Baller jjackkrash Posted October 30, 2023 Baller Share Posted October 30, 2023 It was 25f when I woke up at the lake Saturday. We skied one set in the afternoon. It was sunny with a little bite but no wind. I may ski next weekend if it is not raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller itsallyellow Posted October 31, 2023 Baller Share Posted October 31, 2023 We ski all the way through over here in the UK. Had a great set at the weekend, water in the 50's and the same outside. Our lake is small and shallow so really warms up in the summer but also drops quickly in the winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted October 31, 2023 Baller Share Posted October 31, 2023 It’s getting to that time of year when I’ll get out maybe once or twice a week, and sometimes every other week, when the weather is warm. Sadly, I’m just now figuring out what was killing my skiing all season. Went out yesterday and ran 2 back-to-back easy passes at what used to be my 75-80% pass that has been my 20% pass this season, then 4 easy buoys at the pass I rarely run. on the bright side, this time of year is when my office becomes well decorated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted October 31, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted October 31, 2023 @aupatking - your problem is obvious, the cure is to send me a few of those skis. That should cut back on ‘choosing stress’ so you can focus on skiing 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Taynton Posted November 2, 2023 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2023 Well, after waiting out the last cold snap, about a week of -2 to -8C , went to ski last weekend and started out with a dead battery, that morphed to a new alternator, and has now evolved into a new electrical ignition as well. Parts are on order but Im draining the block. I think Im done. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TallSkinnyGuy Posted November 4, 2023 Baller Share Posted November 4, 2023 Beautiful day in the Sacramento area today with air around 77 and water 60, but it is going to look a lot more like deep fall over the next few days and into the next week, so I skied a couple sets today, winterized the boat and brought it home.

Baller_ DW Posted December 11, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted December 11, 2023 14" of fresh snow in the last 48 hours at Vail, a bit of a chilly start (1 deg F) but a pleasant mid 20's by afternoon. Some really nice powder to blast through. More ropes dropping by the day (to non snow skiers = first runs of the season meaning fresh tracks or the equivalent of pure glass). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dvskier Posted December 12, 2023 Baller Share Posted December 12, 2023 @DW I was on Mountain Safety at Keystone for 4 years. Saw a lot of folks caught off guard by rocks, including an instructor teaching tree skiing. He went right into a tree after hitting a rock, his class concluded at that time. Got a concussion but no permanent damage. Early season I stick to groomers, Keystone has some very challenging and fun terrain. Love Blue Sky Basin at Vail.

Baller_ DW Posted December 12, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted December 12, 2023 @dvskier - nice, did you get a yellow jacket? 😆 I saw the sled in use a few times today, bummer. North & South Rim, Prima and Pronto off Northwoods chair at Vail are open with very good coverage, the only bowl open is Game Creek. The Outback is great until you have to ride the Wayback chair and Santiago has fun stuff too. So far, Vail is getting all the snow in the area. The staff at Vail has been great, everybody is super friendly, cordial and smiling. Makes for an even more enjoyable day on the slopes. Kudo's to whomever has spread the happy culture, we as customers appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
