So it begins...

Headed up to Arapahoe Basin with @FairToMiddlin today. Typical early season run from mid-mountain to base. Conditions were firm and I was glad to have the freshly tuned/sharpened Nordica Dobermans on my feet. Early reports from the weekend were that the crowds at Abasin were "Epic-less" and I have to agree. More cars than people; maybe 6 rows of cars in the main parking lot, zero wait at the lift. Rumors of more snow headed to Colorado Friday and Sunday into Monday. I.Am.So.Ready :yahoo:

Oh the places you’ll go...

You meet the nicest people on a Honda, err, T.I.T.S. @Mike King joined us the next day for WITS, along with his friend, Fred. we also rode with Hillary (who just signed up with Pug, don’t know her PugName yet), a former US snowboard team member, and several of her insanely talented carving board friends. What a great start to the season!

I had a Th.I.T.S day today. A-Basin was unbelievably quiet. No Epic hordes. No ski teams. No lift lines. No worries (at least for me, not so sure about Al). ;)

Took me about 5 runs to get a feel for the ski edges and balancing again. The snow was slippery. :ogcool:

ThITS, T.I.T.S. With a lisp, I love it! Al seemed at ease, he was very interactive, even about his ‘dip’ into Ramrod, as if he’s breaking the rules on his own mountain, so cheeky.

I remember testing some ‘S’ blizz skis several years ago: forgive my memory lapse (can’t search it, as Epicski is gone) S-power, and S800 or sumsuch, fantastic frontside skis, better than what they are peddling today. @Drahtguy Kevin should remember those sticks, they were special.

It was great to ski with you guys and to try out my knee! Here’s to the WROD!

Today felt like winter at Abasin. 3 inches reported this morning and still was lightly snowing til mid morning. It was cold, breezy & cloudy. It sure was nice to be a some fresh snow for only the 3rd day of the season! @SBrown @Noodler IMG_20191022_131353317.jpg IMG_20191022_123445962.jpg IMG_20191022_091322885.jpg
