I would love to ski Jackson Hole someday as well as Whistler in BC.

Mt Bachelor is cool because my mom lives 10 minutes away, so the 3 hour drive from Portland isn't as bad. The closest to me are the resorts at Mt Hood which is ~ 1 hour away. :D

Show your love for the golden state by going in a loosely clasped palm tree print button up shirt. It'll turn on all the snow bunnies who only ever see sunshine but twice a year.

Wow, what a great day!! :D Blue skies and decent snow. It was like spring skiing and there were not many peeps there either! I do have a few pics that I will post later on (turns out my mom has the same camera, so will be easy to get formatted.

Sylvos & Sirensa - Make some time after Christmas and we will all cruise down for a couple days... can't beat free lodging! And tell Steve he missed out! :P

hehehe...don't feel bad Canelek, my boards predate dayglo (circa 1983) and my boots are mid entry Nordicas...

hoping to spend a day skiing in Connecticut when I go home for Christmas :D

I have never been to the NE hills, but I hear there is some pretty good skiing/boarding in NY and VT. My favorite places are all in CO, but that is a bit of a trek...

and as far as the bitchin(and misunderstood!!) 80's gear...well, I guess I will keep those until I switch to boarding or finally buy those fancy new parabolic skis... :P

You bastard. Looks like you had great ski conditions! Did you rooster anyone during the day? (cover an unsuspecting skier with snow on a power stop) :twisted:

Canalek failed to mention that the lifts were closed

Am I wrong in focusing more on the beer in his hands.. which looked mighty tasty... than the beauty of the mountain??

You also know exactly what kind of beer that is. :D
