OFFICIAL 2024 National Gathering in Tahoe - March 2 - March 9, 2024

What about rolling in the snow?

Isn't just standing up out of the hot tub into the cold air enough?

Isn't just standing up out of the hot tub into the cold air enough?

Sure. Until you do it the right way.

What about rolling in the snow?

I did the hot tub then roll in the snow thing exactly once to have the authentic experience. (Well, almost authentic ... it should be a dry sauna.) I don't see the need to repeat.

I did go in the river for a cold post-hot-pool plunge at Pagosa Springs, so I guess I needed to do it twice. Never again, though...

 

[SKI-3PO]

Did the Pagosa Springs river dip too. The chunks of ice floating down the river should make it clear it’s not a great idea. There was a guy in there for quite awhile just swimming around like it was nothing when I was there. I lasted a few minutes at most.

 

[TheArchitect]

I did the hot tub / snow roll at the old Jay Peak hotel way back in the day. Twice was enough.

 

[Phelmut]

I did the hot tub and pool, then laid in a snow covered chaise lounge at the Cliff Lodge during a storm. There is no roof so the heavy snow was coming right into the tub and pool. Invigorating.

Now THAT sounds like fun!

What about rolling in the snow?

Taken out of context, that could be interpreted as a proposition...

(but, yeah, outdoor hot tub w/ snow a few feet away, gotta do it)

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

It was not taken out of context.

 

[Tony S]

Hay, dude. Roll in the hay.

[KingGrump]

Folks started rolling in the hay way way way back when. It was good. They liked it.
Someone had the bright idea to make it a four season thing.
So they tried rolling in the snow. Let's just say things didn't quite measured up. They did proved Subway was right though.

I've been reviewing threads of previous gatherings to gather intel for my big trip this season. It's fun looking at the photos and putting names with faces - challenging because there are screen names and real names, and there are faces and there are faces covered by ski wear.
Which brings me to my question: Does anyone actually know what @theNitza looks like?

 

[SKI-3PO]

Does anyone actually know what @theNitza looks like?

You should be able to spot him in ski wear in the dark.

He looks like a shadow.

 

[Tony S]

Yes. You can chum for him with granola bars, btw.

You're probably not going to believe this, because I don't seem to have photographic proof... but I've actually seen him without a facemask or goggles on!

 

[David Chaus]

I’ve skied with him several times, good guy.

Sure you did.
