Related: About this forumWelp, looks like I won the snow lottery (western ME)
Got at least half a foot and it's still coming down. Wet, heavy crapohola.
Glad I went down to Camp last night.
Got power. So that's a good thing...
Maybe one last ski day this week????
Gotta look on the light side...
Yup

(142,967 posts)My dad used to go fly fishing. I still have his bamboo pole (sans reel). He had a kit that he kept in his closet and I used to like getting it out and looking at all the cool stuff in there (feathers, beads, small lead sinks, hooks, twine, etc).

Enjoy while you can! Sounds like it's probably red wax!

It's all I can do to get out the door now.

(92,948 posts)But this time of year, as it warms up a lot while out there, I found I had to use a liquid red wax that I could apply right there in the middle of nowhere because the snow would start to cake up on them like thick mud. It became part of the routine, standing on one ski while scraping the five pounds of snow off the bottom of the loose ski and applying, like a big shoe polish applicator, the red wax stuff so I could make it back to the road.
Springtime skiing.

(92,948 posts)Ideal conditions exist. What style of skiing?
When I ski, it's x-country classic, nordic freestyle or plain old bushwhacking on metal edged, scaled telemark. I never have $ for lift fees so I just go out on the trails.

(92,948 posts)I just looked outside and there's a full on blizzard going on! I can barely see 50ft!
There was a slight chance of snow predicted. It isn't supposed to be any accumulation, the ground hasn't been frozen for weeks. Springtime in the Rockies!
