SNOW DANCE DENIED: Pre-Season Drytooling for Desperate Skiers
Still checking the snow report every hour like a deranged meteorologist? Waxing skis that haven't seen snow since April? We get it. The mountains are naked, your soul is crying, and you've watched every Warren Miller film twice.
Time to channel that pent-up winter stoke into something equally ridiculous: swinging ice tools at a climbing wall like you're battling invisible moguls. Think of it as ski conditioning, but with more bleeding and less après.
Join our crew of snow-starved psychos for an evening of vertical suffering. We'll practice our pole plants (with axes), work those ski legs (while hanging upside down), and tell lies about last season's face shots between desperate gasps for air. Consider it occupational therapy for powder withdrawal.
Bring your tools and that desperate gleam in your eye that says "I'd ski gravel if it was steep enough." Because if you're going to obsessively refresh OpenSnow anyway, might as well do it with pumped forearms!
Warning: Will not actually make it snow, but will make you too tired to care. 🎿⛏️
