really not pumped to go hit K mart tomorrow, but with next week looking even worse I figure I better get whatevers there before the deluge of r@in next week
anybody else going?

Figured I'd give an update for EC'ers...got my first turns in of the year :cussing:
Just got back from the Mt. Washington Valley, two days at Wildcat, one at Attitash. The Cat was definitely the better of the two, very hard packed at the Cat, but the groomers have done what they can it seems, ice was minimal. Attitash's claim to the most open terrain in NH is a little :fm: ...apparently they're counting is a bit different than others. The storm from last night was only 4", which is about 36" shy of what they need for a decent base. However, there will certainly be people joining you at Kmart, gapers maybe....but all I know is Rt. 16 was as packed as ever heading into the valley, apparently 4" is quite a dump this year :mad:
Oh, and I dunno if the Cat's man-made is a bit different than others but that garbage took me to a dead stop and over the handlebars from a decent pace yesterday :nonono2:
Have fun out there..next week not looking so good
I'm pretty sure Gore on Sunday and KMart Monday. Gotta get some turns in before J Hole.
pouring freaking rain here in eastern Pa. It's looking like Feb. will be the beginning of the season for me
edit at 2:18 pm... well, the rain stopped and the sun's breaking through and the temp is climbing into the sixties. :cussing:
It's so sad. I have the time off and I'm not even going to bother :(
Dude, the last two days at Mt. Snow have been killer. The best skiing I've had all year...
I even got a face shot on thursday at snow. If you have the abiliy to go to southern VT then do it because conditions have been great.
K mart rocked today -snow snow snow
not lake tahoe, but great day!!!!!
breaking in the bro's tomorrow at K. Lovin' this snow. I'm bitter about the lack of snow we've had, but a bad day skiing is better than... well, pretty much anything else.
Might head to Loon tomorrow, only expense to me is a lift ticket, free ride and food...not sure the lines warrant the subpar conditions, and the injured knee :rolleyes2, but any skiing is good right now. It's either that or getting drunk in Providence tonight :FIREdevil
I'm planning on being there tomorrow. I was supposed to go with another guy and his girlfriend but they haven't call me back and its 10:30 so I guess they aren't going. Shoud be behind the base at 10. See ya there.
Loon's a go for me tomorrow, BigJay were you referring to being there or K Mart? I'm hitching a ride from my brother and his girlfriend, so looks like I'll be on my own so he can coach her. If anyone is planning on heading there let me know, I'll be on my own, with an aggravated back and mcl, but the groomed conditions such be nice to those two aggravations....hopefully I'll see you there.
Gore 8:30 manana (I hope) Black Helmet, old guy, red 5 Stars. KMart Monday?
10AM at the Base sounds like K-mart.
I'm so glad I can drink again- this "winter" will require quite a bit of Labatt's to survive
Sort of by surprise I'll be at mount snow tomorrow. We'll have radios.... Aw heck why not I'll even set 'em to 5-13.
Nate dogg I was talking about Kmart. Have fun out there ladies and gents!
or trips westQuote:

cheers
Sorry, he's gone

No depression here - It was a pretty good weekend in southern VT. We got 6" on Saturday and today at Magic was pretty sweet (honest). The trees are still a bit thin but the rest of the mountain is holding up nicely. One more big storm and the mountain should be in great shape.

From what I'm reading over on the kzone this weekend was great! However, it's a bit like a starving man coming across some slightly-slimy-should-be-tossed ham. Sure it tastes great...you're a starving man! :rolleyes: We still need more snow. :mad:
But I am still stoked for the coming weekend. Anyone up for MLK despite the crowds? I am braving it. Forecasted temps appear to be very cold (what happened to that 70 degree day we were going to have? not that I want it!) and some snow coming in this week.
So don't fear the masses (they can be side-stepped) and go get it!
:)

much love to the K maggots for once again showing me a good time. Devils fiddle was a BIT sketchy :rolleyes2 but all and all coverage and conditions we excellent.
Good skiing with you laser. Yeah, that was probably my worst run down fiddle ever. Your face came a little too close to that rock. From my angle, I couldn't tell if you did hit it. I cringed until I saw you were OK.Quote:

Yeah I had a great time at the K yesterday too. It's always fun skiing with mags. Even though not all of us have the steeze schuss has...
