So Lynn, have we beat horses and BrokeBack mountain to death enough??
OK with me...?
But a great story about the horses.? That must have been a strange feeling, seeing a horse half swallowed by mud.? Must have driven the poor creature nuts with fear when it realized it couldn't move.
Interesting that you weren't able to get decent float in powder on your Wateas.? At 176, I would have thought that would have been plenty of square inches underfoot to get you through.? Makes me wonder how well my Mythics will do in the deep stuff...they're 178's, and I'm heavier than you.? I'm not experienced here, so I guess the only way to find out is to try.? Will have to coax Ron into giving me a powder lesson, though.? Nudge, nudge....
I bought the 84's primarily because I seldom get that kind of snow on trips west and wanted a "somewhat" wide 1 quiver ski.
BTW, that's the same reasoning I had when deciding to buy the Mythics -- a single ski for trips west and also good for fresh snow / crud here in the east.? I could have used them at least five times here in the east this winter.? As really deep powder skiing is likely going to be a rarity for me, I saw these as being much more versatile.? Reasonable length, too, at 178. Anything longer would have been too cumbersome on the groomed and in bumps/crud, in my estimation. Besides, they're a lot of fun on groomed runs.?
Kimball Junction has a lot going on now.? Did you find the coffee roastery? Pretty darn good espresso shots to be had there.? We took a couple of pounds of beans home too (just finished them, actually) and they were very good.
