also pleased with the fact that I skinned the 630 ft vert from lodge to roundtop in just over 30 minutes which is a blistering pace for me

Looking forward to more pics!
I made it to Timberline on Jan. 21. Was with a teen who can ski trees. We had a ball finding untracked in the Glades. Hoping to get back there in late Feb.
Flying to Denver tomorrow. Mostly skiing around Dillong but also spending 3 days skiing Wolf Creek. Will get there soon after the big storm on Wed night.

well... the reason that the TR got cut short is my trip got cut short, indeed apparently my season is done. Those pics were Feb. 1 and that night I had some noticeable leg and back pain which I had actually noticed slightly the night before I left NC.
Next morning, my birthday, snow depth at Canaan was built even further to 18-20 in. I was hurting but rose to the occasion. Pain was acceptable when on skis, intolerable moving around otherwise. No sleep that night, and I drove six hours the next day straight to ortho urgent care in Durham,
Since then, prednisone, MRI, epidural steroid injection which had little effect. So back surgery is next.
Anyway I got some good turns that day
Inbounds
what I call Darkside trees had barely been touched
the drive home reflected my mental state
Farewell ski season 20-21, I barely knew you

Say it ain't so. That's terrible news, David.
Godspeed and best wishes to a full, speedy recovery.

Dave - what a bittersweet story. Really good you made it home upright. Nice shots of the meadows and downtown. No snow in town when we were there. We’ll ski next year. See you soon bud.

Great pictures. So sorry to hear of your physical ailments. I hope you can find the right solution for full recovery. Last season in Feb. 2021 I did something like 19 days at 15 areas in 13 states, starting at Cataloochie on the Indy pass. Came to the conclusion that everywhere it's pretty much all the same, up down repeat. Need to try skinning etc.
