If the house gets in the process of being sold by the end of the month I might have to jump on that....

Went skiing this past New Year's Day.  Had about a foot of snow just before the holiday.  Ski conditions were pretty good, but cold.

Went again today, with all the sunshine and warm temps this week, the conditions were still very good.  Not everything is open, but still not bad at all.

I should have called you Dave, I was up there both those days as well. I see they had 3' last night and temps look better there than in Rapid so hopefully conditions remain good.

I stopped getting notifications somehow Damn! Pete and I talked about going skiing today (or I was trying to talk him into it).  Ended up snowshoeing in spearfish canyon instead.

Was it busy? Figured it would be. First nice day we've had for awhile!!

Stacy, it was actually really good snow conditions today.  Still fairly cold, but okay.  It would be fine for a Minnesotan descendant!

I did 26 runs and Gerry did 29.  Mike and Shawna about 25 runs.  Gerry has now made his goal of 350 runs so far this year.  One dollar per lift ride!

I had the high speed today, 58.3 mph, Mike had a 56.xx, but he had to pee and there was NO catching him.  Gerry and I tried keeping up with him on that run, but it was impossible!

Stacy I forgot - I'll let you know sooner in the future.  Sorry.

Thanks for letting me tag along on the slopes today! It sure takes the sting out of winter.

Please join me in wishing Lonesome Dave a happy 63rd birthday on Monday. Also check out his new middle name and the picture of him from last week. I only wish I had go pro today when Dave fell off the chair and had to be picked up by the lift operator!!! Any body watching the Terry Peak web cam had to pee their pants laughing if they saw Dave's wreck today.

Sounds like fun even though I'd never be able to keep up with you all! 

And falling off the chairlift Dave?? That I'm sorry I missed

I have never fallen off the chairlift before, but now twice this year!  Is this a pattern?  Several weeks ago my granddaughter crossed in front of me as we were getting off the lift and tripped me up.  :P  Now yesterday.  I actually think I stayed on the seat too long and was starting to take me back to the bottom, (senior moment) at that point the chair pushed me over.  But, none of these were my fault!  :o

I can tell you getting back up on your skies on level snow when your old, fat, and weak is really hard to do!

Thanks to Gerry for my birthday gift, a printed sweatshirt, "I do all my own stunts."  And, both Mike and Gerry for all the beer.

It was lots of fun.  8)

if the forecast is accurate should have great snow for the weekend, see you there!

Hope Lead seeing some snow.  Haven't seen one flake yet of the 1-2' snow we are supposed to be getting in RC today.  Even put myself through the torture of Walmart last night preparing for this snowpocalypse.

I hope to go on Friday.  I have to get dug out first!  Then my pickup broke today as I was going home in a blizzard.  Alternator again, fourth or fifth one in last 10 years.  >:(  I'll probably go Saturday and/or Sunday too.  I'll be in touch.

Gerry is out of luck, he's in Pacific northwest area.

Damn I hate living so far away and missing all the fun with you folks.  On top of all that, I have new tires and the Beta suspension tuned up for my weight ready for the spring rally and a dang family function pops up I can't get out of.
Title: Re: DDSR ski team
Post by: greatbuffalo on March 14, 2019, 10:49:54 PM
I may be up there tomorrow as well Fletch. I will let you know.

*EDIT*  Ain't gonna happen. Not a road open North, East, South or West out of Gordon NE.

Maybe will come out on Monday and ski Tues or Wednesday is anyone can finagle that.

Title: Re: DDSR ski team

Post by: Lonesome Dave on March 18, 2019, 09:18:40 PM
I can't either.  Not sure if Gerry is back in SD yet.  Joel, was talking about going one of those days.

Post by: gerry1eye on March 19, 2019, 08:53:34 AM

Well, that's it for this year.  On to riding!!!

Post by: Lonesome Dave on April 01, 2019, 07:38:59 AM
It really was a great season.  I had lots of fun with our ski team!

Yesterday Gerry and I made 33 runs.  Snow was basically good all day.  We were both in a mood......  We'd decided to leave several times.  At noon, 20 runs, then 25, then finally we were done and got to the lodge.......oh hell lets go do another one, and off we went again.

We both pushed ourselves and set land speed records at least for us.  Gerry did a 61 or 62 and although I was right behind him, my tracker didn't register anything above 54.  When I got home, I discovered it was recording, but the main screen locked up.  I actually set my personal best at 61.xx mph.

It was a good day, I skied all day, got home started tinkering with motorcycles and ended up riding two of them until I got cold.

Good! Enough of this Dakota Dual Sport Skiers stuff! I got on a bike yesterday for about 5 minutes, life keeps getting in the way. Better days are coming! I put those bar risers that I got from Abercrombie on the Beta yesterday, it was supplied with 6.5mm allen heads? REALLY??? I have a ton of tools but not one 6.5mm. Why wouldn't they just use the same size that came out of it??

You ought to come skiing sometime Grubbie. I know you would like it.  :D

Post by: ADV Piglet on April 05, 2019, 06:34:22 PM
I had a great time the one time I made it out skiing!  Next year I'll try for at least 2x.

But yes, now it's time to ride. Finally warm enough for me today. Took the vstrom out for a scenic ride around Mt Rushmore.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190405/d75e35767054f0f74935f979567eece2.jpg)
