I'm completely hooked. Did my first trip on my new skis. Skied into Great Camp Santanoni today. Weather was perfect. The only bad part of the day was the face plant I did coming down the last hill before reaching the lake. I need to learn a little more control.

I'm sure I'm going to hear it from Gremil, because I went with waxless skis.

Hey Pennsy, what do you think of hitting Allen? ski into the base, 1.5 miles up, 1.5 miles down and then ski out.

Skiing into Avalanche Pass would be fun. Allen sounds interesting, but keep in mind that skiing with a full pack or pulling a sled on terrain that isn't dead flat is a lot of work.

Don't fret about Grems and waxless. He confessed to me last week that he wished he had waxless because the conditions up his way are so varied.

Careful what you say or Gremlin might wax your fanny.

I was thinking with skis Allen might be doable in a day. The problem with that mountain it the loge approach, which is mostly flat.
