Hell yeah.

I'm going up tomorrow afternoon, but won't be on the slopes until Sunday due to a stupid blackout period on my season pass. Hopefully the drive will be doable...

Sierra was choice today, except for the loooooooooooooooooong lines. Got there early and had some sick runs in the ungroomed pow. If your going up this weekend, expect really long lines.

P.S. Thank god for the double whammy pass and no blackout dates at sierra!

I got the cheapest double whammy. So I have blackouts all week at both resorts. But I will be at Northstar this Sunday...

For the record, Northstar was damned good today. Seemed like another foot on top of the 1-2 feet from the day before. I'm still having some issues making turns in the deep snow, but even the faceplants were fun. =)

was at kirkwood sunday. lovely as could be.
but the only pisser was sitting in the car for 5 hours trying to get back to south shore. chaos was starting to errupt.
people have to chill in those circumstances. when the road is closed --- no one is going anywhere. no need to freak out.

The best part is when they go sliding from using their brakes too much. Then the morons wonder why they lost control.

I drive a friggin' Geo Metro and never have problems...

my personal favorite is wen people with 4wd rally downhill because they think that their 4wd is better. They forget that all cars stop the same. then once the SUV's are in the ditch everyone starts driving way slower then they have to because they are scared.
