I\'m offski

Went to leave for Sierra Nevada today for a few days skiing. Put off till tomorrow cos they were having blizzards so lifts/runs closed and road dodgy. Loading the chains on the 4x4 tomorrow and going for it.

If its any consolation to poor old UK residents and their weather, the Marina has been lashed with heavy rain and E6-7's today, students went no where on day one /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Not been there before, Phil got taken up there when he first came over, he'd never been skiing before so Neil took him to the top on the lift, then disappeared leaving him to fend for himself. Not a good move, in fact bloody irresponsible.

Should be back by Sunday so hope to see you Mon in Marina

Little tip, dont hire your ski gear in town. get your lift pass and take the lift to the top of the slope, there is a hire shop at the top and it means you can leave all your clobber in a locker, much easier. Have fun!! and dont break anything.

You dont, 99% at SN come back down on the lift. The first lift takes you to base station. then you get other lifts to the slopes. you would only ski to very bottom if you like black slopes.!!!!!

Re: I\'m offski

Just got back from 4 days of great snow conditions Sierra Nevada. tis only 2.5 hrs drive away so will probably go back in April apparantly the snows good then also with less peeps.

Tony, by the way the Gondola takes you to the mid station it true, however you can ski back down to the town on the "Rio" run which aint that bad, says blue but red in places.

Had a great time and got used to the carver skis, not been for 8 years so they were'nt around back then.
