So I'll admit I've dropped off on a few fronts.
First, I have been delinquent in being dedicated to getting a hundred days.
Second, T have been delinquent in recording my riding.
The main reason is there has been nothing to talk about since my last post. The weather has sucked since.
So to pick up where I left off...
19. I rode the day before Christmas in Rochester. Good Snow. Kinda that spring rain snow that the water content isn't too high yet. Fun to be on the hill with my dad. It poured the day after Xmas so I lost that day.
20. My Stowe pass was blacked out since I'm not rich. I went down to Sugarbush before worked. I took one of my coworkers with me so that was fun to get her on the hill.
21. That saturday Sugarbush sucked. It was like being stuck in WNY 1985. Frozen firm snow. Snow guns blasting on the major run down the mountain. Organgrinder was fast and firm, had some fun runs down that. I blew off the rest of the weekend. I figured it wasn't going to get much better.
22. My next outing was Friday 1/6th. Can't say I remember much about it. Went to Stowe. Rained midweek. Thurs night, it had snowed a few inches on top of firm snow. Dust on Crust as they say (maybe a little more snow than that.
23. First day at the Pig. I actually had a load of fun this day. Early morning they had groomed Liftline top to bottom. So I charged that for like five runs. It was kind of windy and cold but sunny. At about ten o'clock I went over to ride the new "sensation" lift. What an awful name. Had some fun though Spruce being in the sun definitely was nice. Hiked to the old top and got some powder turns into the new area. I then ducked the rope under the chair and got some more turns. There's a few fun drops that you can hit. They had also left a ten foot tall snow making pile just after the steep pitch. So you come motoring off the pitch and you can just launch off it. I actually had a blast burting the shi*t out of it and heading back up hill. Got frostbite for the second time this year on my cheek. As Sully pointed out, I have to start wearing pants.
24. Sun. the 8th. Got out again. Kind of a blah morning. Weather didn't happen and my legs weren't quite there after a long day on Sat, so I was on my way home at 10:30.
25. Fri. the thirteenth. Nothing shi*tty happened. One of those mornings where you're moving slow. I thought I had to pickup my mobile from the office. Turned out my phone was home just felt like I ran over hell's half acre before heading to the mountain. Rode with some people I normally don't ride with. It's safe to say different people go to the mountain for different reasons.
26. Sat. rained and rained. So I did errands and cleaned house. That is a laughable definition. I still need to clean some more before I go to Germany next week. This time of year my cars a mess, my house is a mess, but you have to have priorities. So Sun was cold. Real cold. it was like five with strong wind. You know the weather has sucked when you are holding out hope for them to open the one high speed chair at Spruce to improve your weekend. This day was truly dust on crust.
Got frostbite for the third time this year. That was a real kick in the balls because I actually did a pretty good job staying covered up. I was going to go Tues. (before the whether went back to rain) but it was so cold that I couldn't risk getting frostbite again.
So that has been my last seven days. It's safe to say that with being in Germany for ten days next week, I don't think I'll pull off my riding goals for the year.
That said, I'm going to continue to keep track I'm still interested where I land. Thanks for making it this far.
