Says the man who doesn't even buckle his boots.... Do you wear mis-matched socks?

 

[KingGrump]

Do you wear mis-matched socks?

I run 16 pairs of the exact same socks. Are they mismatched? Perhaps. Definitely not the original pairing from the factory.

Hey, James, I don't want to rock your world more than it already is, but be prepared. I have a new ski outfit as well. I went with red jacket and smoke grey pants. Its sexier and a lot cleaner looking. I will be modeling it at the gathering. Maybe its time for you to update?

But don't tell us, let it be a surprise.

Here’s hoping that new outfit keeps you from falling off the lift.
<Thud!>
”What was that??”
-Oh just Scott falling off. Does it all the time.

I need a new jacket too. But don't worry, I'm shopping for the same color.

There’ll be a serious disturbance in the Force if you switch colors.
However… there’s a clause that says it’s fine if you also switch boots to one made in the last 5 years.

My husband had a college roommate whose mother bought him multiple pairs of identical socks so he could just pull out two and be sure they matched. Easy to do laundry, too.

Stowe report for Monday March 20th.

Skied with @Erik Timmerman in the morning. Lots of trees, bumps and failed attempts at whirlybirds. Homework assignments…. Did have some success at improving counter in the bumps though.

Erik had to work in the afternoon. Skied some corn snow bumps on Spruce. Main Street was still frozen at least until the lower parts. More corn harvest off the Sunny chair.

And then I figured I’d ski Bruce. Big mistake. Crusty spring gloppy snow. Where it wasn’t crusty it was sticky. Not a good combination on a trail that’s maybe 10 feet wide. I did manage a few sections where I linked two or three turns. Truly awful run. I was glad when I reached the xc trails. Bruce would ski nicely if another 200 people go through to pack it down a bit more.

Got the bus back. Couldn’t end the weekend with a run like that! Front Four was closed (it was like 3:40) but Centerline was still open. Skied those bumps really well. Onto Gulch for more bumps; again, held a nice line. Yay.

It was 3:58 when I reached the quad. I could have done an @mdf and taken one more but I figured I had a good run. No sense in pushing it (and thus why I’m only an associate member of the Ministry of Bad Ideas).

Not sure if I’ll make it back to Stowe this season. NEG next weekend and then we’ll see what April brings.

What is your word for what he was doing in the morning?

I call BS. You and your family are always styling. That doesn't happen by accident. Also, you are not above making the odd style-related comment here yourself. It just makes you a little uncomfortable when other people do it.

 

[KingGrump]

Usually with sarcasm.

 

[Erik Timmerman]

Working hard.

Sunday River skied nicely today. The weather was spring like and the snow was more like winter. The groomers were firm and softened up some. Any bumps were quite rigid.

After a week in Taos, a week in Utah, and two weeks on the couch, I am pretty sure I will not be able to ski New England conditions without, you know, a walker or something.

 

[zircon]

I have a yellow (goldenrod?) jacket.

Funny way of spelling "beige"

The real answer here is to fit into kids' jackets. Then you get the whole rainbow at 1/3 the price. Fashion? I prefer aggressively distasteful.

Maybe oxygen.

We did not notice this. Perhaps you need to come to Maine this weekend to prove it. We can find some non-skiing activities for you to do.

Clearly the solution is a pair of Stocklis.

Don’t you be insulting my jackets.

Kids’ jackets don’t leave enough room for me to stuff my chest area with unneeded buffs and hats. For bonus “augmentation”.

Am I the only person who does that? I promise it’s just for shits and giggles…

Says Mr. Queer Eye himself. I couldn't start to list the number of ski jackets / outfits purchased based on your recommendation (ahem, approval)

EXACTLY. Or in spite of them, in my case.
