Were you skiing over by Flypaper? https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5864/42574.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5864/42574.page Sat, 28 Mar 2009 22:56:08 GMT <blockquote> <div> <cite>Brucie wrote:</cite>In that case I might head up tomorrow.

Spring Run was icy on some aspects but it is pretty obvious where you need to go to find the nice snow, doesn't take anything special. Tomorrow forecast looks similar to what it was meant to be today but today was truly fantastic. <br /> <br /> If I didn't have a whole load of coursework to do I would definitely be going up for the morning.. <br /> <br /> If you do go, take photos! https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5864/42576.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5864/42576.page Sat, 28 Mar 2009 22:59:02 GMT <blockquote> <div> <cite>Pablo Escobar wrote:</cite>When the snow melts...</div> </blockquote> <br /> <br /> Monday then :mrgreen: https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5864/42582.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5864/42582.page Sat, 28 Mar 2009 23:10:55 GMT
