That “debatable” zone runs from Rte 78 in the north to 195 in the south.

Nice effort to those taking in the 6”, but that really is more of a sandwich size than a pow day.

Today was a beaut for views.

Don’t forget to roll back your clocks.

Well looks like I'm gonna be moving to this neck of the woods this season as the wife is accepting a job in St Albans tomorrow.. I'm probably gonna bug the hell out of everyone asking for rec's on the area.. like anyone know of any rentals? Jobs for me? If I need 120 underfoot or not?

rentals are hard to get, job market looks good, praxis rx. welcome to the club.

Praxis RX is the best choice.
Might be a couple of rentals left in Newark, act quick as they're going fast.
Jay needs lifties, ask for $14 an hour.

Roll w/ something ~95 under foot that performs well on firm and ~110 for when things soften up. I realize that was likely a joke but a true pow ski is overkill for our terrain and snowpack (northern VT). I have a shit ton of skis and haven’t found the need for my >108 boards for a couple seasons now. YMMV.

Attachment 345936

Didn't want my 18 y.o. to go it alone, so I tagged along.

For some reason we had the place to ourselves.
Attachment 345932

Shit was extreme.
Attachment 345934

Managed to get some actual turns in (sort of).
Attachment 345935

Somehow, no rocks were hit, and no one got hurt. Good way to start the day!

Should have tagged along with your mountain bike ;)

In 'merica I refer to that as "standing around"

21º and windy as fuck bob. Seems to be 3-4+ inches so far, tough to tell with the wind. Drifts 12" already. Funny it's going to be 60º on Friday, lol.

Dawn patrols on tap tomorrow, is the current thinking

I did go down to the ski area, but irrational ACL-threatening impulses of early season exuberance were successfully subdued.

And they would have been really irrational.

Getting excited. Where I sit at at my desk i'm looking directly at one of the rasta glades all day. Even with all the amazing MTB, I still havent been able to not get excited all summer.

Now I just need some new skis...

the long game rules.

i'm watching the coming warm weather for a few more pre-season bike rides.
eyeing my goal of 45...have three to go.

Governor comes out with resort guidance tomorrow for Vermont. He is expected to announce that out of state workers will not be considered essential and must complete the entire quarantine i.e. no weekend workers from red states.

Sure sucks for some, but there is no way a weekend ski area employee should be considered essential. I imagine a full time employee from a border town will still be eligible to work. Either way since our State relies on the good will of people and proposes things that have zero ramifications if broken I doubt ski areas will adhere. .

Even if they don't take action against individuals ignoring the guidelines, they may have an impact on businesses. Among other issues, businesses generally have more responsibility for their employees' behavior than their customers'.

^ Exactly!!!

I for one am happy about this as I done want my kids encountering an individual who is working on the mountain as a coach or instructor without proper quarantine.

He’s a master & one that I trust with my skis. I’m certain we can get him a local house for the season.

Thanks for the laugh.


I think Buttah has a green card

Attachment 346083

Since he never drinks the beer I bring, I’ll have to get him one of these.

A few extra inches last night at my place at 1100'. I'll be its good up high this morning. Get it before the temps double in a few days.

Touring and earning turns is going to be fantastic this winter -

"This time the advisory will be in effect from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Residents should stay home between these hours with exceptions like going to work and to the grocery store,"

New order from the governor of Massachusetts

That for sure throws a wrench in the works for me. Gonna be a fucked up season. Looking forward to the coming warm up. I’ll just keep riding my bikes and collecting unemployment. Maybe I’ll see y’all at some point this winter.

ahhhh, that's nice :yourock:
