General Bluster

Not good today... not good.

Darth Ninja reinstated.

I'll try again soon.

s.w.

8 on 35

It became winter again

all of the sudden. Loveland reported

8" of the freshness today, so we eventually

meandered into the lot at about 1:20

for an afternoon ski on this the 35th

post of the season.

"It's a stick, it's a camera, it's a stick with a camera,

it's camera on a stick!"

Where'd all the rocks and scrapes go?

Welcome Spring.

Happy St. Patches Day!

St. Patches is the patron

saint of dirt spots. Today he came 

to bless Loveland with much thawing.

I was there too with Captain Vag.

It was warm and beautiful, also

sad as I watched the snowpack

melt away and seep through 

the parking lot.

"We got the beets."

6 more days to 40 days this season.

And Somewhere A Fat Lady Warms Up.

Is this really it?

The beginning of the end?

It looks like the end of April out here,

not March. A couple of more weeks

of this may hasten the end of our season.

Or will a freak end of season storm

bail us out for a bit longer, like a

government stimulus package?

B.O.B. and me point at you, yeah, you.

Further evidence of global warming.

Even furtherer evidence of global warming.

More furtherer evidence's of global warming.

If that thin strip of snow disappears, countless

souls could be lost forever atop Loveland...

Or perhaps they could take their skis or boards

off and walk down, but what fun would that be?

S.W.

Indigestable Fortitude.

Wait...What?

Yeah I don't know either.

It took some courage coming up

to LL this Thursday knowing that

it may very well suck. I suppose

that some blind faith led

Cap. V.  and me to believe it might

turn out to be okay. Maybe it's

the inevitablity of seasons

end looming. Whatever the case,

we took a chance and lost,

it sucked alright, but a bad

day on the hill is still better

than a good day being attacked

by bees, right.

Glacial.

Yep, there we were.

It's winding down fast,

unless a fresh few feet

of snow shows up soon.

Bad Song Monday.

This afternoon at

Loveland was nearly perfect.

Perfect were it not for Captain 

Vagabonds persistant singing 

of the same awful song.

Physical retribution was threatened,

silence prevailed, there was

much rejoicing....yeh.

We hooked up with B.O.B.

and wife Liz for a run, and

conjured plans for a return

to Casa Bonita, but that's a

whole different adventure.  

L.I.Z. & B.O.B.

Captain Vagabond salutes the Dark Overlord

Not much symmetry here, decent snow though.

Maybe snow tommorrow...

but how much if any????

Look again soon

...And The Skies Were Not Cloudy All Day...

Well barely cloudy anyway.

On my way back from Wolf Creek I

thought I would drop in to see what

was happening at Monarch Mountain

since it was on the way home. It helps that I had

a couple of comp days left from my Loveland

season pass. Yesterday's forecast did'nt look

very promising, but like most forecasts, it

was wrong. It was warm and inviting today.

I went it alone today, but had my tunes,

and that's all I needed.

Welcome.

Spring is here, possibly more snow

coming I hear though, we shall see.
