I know u are out at Kirkwood today, I'm looking at the trail map and just curious which runs & lifts are cool? We won't be there till April 6th and not 100% sure if Kirkwood is where we are going yet, but it is a huge possibility due to time of season and snow. thanks you!
how was today.. I think I saw you on the web cam wiping out..... just kidding LOL!! Actually it didn't look all that busy??

wow - what a beautiful day! sorry everyone else missed out :-(
Went up with a buddy of mine (snowboarder). Saw about 5-7 other skiboarders but couldn't catch up as I kept seeing them while I was on the lift and they were below... most were on Snowjams so I wonder if they were rentals from k'wood.

Got a little sunburn on the ol' cheeks, nose, and ears. It mst have been 55F out there today - so nice.

Didn't wipeout at all today so that must not have been me lol...

Here's a list of what we hit today (in order)... keep in mind that I'm a 28yr old male who weighs near 280lbs and is 6'4"... I rode B'Dubs all day though i had my Revolts in the car just in case. I'm fairly timid and have no desire to risk any injury or anything crazy... tried some park elements last year and it didn't go so well.

Don't laugh
