i doubt it. the week where we ended on getting dumped on for a week straight i took 6 days off. i take time off when it's really good. just can't justify taking time off when there isn't even a foot at lake level.

not trying to be snotty.... just saying that if i took time off from work every time a storm came in .... we'd lose our house.

There was a foot in the parking lot here. And we are what, like a block or two away from you?

See, Matt12? When the goods get here, you might not be able to enjoy 'em. And apparently, the jobs here are really tough:

So Amy works at least 6 days a week, but I suspect it may be 7.

I am going back to Heavenly today with the goal of personally tracking out ALL of the the remaining pow-pow so that there is NONE left for the weekend.
I am such a dick.

ok, I really hope there is some left for the weekend, it just makes me to know that you guys are working.
You really need to get your priorities straight

Alpine this weekend?

I was thinking of going to Alpine this weekend... Would it even be worth it with the temperatures going up in the next couple days?

Yeah - but all Amyd has to do is wait around and then walk out her back door when the conditions are good.

You have to simply *hope* that conditions are good when you ski "legitimate" ski areas.

Which, I might add, you've done a *stellar* job of this year. :thumb:

we'll actually be in bc after work today. so don't fret about us.

and i know there are areas at the heave you won't be tracking out before this weekend. it's taken me some years to find some extra special tucked away places.
