A lot for a little.

It's getting to be the time of

season when we become very

picky when choosing our ski

days, either lots of new snow,

or lots of sun, not much of a

happy medium between the two.

However the need to ski

caused the Shust and I to override

that basic principal, out we went.

Breck received 4-5" atop glacial

ice and rocks on Thursday, just

enough powder to conceal the terror

that laid beneath. We only

hung 'round for an hour, it sucked.

The not so good news was that

poor road conditions near

the Divide and an accident further

down the road streched my

normal 1:20 minute drive home

to nearly 3 hours. That's about

4.5 hours in the car for

an hours worth skiing...

Devotion is what we call that...

Devotion.

Shust's(plural) on C bumps, a favorite.
March Mustache.
Tailights... Weeeee.
Tatanka.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to bring

a jacket today. This stunning loaner

was provided courtesy of the Shust.

I think that there may not

be too many more ski days

left so be sure view our last

remaining posts.

Back Home.

I just can't say enough how

coming back to Copper is like

comin' home, and home is where

the heart is...Copper.

Thursday afternoon, Crisp and I

headed to Copper despite overcast

skies, and even flurries, because

in a matter of minutes the sun is

sure to come out. Sure enough it did.

This Billy was giving me the stink eye

on the way there.Crisp in Copper Bowl.

come back, bye. Wulf

Spring Broke Basin

Its hard to find fault on a

beautiful day such as this,

if any did exist though it would

probably be that it was a little

crowded and icy... bitch, bitch, bitch,

I know. Seriously Arapahoe Basin

welcomed the Afternoon Ski Club

this Friday afternoon, and it was

pretty sweet.A rare crowd at Pali lift. Very gusty on the North Pole
Crisp and his fancy new jacket

on Pali face.

Matt gettin' phat in the park.

We're not done yet either, and

you should'nt be done visiting this

blog , so until next time, buh-bye.

Wilkommen to Vail

It's springtime in the Vail Valley,

throngs of spring break refugees

from all across this big world are

collecting in the Vail Village,the

Euros with their very furry

footwear, brightly lit one piece

ski suits, and those always

charming attitudes as well as

the Billies in their ski attire

emblazoned with longhorns, A & M's,

Cowboy stars, or anything that screams

YEEEAAAHH! Y-ALLL! Um frum

TEXAS! And denim ski dungarees

to complete the Billie uniform.

Even a couple of clowns such as

Mean Gene and myself found ourselves

there on Wednesday to check it out.

Vail ain't had much of a base all

season, today it was reported to be

a meager 45", not too good for March.

The sun was out partially, not

enough to slush things up, so

much of the skiing was very icy.

The (Al) Gore Range looms across the valley.
The Mean one takes on Lovers Leap.
Beyond Minturn to the South panorama.

Brown spots at the Orient Express.

What the hell is this doing here?Blue Sky Basin.Of course I had to take this one. Rock on. Gobs of Mobs in the Troughs.
Bakin' the Back Bowls.

Hope you're diggin' the pictures

more are on the way, but this season

will be over before too long so check

for the exciting conclusion, same Wulf

time, same Wulf channel.

Back on the Jane Gang.

Nice to be back, if only for a day.

Monday at Winter Park/ Mary Jane,

amazing weather today as I got to

refamiliarize myself with those legendary

big long bump runs which made me

ski like a little girlie-man, mostly.

Take your pick, bumps to the left,

moguls to the right. Those people partyin' at the bus had a good time.
Closed, bummer.

Meanwhile, somewhere else,

Mr. Kody was acting squirrely.

Was it because of ... this guy? Thats nuts.

A Vail trip is in the works for Wednesday,

check back with us to see what transpires.

The Dog Days of March.

Those warm and sunny spring skiin' days

are back at the Basin. Wednesday, at the

crack of noon I arrived, took a run, then

met up with the Shust, who drove all the

way up, but forgot his ski's, ouch. A.S.C.

members look out for one another so I

loaned my boards out so Shusts trip out

would'nt be a total wash. The Basin's

East Wall opened up today, but as is

usual, 'twas very rocky. I checked it out

but did'nt go in too far, I scored a few

fresh lines, as well as a couple of new

dings on on my ski's bases. All in all

it was very decent.

rrrr?
No warm and fuzzy welcome here.
Many fresh lines... many hidden rocks.
This platform in the foreground is

where the avalanche charges are

launched onto the East Wall...fun.

Thanks for looking, stop back soon.

Let's Go Bowling!

Today we bowled and did'nt even

need to reserve a lane. The Shust

and I took advantage of a warm and

sunny afternoon to have some runs

at Breckenridges Horseshoe Bowl,

Imperial Bowl, Peaks 7's Whale's

Tail, Y-chute, and Art's Bowl,all

via loops on T-bor and Imperial

Express lift.It was fast, steep,

and mostly soft for big turns.

Sometimes slabby, one slab actually

hit a buddy of Mr.Vinnie Ortega

who we took a run with on Art's Bowl,

it was so steep that all of these icy

chunks are flying past, and at you

as you blast downhill, sure enough

...Bam! one hit that guy's face,

drawing some blood,

that's some vicious snow .

From Imperial, looking north to Peak 7.
From atop Peak 7.
Looking into Arts Bowl and

out across Breck and beyond.

Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust.
How Frosty gets to work.

I think that we were very satisfied

with todays adventures, and will

surely be back for more, will you?

....please do.

Todays Episode..."Blinded by the white" or.... "Ice to meet you."

This single picture tells the story of today.

It was nearly too cold to take a picture.

Crisp and I bundled and bucked up to face

temps near zero at Breckenridge. We ARE

getting snow, it's been quite nice this week.

The A.S.C. also ventured to Keystone on

Monday, I forgot my camera however,

we were running so late it was after 2:00 pm

when we got on the hill.

Thanks for the visit, come back again
