I think the forecast of super warm spring skiing has everyone a little gun shy about the groomer skis we have with K2 but if we start out with cold snow in the morning, these skis will rock!

Or in my case, the quiver needs. But I love carving skis. Heck, I ski the slush on my Rallies, when I could be using the wider and longer powertracks. Another thing to consider for carvers is that the slide side is easily accessible from where we are, and it typically starts firmer. We can scout the mountain collectively and share info on how the different runs are skiing ...

Ok folks, with Mamie not making it, which means it will take me another year to get to meet her, I have one buddy ticket available. According toe Mt Rose's page those are $70. We need to go to the ticket window before 9am. I drive 3.5 hours but I am shooting to be there 8:30, I normally make it. [ EDIT: THIS TICKET IS ALREADY TAKEN ]

Long story short, is anybody looking for a buddy ticket? Please answer this post. First come first serve. I think @John Webb was looking for a deal? I am not sure this is good enough, and I don't see you, John, in the roll call. Anyway, throwing it our there.

Cheers!

Tomorrow will be a good day to see what skis work best across a very wide variety of conditions, from crusty groomers (hopefully) in the a.m. to snow cones in the later morning.

We will be bringing something for the @Shotzski and some soda water, as well as a few beers:beercheer: that @va_deb donated on the way to the airport, otherwise its BYOB.
And, of course I always have my :flask:which will likely have :rocks: in it.

Ok, Ok, Ok, I'll take out a pair of K2.
Haven't skied on one for over 15 year. Will blame you if my skiing sucks.
Full disclosure: my skiing always sucks but now I have someone else to blame it on.
