yeah its hella gay i neeed to ski over thanksgiving break.

That snow-forecast site is bullshit though dont use it. It has been wrong more than its been right.

Meadows said they might make snow when it gets cold for a rail park.

Tahoe feels your pain, my friends...

Pretty sure the entire west coast is getting raped this season for whatever reason... Hopefully we have a huge march or something to make up for this lost time.

haha yeah I am going to pick up new tires early tomorrow morning.  If the shitty WA drivers are anything like the OR ones, tomorrow will be interesting.

this video which I am sure all of you have seen was filmed like 3 blocks from my apt so not trying to have people anywhere near my car with snow on the road...

this video, which I am sure all of you have seen, was filmed a few blocks from my apt, and is definitely on a steep hill, but the whole area is pretty hilly and I dont think I am gonna park my car anywhere close just in case some fucker can't handle his shit...

Speaking of tomorrow, is Meadows open daily now? I know the website banner says so, but I thought Meadows was only open on Sunday. Could someone clarify this for me, thanks.

How long was the line for Daisy today? I imagine it took like an hour to get on with all the kids from break and all. Also, what did they have setup in the rail park?

The lift line on Daisy was not bad at all yesterday - none of the lifts were.  The Shipyard has three lines - 1) Picnic table to down box, 2) snow height up flat down box to 15ft flat box and 3) 10ft metal ledge to rainbow rail to left and right c boxes.  There is also a tire jib set up in-between lines 2 and 3.

Unfortunately, the idea of a ropetow in the Shipyard has not been actualized.  Repeatedly tell every Park/Grooming/Operations person you find that it would be a great idea.

I have started feeding the local marten again - He brought the snow in December so I am confident he will help us out now.
