, 

ohhh baby.

Meesnaux, open for season.

from 60's to this....

that was fun.

oh shit!

I guess it's fo rizzle!

hat. is. in. the. ring.

feel like I should write something

witty, or insightful.

vote for ME!

i like beer.

yeah baybee, yeahhhhh
