Hey, X, hows it looking for your trekking back and forth to the Big Shed? We got less than a dusting down here in the Harbor, but Everett got The Convergence (as I’m sure you know ;-) )...

There was about 2" to 3" at the house this morning, and about 4" to 6" at the Big Shed.

I got up earlier than usual and left earlier this morning to beat the Idiots Rush.

If it snows more tonight it wouldn't hurt my feelings.

More fun on the slopes.

I have yet to see one of theses extreme skiers do anything on the slopes that I wasn't doing 50 years ago. Of course they do it on purpose.

Ew no.

Warren Miller ski videos are always a treat.

A classic, the Mount Baker Slush Cup.

Nice, I've always wanted to do what the guy at 1:22 is doing...

Meh, bondage skiing maybe.

Free the heel, ski for real.

I know. These bondage people seem to find some "interesting" lines, though. He leaves the last remnants of sanity behind about one minute in.

No that would have been on purpose. Plus I said extreme skiers. That would have involved flaming bagpipes and they had not been invented yet.

Please - this is a family-friendly forum. And bagpipes are not a modern invention, they’ve been around for three millennia!

"Sponsored by the Head ski company" got a good laugh from me.
