amazing how everyone looks alike after few beers.

Or before beers if fully masked. Can’t then tell the pugsters from each other or from bank robbers.

We will be up in the AM...for sure.

We were disappointed to find Granite Chief closed for the season this morning.

Oh that's sad, it wasn't really in that bad of shape yesterday, can't believe it had to be closed (.

Did you see all of the cracks in the snow at the bottom? THere is a stream that runs under that area, it is not if it collapses but when. I am surprised it lasted this late.

Did any of you know there's a big lake here?

@Tony S and I spent the start of the day with @Near Nyquist and @Unpiste . Then 3 of us did another Reverse Traverse, but this time walked over the scree field to ski Headwall. It is a nice pitch, though not as technical as the North Bowl lines.

Near the end of the day ran into the @KingGrump 's and @Sandy_NYC . We finished the day with a flurry of Shirley Lake laps.

Eclectic collection of equipment on the lift today. Or maybe this belongs in the "SX in the wild" thread.

Will be up in the AM. Haven’t skied with any of the crew here in a while. Will likely bump into you given that only Sibo and Shirley are running.

So is the Funi the only way up and down?

mountain run is “open”. I think sq one was running also.

Its not THAT big.

 

[dbostedo]

Its not THAT big...

Well according to Wikipedia it's only the 31st largest lake in the US by area, but the 6th largest (after the Great Lakes) by volume since it's so deep... you could say it's the largest lake entirely within the US.

Lake Michigan is entirely in the US.

D'oh... I knew that... but I was thinking "Great Lakes = Canadian Border"

Dude I gave you a hint with the sign, 54,200 strokes to Wisconsin!
*I noticed that Wikipedia is missing Wisconsin as a state bordering Lake Michigan.

I just assumed that picture was taken in Canada
