Bummer, snow didn't happen here......had wanted to head up to Barton which had a base of three inches and hoped the new snow would make for some decent turns on the Barton Golf course....One hole the ledges would have been neat and Top of the World would have been even better...Oh well! Did get a hundred and fifty yard ride up on Little Mountain....Turns not that much but extending the knee and riding the rail was seriously wonderful...TM

On little Mountain we are up to @ 20 inches with mush-crush on the bottom and light fast 8 inches of powder on top....So heading them down is a blast...Not to much worry about anything down there and the skinny slicers blew the snow apart....500 verts of mid winter snow in November.....It doesn't get much better than that!!!! The ARCS....GAWD....TM

Thanks for the updates and tele preachings TM! That is so cool about the E109 order being the only pair sent over.....what length did you buy? I"m sure you're gonna like 'em - will be much lighter than your older ones

Thanks C, season is starting really well!...Below zero the next two nights and hopefully that will make sub surface powder into very fast powder....Really like the older version of the e109's...will see about the newer version...Telekid gets my rejects which there are many of.....Outtabounds, boundless, Rotta BC 90's...the most recent....Strange that the 109's are not used in the States....The ones I purchased are waxable...Love the speed and instant acceleration....Also love harassing Telewheels on his BC Objectives....Like him eating cold smoke!!!! Old farts do that kind of thing...See some new powder out there so off to the hills...TM

"C" the 109's are 190's....Figure they are the up and down ski....have some decent cruisers with a 205 and a 215 e99...Snow was good yesterday with some sub surface grabbing but speed put that to rest....Blue was a good wax and the base has covered all debris and stone with a heavy layer.....Good up and down skiing...Still have not cruised the gonz as it's still hunting season..Three below zero this morning and should be colder tomorrow morning...Constant winds make for a big Burrrrrrr....TM

4 inches of very cold powder (-6) and it made for excellent arcs....Watched Teleking blow up cold smoke and put a new film of snow on passing trees....Continue to build a wicked base....Rain tomorrow...Ski to the Highlands camp?.....5-10 inches this Tuesday?....Great start! Rebounds worked well but not as good as the skinnier e109's....When the boys heard new 109's had "Nordic Rocker" they talked about the time we skied at Squallywood with somebody going backwards as we skied down a trail,,,laughed at that....TM

Boys scored a beautiful steep line up on Little Mountain...Said it was as good as it gets....IN NOVEMBER!!!!!! Raining good yesterday so headed to Teleknob.....and....got smothered in VERY heavy snow....Rained less on the heights than down below....NO animal tracks or Hunter tracks....Snow is deep up there and Deer have moved down the hills....Be hard for a ridge runner to get to a ridge if you get my snow drift.....Headed to Snowshoes but he had disconnected his keg beer set up so....drifted to Telekings and got whipped by Telekid playing pool....Waiting....TM
