Today... WARNING! Non bike content

[Ride-A-Lot]

I don't know why. but the office was closed again today. I'm not
complaining. I took the opportunity to do some non-weekend crowd runs
at Keystone. I even got to meet some really nice people there,
including the person at the ticket area who gave me a free lift ticket.
I thanked him immensely and wished him a happy holiday.

I managed to ski every blue, including some of the steeper ones and an
occasional launching (had to tone it down since I was alone).

Great way to enjoy the mountain when you can't bike it.

Nice, way to make the best out of getting buried in 2 feet of new snow!

OK. My turn.

WTF is POW?

Snowboarding is for punks. Damn kids are always getting in my way or
scraping everything up. Almost had a run-in with one of those
screwballs today. Sign said, "No Air!" and he nearly flies into my head
four feet off the ground.

My knees are just fine. I'm no double black diamond skier.

POWDER

what good is fresh powder if they drive over it and groom it with a
snowcat?

and the guy who taught me to board with was in his 50's, 15 years
ago...
hiking into the back bowls is a winter workout.

Powder will come, eventually. I have to learn how to ski in it, first.
Keystone just opened the Independence Bowl. 3000 acres of ungroomed
terrain only accessible by a special snowcat shuttle.

As for the board, I am happy on skis. I'll let my son do the shredding.

"Trays for gays" -- ski instructor, yelled from the chair to a group of his
snowboarding buds.

I grew up surfing and skateboarding, but think snowboarding sucks ass
compared to skiing. I've tried it more than a few times and became
readily adept because of my background, but still prefer two sticks in
the snow.

What he really should do is free his heels!

Oh, and nice photos Mitch. I see the pow was over on the edges looking
pretty untouched!
