Some good things have come from Davos …

“It was here that Robert Louis Stevenson overcame his writer’s block and finished Treasure Island; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started skiing in the Alps; and Thomas Mann thought of the idea for The Magic Mountain”

Hello internet, I've been lurking for a while but let's try an #introduction.

I'm a recovering tumblr girlie (does fandom exist on mastodon? for better or worse?) who likes #reading, #knitting, and cross-country #skiing as soon as there's enough snow here the #PNW.

I believe in tech that helps build a more liberatory future and want to know what abolitionist, anit-authoritarian #datascience might look like.

Cool, I just remembered to mark my calendar for the third Sunday of January, February, and March: It's the Plumas Ski Club's Historic Longboard Race Revival Series!

A sepia toned landscape photo of about 50 people standing in front of an old wooden ski lodge in the mountains. The ground is snow covered and there are conifer trees in the background behind the lodge. A long narrow sign at ground level reads, "Historic Longboard Revival Series, Plumas Ski Club. Behind the sign are the 50 people balancing vertically many longboard ski that over 6 meters (20 feet) long.

A color landscape photo of two men in old style looking clothes leaning forward and about to launch their longboard skis down a hill. Two other men behind the ski competitors stand watching while a photography across from me is photographing the same scene.

A color landscape photo of two women racing down a snow covered hill on old fashioned longboard skis. They both wear dresses that look old style. Each skier hold a long wood pole with a disk on the bottom. The pole is used as brakes at the bottom of the run.

A color landscape photo of two longboard skiers about half way down the race hill. The old wood ski lodge is seen in the upper right. A crowd of people stand along the race hill in front of the lodge. Tall green conifer trees are seen in the background.

And a couple more landscapes while skiing. It really is scenic up there. #LandsscapePhotography #skiing

Pretty similar to the other picture of the temporary lake on the Ruapehu summit plateau I posted earlier, but a different picture. This one shows the pale blue lake bottom left, with cliffs running along the top 2/3rds, with a partly cloudy sky. The slopes have some chiaroscuro as a result.

This black-and-white picture shows the edge of the summit plateau, which is a snowy slope, with the bright and dark spots of chiaroscuro.

A picture, mostly pink, of a mountaintop with alternating patches of snow and rock. The summit itself is hidden in a cloud.

A view of a building on the Tukino side of Ruapehu in the morning. There is also a tractor to the left. The sky is orange and blue.

Oh, actual pictures of people on skis. Our route was up the Mangatoetoenui Glacier, reaching the Tukino summit, and then back down the same way. #skiing

A skier, skinning up, looks over the edge and down the steep gully. Mostly snow here, but also some rocky cliffs to the right. Sky is white.

Skier near the end of an avalanche debris field which is brown and rocky snow as opposed to the usual white snow. Cliffs and summits in the background under a blue sky at this (earlier) point.

Me, with a white helmet and otherwise dark clothes, preparing to ski down. Thanks to Nicky for taking this picture with my camera!

Red skis attached to a backpack in an A-frame configuration, with a bunch of not-snow outside the Tukino Alpine Sports Club Lodge. Mountains visible in the background.

Next: on a ski trip this past November to Tukino we just had great weather. Should've put on more sunblock, oops. Also I don't know exactly the setting to get good focus on stars, though I figured it out once at Aoraki. #landscapePhotography #skiing

Night sky from Tukino Ski & Alpine Sports Club. Stars are a bit blurry. Te Heu Heu visible to the right, though it's kind of dark. More light behind Ruapehu in centre of image.

Some waterfalls in front of the Te Heu Heu summit which is looming behind. Sky is blue, there is a bunch of snow, and decent amounts of rock.

A rock fin with cloud surrounding it, on the way to the Ruapehu summit plateau.

Te Heu Heu summit looks like it is floating in the clouds. It is mostly rock, but has a little crown of snow just at the top. Picture is monochrome black and white.

Today I completed my first ski tour of the season at the Christlum above Lake Achensee. The route followed the piste, and early-winter snow already covered the surrounding forest and the higher slopes. 😊

Snow-covered mountain landscape with a prominent peak in the background. The sun is partially obscured by thin clouds. In the foreground are coniferous trees with snow on the branches and an open snowfield with faint ski tracks.

時間ギリギリだけど、can anyone recommend great ski-in, ski-out cabins/huts in Japan? Hokkaido, Nagano, Niigata, or preferably Tohoku.

Nothing is better than a cup of hot Starbucks at around 2000 meters high (6500 feet) on snow mountains.

Flashback to nearly two years ago, summer skiing at Mammoth on July 30 and August 1 (last day of the 2022-23 season) on that year with amazingly deep snow. Snow was a little thin in spots but still plenty to ski on up top!
