Capt'n D says wassup.
Saturday @ Sierra At Tahoe:
Conditions at Sierra-At-Tahoe : Blue Sky with Puffy Clouds, Sugary Snow at Morning, Slushie in the Afternoon (ick), No Snow on Trees, Sunny Warm Almost Hot, Not many people for a weekend..
Woke up at 5:15am on to the journey to South Tahoe, got the Capt'n n started flowing. Got to Sierra Pretty early 9:15am. Snow was ok, discount coupon felt good to go. There was no wait on the lifts for the weekends which was wierd. One Section of the mountain was already closed. You can see the dirt at some places. Riding was pretty good, i bought new used boots off of ebay that were pretty new looking. The inside liner was awefully tight, even with the laces being loosely tied i still had to take off the boot every 3rd run! But at the end of the day i guess the heat activated memory foam got to conforming to my foot. Didn't do much terrain park since it seems that it's all these monster takeoffs now.
Got to the hotel, which kinda was just shelter for us. The walls were pretty thin, and the faucet spewed out milky water, hot or cold. The swimming pool is half filled and is habitated by two mallard ducks. At least the hot tub is operational.
Ventured off to the casinos, the last time i was here there was a Ceasars Palace, now it's the MontBleu. Dangit i liked this restaurant that was extreme sportish themed, they had excellent pizza! Bah! Guess MontBleu has been here for a year now. Lordy!
Sunday @ Kirkwood:
Weather Conditions at Kirkwood : Cloudy Sky, Hard crust snow at in the morning, decent sugary stuff afterwards, Windy, Not as packed in terms of peoples. No waiting for the lifts. Weather Forecasted Cloudy colder than Saturday.
Woke up sorta sore, had to use earplugs in the middle of the night to get the car noises and the passing conversations (i felt like i was there) away.
Kirkwood was pretty good, got there about 9:30. We began into this ice capades hard snow. So learning from past times, we headed to where the sun was and hung out on the west side where the snow was softer. Had to bust out the jacket for today.
Eventually got to the center of the park and towards nooblet land on the east side. There happens to be a small (is 6ft small?) halfpipe in which we spent many runs trying to spin. At first i could do a heelside 180 at the top but not a toeside. I just couldn't whip it! (Whip it real good!) After the 3rd run i started to get it and started to slightly own the halfpipe. It feels good to do silly stuff.
Got back and ate at a place called Freshies, it's semi hawaiian semi californian. Pretty good food. Asked around about mondays adventure at homewood, and people did not advise it. I started feeling sore and called an end. We'll just hang out and take out time back, the rain is supposed to come.
Hit the hot tub and ran the jets on my calves, man to they hurt!
Monday (today):
Chillin at a Coffee shop for the free wireless, typing all this up. It's sunny for now. I'm feeling all sore on my back, shoulder, calves, neck. My chiropracter is gonna love me tommorrow.
Packed up and checked out, we're gonna slowly head back to the bay stopping at some places to get goods that the Capt'n is looking for.
Too bad the trip was so short, but i think most of the skii places are gonna close soon. Maybe a few will stay open but snow's not looking good to ride on in the next weeks. i want to go at least one more this season, we'll see.
