Good to hear you got out. I remember when you used to post photos, sure would like to see some again. That’s not a complaint, just letting you know some of us enjoyed your photos.

^^^^ Working on that, but, doesn't mean twill happen. Would like to be able to send pictures. However, I'm a techno idiot! And have zillions of them, some pretty decent. Will try to get somebody here to "show" me because instructions don't usually compute. TM

Knee seems to be strengthening and have been out a few times. Teleking and Telekid have been laying lots of arcs out there. Today should be able to put it all together and hope the decent snow is not turning to breakable crust. 19o so will see. Little Mountain is getting cut where we ski so will have to see what that brings. TM

Some of the best powder in years. Don't go in to deep and the skis turn with ease. Total white out there, All the branches' limbs and buds. look into the woods and you see @ 10 feet. Wall of white. Teleking was doing the Vert dance with many turns. This old boy is making the knee stronger and was able to get a few turns on lower angle stuff. The E99 are so fast and slice everything . lord they make beautiful arcs. TM

Get it while you can! Weather report says 3-inches rain Monday. I too would like to see more photos. Perhaps you can learn to use your iphone camera, and T-king or -kid can show you how to upload (and blur the faces).

Rock, I've got thousands of photo's. Some day will figure out how to put them up. Trouble is, how can you do that when skiing all the time?

T-man; if you can add one or two photos in a text to me, I could post them. BUT they would have to be on your phone…

Rock the skiing is beyond belief right now. Telephone? that little handheld piece of manure. Me figure anything out? I'm teleman ski it if I can. Thats what is and it is wicked right now. Freaking devices. Need to be shown not lectured which will do no good. Snicker, ski on Rock and hope to see you soon. Heard yesterday that, rain then 5-8. Great start to this season. Ends today but the snow is soooooo good. Fast turn able and did I fall for it! Was up in the Highlands and saw Teleking and wife appearing from the snow mist and white out landscape. Later heading down a short drop on 205 E99's did a turn then another and the logging road took a turn for the worse. Brush here and trees there and my skis didn't want to turn. Uh-oh, smashed the pile of brush but it got me and ended up with skis upside down and the three-inch twig between my legs. lucky thought I. Still had em! Great ski the snow is wicked, and the skis are rockets. Gawd they rock, Rock! And slice, man! TM

A spin of the weather twister wheel; and the say you will get a foot of snow and 40mph winds; sounds like a real noreaster. What could go wrong? Carve away!
