Just do the winisook glade several times and pretend your in a deeper woods.

I almost spit my teeth out when I read this

I hear there’s a guy in Cali who might be able to help out....when you have trouble un-sticking the GG!

Had some great days at belleayre this season and have lift tix for tomorrow (Saturday) to go with my son, who is six years old and pretty new to skiing.
He’s comfortable skiing the lower runs off the lightning quad and loves Deer Run off the gondola.

The weather looks pretty dicey: morning snow, turning to light rain, and heavy winds (gusts of 30 mph). Plus we are driving from NYC so it would be pretty bad to drive all the way up and have to turn around if the weather is too bad / there are wind holds on the lifts.

Should we go for it or reschedule???

With family in mind I rescheduled

Not looking great. I'm only 45 min away, so planning to get there early and ski as long as rain holds off.

You can get some great surface conditions in the rain. Skiing in a garbage bag doesn’t always look great....but a six year old might love it. It’ll be an experience!

I remember doing that with my Dad. I think we were at Mohawk. We had the whole place to ourselves. We used a golf umbrella on the lift. I put a snow basket on the end of it and used it as a ski pole on the way down. It worked great. We called it the Skibrella. Be careful with those garbage bags, you can pick up speed pretty quick if you fall!
