The storm arrived not on little cats feet but like a train. Points north and west of Milwaukee saw snow depths of more then 15 inches. Let the skiing begin.

Greg Stump Classics
We ordered the 4-Pack of ski classics from the U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame & Museum: The Blizzard of Aahh's, License to Thrill, Groove: Requiem in the Key of Ski and finally P-Tex Lies and Duct Tape.
If you have not watched these classics you may want to watch them.

Skier tales
Wow. What a weekend. Presidents Day. Traditionally a busy and profitable stretch for resorts.
We managed to teach three ski classes at Cascade Mountain as well as rip a few NASTAR runs without any lasting physical or emotional scars.
The next day was a different story. For some reason my snowboard was calling me. A voice from the basement whispered "take me out." Or was that my wife. Wait. Is she in the basement?
Actually it was visa versa. It took me out. The board did. Ouch. I prefer standing now. But I think I am getting the feel of it, again.
Sometimes it is good to try something new and feel like a beginner again. Not sure if this was one of those times. Arriving at the local Highlands of Olympia I received a hero's welcome, a place I toiled as an ski instructor some years ago.
But riding the Board made me feel like a novice.
Get out of your comfort zone. Try something new!
But be careful. Ouch!

All Mountain Skis and Mid Fats
Spent a few days at Jackson Hole. Skied the Rossignol Experience88 and loved it. As the storm continued the 2nd day in the Tetons and the powder increased switched the next day to the Dynastar Legend, which is 94 underfoot.
Both skis are fun.
When in Jackson see the crew at Teton Valley Sports.
They offer Black Diamond, Volkl, Faction, Dynastar, Rossignol, Salomon and Blizzard
From 76 to 110 underfoot. Rip it up.

Snow
Snow is forecast to fall Thursday and be of the light fluffy variety. This is the first storm of the strange 2011-2012 warm winter. Get ready to rip.
