At the intersection of midwestern skiing and bad decisions. Probably NSFW.

Re: The UP Conditions Report Thread
My camping plans were thwarted by work, but I managed to sneak out Saturday. T-$ found me around noon. Had great fun skiing the slackcountry around the radio tower. Conditions back there were awesome. Also almost completely untouched. Heck, I broke trail to the west side of the tower shortly before ...

Re: The UP Conditions Report Thread
One of my fondest memories is twisting down a NARROW AF hiking trail down to Mirror Lake on a seemingly endless right turn in hip deep powder, just dipping in and the coefficient of friction equalizing perfectly (through little to no action or skiing skill on my part). Just...woooooooooosh....while...

Re: The UP Conditions Report Thread
Oh, hai. Finishing up my 3rd on call weekend in a row so nothing exciting to report. It snowed Then it melted. Then it snowed again. Now it's melting again. I think it's going to snow again. Heading to the porkies next weekend to scout a telefest campsite. I think Bell's Hopslam is available now, so...

Re: Screw the leashes!
I recall one powder day at the local hill a few years back when a friend stopped at the top of hill, and removed a ski to adjust something or other. Seemingly without warning, and defying all known laws of physics, the ski immediately started heading down the hill, as if drawn by a power far greater...

Re: Supporting the beast.
To say that the vast majority of my co-workers are not out of doors types would be an understatement.
