California/Nevada 2017/2018 Southern California Thread - Big Bear, Mountain High, Baldy, Wrightwood, etc.

It's never too early to start a ski thread! Since I am starting to think skiing ... I thought I'd get this going! Here's hoping we get tons of snow this year. Let the snow dancing begin!

 

[Larry]

Looking forward to the upcoming season too. I hope to get up there(SS and BM) about 8-10 times.

The air is getting crispier at night. We are going to try and go early season to BB to get some lessons in for the kiddos before our big Christmas trip to MM.

It was 38 degrees yesterday morning in BBL, coldest day this summer, high was only 58. Mid-September and the wildflowers are still crazed.

Unless things change for next year, here are two of my BB trips planned already. Unfortunately, both if these coincide with holidays. I'll have to brave the crowds the best I can

the rest of my days will be hit/miss depending on the weather/snow and work...

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

As usual, we will be weekend warriors! Bob and I will be there every weekend and are always interested in meeting up with anybody who wants to ski some runs! If a good storm comes in this year, I plan to *cough* and then *cough some more.*

That made me laugh!

I hit SS on a pretty regular basis, but not on weekends. I go on Thursday or Friday. Looking forward to it already.

Guns have been on for 12+ hours now at Summit and Bear, it will not be long with these cold dry Santa Ana conditions.

Had my 16/17 ended April 3rd instead of August 3rd? Probably, but since we got those Mammoth days already, I'll wait... at least til they have shut off the guns.

Ah. Good man. Thanks. Since we will be up there this weekend anyway, we will take some laps on the WROD. I completely lack pride!

 

[Mothertucker]

I'll be out at SS tomorrow. Bear base sure looks different without old chair #1.

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

We’ll be at SS tomorrow also.

 

[Mothertucker]

Rumors of my presence at SS tomorrow have been greatly exaggerated, looks like I will be relegated to M-F skiing next week. Tough duty.
