Lynn..it was a vicious headlock...and a noogie....so painful. AND yes. finally at JH...by Monday and including Monday of skiing 6 days of groomers there were grumbles of buying tickets and going home. Enough of the groom snow and firm bumps. We did find mini stashes of snow along the edges and in the trees but we were done with that. AND then...Monday night it snowed about 7 " and it snowed more each day. By Friday we had accumulated nearly 21" of pow. It varied day to day from wet pow to a lighter pow...not the champage type but it was wonderful, playful and sooooo much fun.
Hmmm.. Jim..I skied the P8's at the end of last season after returning my Head SS to the factory...the camber had run away. Yup....sad as it sounds....it's evolution baby!
AND PERRY...
it was mostly your fault...your run was the clincher now that I think of it. Ok gang, we were skiing with a large group and had just finished skiing Bear Claw and it was sweet. Perry "Daniel Boone" had scouted out an "aweomse powder run" and lead this pow starved group to it's secret location. I was skiing near the back of the group came over a rise looking ahead and saw 5" of powder. Man I straight lined my skis feeling like PAC MAN looking to gooble up new lines in pow. Well 15 feet in I went to turn and I felt my left ski release and I got launched back and head first about a gazillion feet landing on my noggin..oooo...ouch
...landed sore neck hard for 3 days!
Your probably are right Perry, that defining momment was the clincher.
Perry WAS the anchor man in those that "forced" me to acquire 78 underfoot. You devious, coniving group of scoundrals.
I can't thank all of you enough.
Best,
G
