Plan to be heading down to Mammoth in May ....... just felt a little twinge of nervousness about 395 access

Hope you guys (and homes) are all safe with this AR approaching. Great video tahoebc by the way.

I was in SLC this week, and a 38 inch snowfall over, Saturday, Sunday caused havoc in LCC road. We toured Saturday before storm hit, off of BCC, then sat out traffic issues on Sunday. People waited 3 hours to get up LCC, when it opened late.
Had a great day of resort powder on Monday at Brighton.

Quad that sounds like relatively good news. You might consider a ems/tens unit, there not to pricey, I actually built muscle mass with the ems when I was non weight bearing for 12 weeks after my accident. might help with getting those muscles to for again.

Been in Chamonix for a bit heading back in a couple days

Cham.. Wow ! Snow a bit thin?

Thanks for the advice, I have access to a Tens but going to wait a bit to see on how long my leg will be restricted, right now I am at three weeks and going to remain on the walker till I am pain free without meds. Actually not going to do anything till I am pain free without meds. I made a mistake this weekend by experimenting with my bike trainer and paid a setback the next day. I was on meds and the bike felt OK at a reduced pace and resistance. Next day(yesterday), I was hurting and learned a lesson.

Anyway, you at twelve weeks, sounds tough. For me? My problem is that my life is not balanced, strictly physical and the loss of going outside and playing is hard to handle...........Have fun in Euro, you deserve it.......................

Yea probably flew from the snowiest place on earth to the least snowy, ha! Storms have been hitting the area since we got here, but they’re hurting big time here, had some powder days when the weather clears enough for the high stuff to open, otherwise your stuck skiing down lower (in the rain) flying back tomorrow.

The rain brought an end to our deep powder days, but a little sun left stashes of creamy corn snow on southern-exposed slopes. I was able to find a good one today.

[aqua toque]

That's really great but what about the dog?

[jtb]

That's Astro the powderhound. His descent style is controlled chaos. I can only get footage of it in deep powder where I can descend a little faster than he can. He was right behind me at the bottom.

[tahoebc]

Nice JTB, I remember eyeballing those south lines when I ice skated up there earlier in the season.

found good corn due south today also

[tahoebc]

Saint paddy’s day corn

Nice dog/skier follow shot right at the end!

Some good dog content in this thread. I like the goggles!

This is a 25 foot high roof. That race ain't happening unless it's a snow run. We have another winter storm warning for next week.
