LOTS of great skiing Winter of 12-13!

 Trout got really strong on skis this year and he loves to race down with Poppa!

 One or two skin sessions for Rose and Matt, we'll have to step it up next year for sure

Trout is the 1st one to hit the slopes for 2011-2012 winter

And his form looks pretty good too.  Lessons again for the little guy starting next month.  We wanna see turns and stopping! before we take him on the real runs.  Won't be long now!

TTT = 1:03

At least we're consistent!  Gorgeous weather and snow conditions and the hour barrier will be broken soon!

Emerald TT

Getting the skinning muscles working again with some Emerald Mtn TTs to the radio towers on top (well the turn to the towers).  My PR after two attempts in 1:03 in full tele set up.  Great run thru the new clear cut on the way down, steep and deep!

Make that 3 skiers!

Go Trout!

Look who's got new boots.  Looking sharp Chainsaw!

Buff Pass weekend

Pete K and friend Brian came up to the 'Boat to plunder the freshies, and plunder we did! My first time with snowmobile assist and it does have it's benefits, like 4-5 runs each over 2 hours instead of one slog and one run down. This was only my third outing of the season (1st 2 amounting to only 4 runs on Howelson) so legs were fried early, leading to a lot of sloppy turns and headers on my last run or two. Gear is starting to go south too, boots feeling loose, skis rough... I'd like to hold off on gear for one more season though if possible.
