Considering Snow Ridge tomorrow, could be good, depending on where God wants to dump the LES. Be nice to ski somewhere other than Greek for a change, and some powder sure would be nice too.

Greek skied pretty good this morning, firm and fast, and damn it God why!? Flat light. Big squall right on time 10:45, got 2 warnings on my phone. I wouldn't want to be driving in it, but skiing it wasn't too bad, it was slow and sticky.

Timberline, it is genius design for a self standing backpacking tent. Whoever came up with it's design, did a great job. I worked right next to their RD department. It was right when cafe style Japanese motorcycles came out. I half jokingly said they should design a line of soft luggage for...

My dad bought a 9x12 cabin tent from them in the 60's. It was a pita to set up, ridge pole and lots of guy lines. A bear ripped a hole in the front of it in Yellowstone while we were in it. I was only 3½, but I remember sleeping in the car with my mom after. He had Eureka patch the hole. We...

I have a radar detector, but they usually set up camp in the same places, every once in awhile they'll surprise you and be somewhere they usually aren't. Yep, rarely see a cop on the way to Elk.

Conklin is suburb of Binghamton, downtown Binghamton is 3 miles from my childhood home. I'm glad Conklin never became as developed as Vestal, probably because it's on the East side. The area I grew up, where Johnson Outdoor is located, is rather dumpy. It was a great place to grow up. The...

Stillwater is definitely redneck central in Conklin. I grew up about a half mile from the city line. We had our share back then too. I'd say more white trash than redneck. I'm grateful I got to work at the two world famous businesses in my neighborhood. I worked in the Eureka factory outlet...

I'm not a hick, I come from the big city...Conklin. Isn't it funny though, I praise Greek when they do well. I call them out when they don't. Camp just praises them regardless. His homerism is nauseating. Oh yeah, and he doesn't even ski.

Didn't know hicks like you understood the concept.

It's called sarcasm

Kudos to the crew at Greek! Skied pretty damn good considering the recent weather. All groomed trails were great, including Olympian, Zeus, and Herc Even got into the woods a little, lower Aesop's, and Mars Glade. Just took a couple pics. Only bad thing I have to whine about was the flat light.

Skied from opening till 11. Firm and fast but edgeable for the most part. Stoic was pretty slick. Groomers headed out past chair 3 about 9:15, headed up Kristy's together. Rode 4 up, patrol was waiting to drop the ropes right at 9:30. Made one run down the terrain park on Pollux. Hit a jump and...

Don't your knuckles drag when you ride surface lifts? Oh, that's right, you don't ski, nevermind.

Yeah, why not, if you're gonna offer retro skiing with 50 year old lifts, might as well go back another 30.

Still holding out for a big storm sometime in the future. Some of our biggest snowstorms have been in March, fingers crossed. That said, the last two weekends were phenomenal. Sure wish the cold would've stuck around. But if it gets rock hard, I'm ready, supposed to be in the teens again Sunday...

They're lucky it was a relatively balmy 25°, had it been one of the colder days we've had lately I wonder if hypothermia might not have been an issue. Man, what's with all these lift failures lately? I wonder if the labor problem is a contributing factor? I'm used to issues with Greek's lifts...

Yep, was riding the upper mountain Poma at Hickory, it stopped, I was about halfway up, no one was getting off, I thought, well, this is dumb standing here waiting, just pulled the disc out from under my butt and skied away.

Nice TR, Qburke, umm, I mean Burke is a gem. My first time there was April Fool's Day about 10 years ago. They got 18", and it was really hard driving by alot of great mountains to get there, but Burke was the bullseye of the storm. The old quad was still there, a 15 minute ride. Must've been...

Sounds yummy, especially drinking it in there... Ambiance.

Oh, you just had to ruin it, didn't you. When all I had to bitch about was an overflowing portapotty. The more things change, the more they stay the same. FYI, chair 4 is going to be worked on tomorrow and Tuesday, from what I've heard.
