i love the stoke on this site i must say, but it almost seems too good, liek ill never be able to ski it. I compare it to how helmetcam footage looks easy to ski, but you know that theyre skiing on a vertical walll. There just something too good about this stoke that doesn't actually make me want to ski, liek i can't really relate to it...(can you tell im an east-coaster)
anyways on that note
Relatable Stoke
its jay peak---i kind of twitch when i watch some of these
Dear Jay Peak,
I recently visited your website.
You need a new cameraman and someone who can ski
Yours etc....
its less the skiiers, in fact its not teh skiiers at all, its just the trails look really similar to those that i actually ski, except they have a couple feet of snow on them, its imagining yourself there
and being glad you get to ski somewhere else :)Quote:

Thats why i have to go out west every year to keep my sanity.
Last Season:
Mt. Tremblant (3)
Jackson Hole (7)
This Season:
Alta/Snowbird(7)
Whistler(7)
Killington(5)
Other than that its all local mole hills :( :( :(
This season better than last season, next season better than this.
The plan is to eventually move west, we'll see. I have to finish school first, but i guess i could always transfer somewhere out there.
Some people would pop a boner for boot deep.
Others take an AK size run, double overhead face shots, and a Hooker named Asia just to get off.
I guess it's all relative to your personal experience. The more you get, the more you need...
hence the sickness!
I've seen some really good days at a lot of places in the last twenty years.
in the last two seasons at jay i've gotten some. when its good, well. its fun.

basom beat me to it ;)
lax - not only imagining - remembering.. i had some of the most fun days in recent years at jay just last season (of course the utah storms ruled as well).. and its just as much about being there with friends and the experience of getting there - driving crazy daves schoolbus, getting crazy daves bus pulled out of a snowdrift on 206? at 4 in the morning, meeting more ec mags and skiing with them, and the jay vibe in general. It reminds me of alta!
thanks for posting this!
Don't be hatin' the East Coast! My first stateside experience was at Stowe, and it was a fantastic one. Great lodging, great breakfast, great supermarket, SWEET trees, nice snow (Yes, I mean that), my first airbourne experiences, jolly lifties and pretty expansive terrain.
It's not so much where you are, but the state of mind you're in. You can have a shitty day despite deep powder and blue skies (though it's hard) and you can have absolutely fucking fantastic days with mellow terain, bitter cold and icy runs (Though fortunately there were some nice dustings while I was at Stowe).

I'm not hating the east coast - just hating the god awful videos that Lax posted. Your lift ticket pays the wages of the guy who thought he should put that shit on jay's site.Quote:
