My older twin brothers got flexible flyers for Christmas one year, probably before I was born. We had a pit on the side of our apartment that we called "the hole" that we sledded on the two sides of. Anyway, one day my Dad brought home these blue plastic runners that clipped over the runners of...

Was it you!?!? You are not man, you are DEVO, D.E.V.O, lol

Another weird one I saw at Jay one Spring was a skateboard with a snowblade mounted several inches below the deck. No bindings...YIKES. The pilot had on a white jumpsuit and a Devo flower pot headgear.

These are pretty cool, saw my first at Bolton Valley. Didn't know they had a name, Jack Jumpers. "They let you take that on the lift?!", Yep, just gotta have a leash. It's a Vermont, maybe New England, thing, I guess. https://newengland.com/yankee-magazine/today/the-joys-of-jack-jumping-first-light/

Not many places where you need rock skis after an 18" dump. Hickory dickory dock.? Sure hope they pull it off, one of the coolest places I've every skied, and I've skied a few.

Walked past an open oven at work this morning and the heat actually felt good. Definitely a sign of things to come.

Hmmm, maybe that's what's wrong with me. Fungus on the brain. Could explain a lot.? Did he enjoy the puff balls otherwise?

He was part of the great vibe at McCauley, it won't be the same without him.

What a shame, Louie was part of the McCauley magic. It was fun listening to his stories. His $25 stone grind and hot wax tunes will be missed too. My former member buddy dropped off I believe 4 pair of skis in the morning, and picked them up at the end of the day. I brought my powder skis with...

Treman is my favorite in Ithaca. I lost 70 lbs hiking up and down those trails, unfortunately I found it again.? Letchworth is pretty cool, it's 20 miles long!

Not an early memory, but a freaky one. During the first Gulf War when scuds were first launched on Israel by Iraq it was falsely reported they were armed with chemical warheads. I was on my way to lunch on my second shift job and heard it on the radio. I'm pretty sure Iraq would've been nuked by...

Great news, hope it happens, what an awesome place. Only skied it once, 18", rock skis useful. Can't say that about most hills. That's the major glitch too with no snowmaking. Place made Plattekill seem like Aspen. It was a trip skiing in the 50's. Hey, Saddleback was resurrected. Another great...

Looks to be on the edge of a trail.

May 1st was a pipe dream. Just a ploy to sell season passes. Ran up to close out GP before a round trip to NYC. Did a quick 5 runs. Olympian was probably worth the hike in and out, but I didn't have the time. K way was a little thin in spots, as was Stoic. Subpar season personally, but it was...

Lock up shit when new, ski the crap out of it so no one in their right mind would steal it, stop locking it up. Oh, I did have a pair of skis and poles stolen once. The skis were a pair of K2 Axis, I bought them used from the same guy I bought a Buell Lightning from. He begged me to take his...

I know, I've had a reconstruction. You know you're getting old when your bad knee is now your good knee.

Oh, if I was on my rock skis too, I'd be just as dumb, why not? Nice morning and early afternoon today, firm and fast early, softening up by noon. Made one run on Olympian, glad I waited till after our break. It was sporty, ungroomed, an a tad firm yet. Probably pretty good now. It skied great...

Not me, some controversial former member.

3" of heavy wet snow on top of the groomers skied good yesterday. I hear it skied good on the dirt too.

Holy chit! The contrast between last weekend and yesterday was shocking. There wasn't even any dirt in the troughs on the bumps on Fields last weekend, yesterday there was barely any snow at all. What is left skied great. I opted to not go at opening as usual, mostly due to the fact the clouds...
