Ohio had some decent snow then it got up to 60 degrees and rained. And the wait continues.

I am going up to Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia after Christmas with a couple of my buddies, excited for it

No, but next week I'll be in Tahoe for a few days then after christmas I'll be at copper for a week. Fuck I can't wait to get the season going. After those lil trips bank account will be drained and I'll start bootpacking on the weekends.

Yes but only barely. Got a half day in at Alpine Meadows on a little half lift, mostly blown snow but we had some fresh rain/snow on top so overall it wasn't awful for turkey day weekend.

Once. Opening day at Granite Peak. I've just been too busy with work and a few other things. I wish I could just ski every day and get decent again.

Once, opening day at Chestnut Mountain. Turned to slush by the middle of the day I was out of there by 3:00. Heading up to Granite Peak this weekend though, forecast looks promising.

quebec is sick, tremblant isn't. I've heard the nightlife is good though so if you're on a school trip that will probably be pretty fun

3 days so far, 2 of which were like 4 runs. The other was a decent half day. I took a couple runs checking guns in the morning over the last 2 weeks.

Crazy working at a ski resort and not riding. 12.5 hour shifts 6 days a week will do that I guess. Mad hours but jesus, I just wanna go to bed after work, but then remember I'll wake up just to drive back to work.

Riding tomorrow with the work homies though. We're opening some steeper terrain so maybe some beers and some cruisy laps down that and a few park laps because why not.

Just 4 days riding lifts this fall and all over the past 2 weekends. Late start to lifts this fall but I've been skiing every month. Can't wait for actual winter to start in a few weeks though because that is usually the start of the goodness that will peak in the spring.
