tonyw · February 26th, 2005, 20:35

Me and Grabo are having a hell of a time here. Suckers!

WillNotFly4Food · February 26th, 2005, 21:17

I'm sure you are, you SOB's! 11" in the last week.

This post coming to you live, from work...

ready2fly · February 27th, 2005, 08:04

Is it just you and Grabo?

tonyw · February 28th, 2005, 02:35

Yup! It was just me and Grabo. Did a little afternoon/night skiing at Keystone on Friday to warm us up. Then on Saturday, we got a nice day where it wasn't too cold, and there was nice, gentle snow coming down all day long. Today was absolutely gorgeous. Nice, clear blue skies, nice sunny day, and fresh new powder from last night.

I am just getting done unpacking and getting ready for bed now. I'll post a link to pictures when I get a chance.

Oh, yeah, guys, you know how they talk about VFR on top? How about ski FR on top -- as in skiing above the clouds! Let's put it this way. When I was flying home, the cabin pressure was HIGHER than the pressure at the base of Breck (9600 feet).

Kristie · February 28th, 2005, 23:46

glad you had a GREAT time in the snow!!!!! waiting for those photos man!!!

tonyw · March 2nd, 2005, 17:11

Grabo172 · March 2nd, 2005, 19:45

That's nothing, try skiing down Mount Everest, now there's big mountain skiing.

Wish I could've been there, it looks beautiful up there. How about the next trip all you JC guys come down to Boston, there are some great slopes here in Mass.
