Nice, very cool that you got to share the experience with your son!

Yeah cept you been waiting since the 80s. It's kinda like when Jeter won the World Series in the beginning of his career. Daniel will be thinkin he's going to get them every year.

"no family on a Slides day" rule

LOL FTW!

I realized there was zero chance we'd ever find each other. Glad you scored!

This looks as hard if not as Paradise. Wow.

  A job well done!

awesome!!  stoked for you and your boy!  

love the no family on the slide day rule!!!!   

Just don't be like Mattingly going to the playoffs in 95 and then calling it quits after hitting a respectable .295 and tearing it up in the playoffs.

^^ Thanks all, though I have to admit I'm a little bit jealous of you guys who got 4 or 5 laps.
Harv, you got any photos to post?  It's not like you to not have a trip report up yet...

"I had meant to read the Slide Guide Friday night, but a few Guinness got in the way.  So we headed in without a real strategy other than the idea that Slide 1 would get the most traffic so Slide 2 would be better."

Adding Guinness to my Slide training regimen.

Always read the Slide Guide!...

...written by three hugely stoked and ripping Whiteface skiers.  Really good and fun info.

Jeff - I will post some pics soon, and more to follow after that.

Agreed, a stout training regimen is good for all skiers!
