From today's snow report:
HOT OFF THE PRESS: Lincoln Peak 'official' closing date extended to allow daily operation through Sunday, April 24th...with dates beyond, as conditions allow, TBD!
I had a great orthopedic Doctor that has done many a famous knee. He came in first day and ask what my goals were. I told him I wanted to ski at the same level and he said there is no reason that I couldn't if I worked hard. A good PT guy and hard work are crutial. I also skied at 75% the first 1/2 year after to be safe. All in all the knee is solid and I only have a few aches on cold rainy days.Originally Posted by HowieT2
Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but we still don’t see!

Brilliant!
This should help with my 70+ day goal. (56 so far)
Hopefully a soft powder weekend coming up.
Friend of mine cracked her Tibia on Saturday on Domino trying to ski the hard bumps. Good luck healing and you should be fine. Friend of mine is on his second knee ACL and has been fine with other knee since surgery. He rides a board and also rides dirt bikes. So, you will heal and be back!Originally Posted by "HowieTte
Win may want to think about postponing this Saturday's scheduled pond skimming event. A high of 27 degrees might allow for some ice skimming, but it is definitely going to help prolong/extend our ski season. Long term forecast is for below normal temps for the next week & a half.

A few years ago, it was 22 degrees. The water was warmer than the air. I think they said they would delay it if it was less than 20 degrees.Originally Posted by gostan
Pond skiimming is on. We are already building the pond, and I will be the first across. It looks like the sun will be out and thus a nice day Saturday as well as Sunday.
Any recommendations for a good knee replacement doctor that will replace with a knee that is geared towards skiing? I am sick of being on the sidelines for 9 years now and really want to ski again. I've been told I am too young, was 34 at the time and now 43. Potentially need a double knee replacement or at the very least 1 knee replaced and 1 knee totally reconstructed. I am tired of being bitter person in the winter.Originally Posted by Hawk
I don't get it either. April when the weather is nice is the best time to ski and ride. I see it at my house too. Only a handful of people will come up after pond skimming weekend. That is why it needs to be pushed back a few weeksOriginally Posted by win

I'm having a sale on a used 43 year old knee. If you're interested I can show you my MRI come monday.
From a family perspective, the kids spring sports pick up in April so that may be why.Originally Posted by Xskier

The main reason Pond Skimming is done in the end of March/beginnning of April is snow. If we waited until mid-April, the likelihood of having enough stockpiled to make a decent pond is much lower. We like clear water and a massive pond!
As for getting people here later in the season, we are slowly turning the tide, but other activities like Howie mentioned are a constant distraction. Perhaps we should just cut all school spring sports to help with stretched school budgets. It would be a Win-win ...

I'd rather have the unseasonable cold this weekend then MLK, but, It could give the term "zipper crust" a new meaning if it freezes the pond a bit.Originally Posted by atkinson
