Got the other BMW half un-buried at this point. Had to drive it to work the last two days. :(

Ok Paul here’s one looking out my back door at 5:00 pm this evening. Your old stompin ground at Topeka Kansas. Been a long time since the weather stations have issued a blizzard warning but that’s what they are telling us tonight.

Keeping with Kansas tradition we had a good covering of ice first.

I will try to post results of storm tomorrow.

Here's some snow pictures then; the back bowls area at Lake Louise, looking up into Boomerang Bowl:

And the south (Whitehorn) side, with Bow Valley in the background (which many of you have probably ridden):

Kevin,

That looks like Chatanika Lodge. Do you ride your machines out there from Fairbanks or trailer them and ride from the lodge?

[jamesdunn]

Rinty,here is a shot of the ski school at Club Med, Copper Mountain. I am in there (Back row, far left.) Not as good as the photos you posted! But hey....there is a bit of snow in the photo!

[rinty]

Thank you; it was one of those insane, perfect, days.

You must have had some great times, with that group.

My brother spent many years in Breckenridge, and avoided getting swallowed up in the Devil's Triangle. He lived within gliding distance of the base of Chair 6.

My brother spent many years in Breckenridge, and avoided getting swallowed up in the Devil's Triangle. He lived within gliding distance of the base of Chair 6.

I did have some great times with this group. I still stay up with many of them and many are still in the ski business. There was a lot of hard living, about as much as my body could endure. At the Club you pretty much ski/teach all day and party with the guests most of the night. I was the second oldest guy in this wild bunch.

I took my full cert. PSIA test at Breckenridge many years ago. I recall a run known as Devil's Crotch. it must have been part of Devil's Triangle. Good for your brother living in Breck! What is he up to these days?
JD

[rinty]

...as much as my body could endure...

I get tired just thinking about the partying we did in those days. :laugh I had my CSIA Level I, and was on the ski patrol as well, so there were many nights on hill.

The Devil's Triangle in Breckenridge was the area between Fatty's, Angels Rest, and Seamus O'Toole's saloons. :D My brother's been back in Canada for many years. He's sort of retired, and does construction work part time.

Here's another snow shot, with my daughter Bri and a friend:

http://rinty.smugmug.com/Other/old-portfolio/P1010010/213515018_xCT44-M.jpg

This is at Sunshine Village on Wawa Ridge with Mt. Bourgeau behind us, and Goats Eye Mountain in the right background.

[jamesdunn]

Great photo! Thanks for posting. My daughter's name is Briana, mostly known as Bree to her friends and family. Very similar to your daughter's name. Thanks for the information about Breck. My partying days are behind me. I find fun and entertainment in different areas these days.

Kevin,

Don

We ride them. We try to go out a couple of times a year for a "Chicken Run". The lodge serves all you can eat Chicken on Sundays.

Should we send relief boxes of warm clothing down there to you Texans? Looks pretty rough.

It will melt before the boxes arrive

Actually it melted two hours after the picture was taken. It was still below freezing, but Mr. Sun gathered up the flakes.

Thanks for the offer to come to our rescue!

I agree. The date time stamp really completes the story, drawing your eye into the image in an oh-so-subtle way.

[r11rs94]

I agree, they should be done away with. :thumb

Four goldens. Three play constantly. Barley, my sidecar companion (Pg 12 of the February 11 ON) hunts constantly so I rarely get all four in one photo. I keep cutting back his food and he keeps getting chunkier. He looks like a bratwurst with a tail.

I discovered today that he was digging up potatoes from last year's crop (under three feet of snow, no less!) and chowing down.
