Andy Mahre and myself recently took a quick trip to India... well maybe not too quick... it took Mr. Mahre 48hrs longer then the typical length of travel time to India which by itself is approximately... 26 hrs...He stayed approx. 72hrs until heading back to Seattle, which took another 36hrs due to an unfortunate 10hr. layover in Delhi. My point is, Mr. Mahre skied less days in India then he traveled. Poor Guy. Anyway, this is our trip, in a nutshell. Even after about a month without snowfall, we were still able to find a couple turns with good snow... which is surprising to find anywhere that long after snowfall. Gulmarg is truly a special place and I'd like to thank our kiwi hosts for setting us up and showing us a good time, and their Kashmiri counterparts for showing us around. Thanks

Friday 13th
Pep's log, earth date: Friday, Nov. 13th 2009
For some reason this season has been speculated to be a grand one, especially for the northwest because of this little elusive weather pattern called El Niño...for those of you who don't know a lick of Spanish that translates into... the boy. I think I've heard rumors of this boy making an appearance for many years but this year, I am a believer. This little boy has been brewing some serious storms with the most precipitation dropping in the Northwest! Baker opened with an 80in base on Nov. 12th. Eight - Zero - That's 7 feet ladies and gentleman and needs to be written in the history books. I can remember growing up in Southern Oregon and not expecting one single flake until around my Nov. 22nd birthday. Now we have 80in. bases before the 22nd. WOW! people, that is exciting! So, if this storm system is still El Niño, then what kind of tempest do you think El Hombre could produce. I am content with what El Niño has provided thus far but I can't help to wonder and dream about El Hombre. I know... sounds a little cross gender doesn't it... Still... I have wet dreams about El Hombre.
