Gary- I wanted to save you the time of starting a new thread  ;D

my curiosity is nagging..........so how much lake effect did you get, and just how much fun were the JJ's 8)

not a whole lot, look at the webcams, it looks like maybe they got an hour of some pow then its picking your way through the carnage finding leftovers on the sides of trails. ...... as they say in Steamboat, it gets hoovered up quick.? ? My bet is he's on the 78's.


UPDATE
I just spoke to him, they got about 4-5" and he skied the 78's. They skied over at Holimont so they were able to enjoy some pow for most of the day since there's not a lot of people there. i am sure he'll post....

Hey Perry ...Yup..Ron's almost dead on....I awoke Sunday morning around 2am, my usual call to the window when it's snowing when I go to bed. Nose pressing glass, the vehicles were covered in the parking lot. Went back to bed with thoughts of dancing on the JJ's........

When I awoke, I realized the snow stopped at 2:01am....yes we had 5 inches of fresh light pow. What that means on most eastern resorts is that the first 90 minutes you can find first tracks. After that, that snow is pushed around leaving hard pack where fluffy pow once settled.

So...I danced with the MX78's with no regrets. Found pow in the trees and soft snow along the edges all day and into the next day too.

Hoping this week to get some fresh out at Steamboat....finger s crossed.

Next year Perry, come on up.....we had a great time at Holiday Valley and Holimont, fun group of guys, and some really great skiing!
Best,
G

Gary - would love to make it.  Who knows, maybe I can talk Gloria into coming up sometime for an orientation course before hand.

Gary, you ready to trade the JJ's in for the 11Kastle 98?  I had a chance to fondle it recently and I would think that you'd appreciate its finer qualities. :)

Hmmm.....you pimpin' Kastle now Trish....??? I'll bet it's a sweet ride just based on the ride I have with the 78's.

Nope...gotta pretty great cross coverage with the 78's and the JJ's.....

So...you buying a pair?
