TR: Full Moon Pow

A small system turns into a larger system and sets the stage for a surprise human POWered day in North VT.

Woke up to 4 degree temps in the valley we knew it was going to be a day to stay on the move. A lot of vert covered, a lot of cold pow skied, a lot of smiles all around.

Most excellent early season pow day, given the limited terrain available

FKNA dude, that's all I can say. Hope to bump into you up there tomorrow!

Way to get after it!



(Sleeping is gonna be a problem now)

nice trips

Great stuff! Thanks for posting this.

Yowsa! Nice work TC and EC brethren!

good game guys!!!

rog

Weekend trip to Smugglars Notch back in the '80's is my only ski trip to Northern Vermont. Watching all the stoke you guys bring with your snow catcher mountains makes me want to find a way to get over there.

So good to see real snow accumulations. Last February was a long, long time ago.

Getting after it in the north country, thumbs up.

killer start to the NVT powder skiing season. doesn't get much better than an EC sleeper november blower pow storm... except when you're getting face shots under a full moon with alpenglow painting Mansfield's chin in the distance.

aaahoooooo.... powder fever!

Leaving early Sunday. Driveway got plowed over the weekend, no need to risk a sheet of ice. Forecast looks to improve starting Wednesday going into the weekend. Buddy of mine is coming up for 5 days as well.

Sweeeet...

Good to get a pow day out of my system, I needed that. Glad we got it when we did also. Hopefully Winter will have returned by the time I get back from the Sierras. Things got a litte warm and washed out yesterday. No more snow at my place this morning....
