Coming from Jackstraw country and will be frequenting Jay and Ragged this year, so don't be shy :fmicon:Quote:

Welcome home.
Killington was good this morning. Got some 🪨 rocks. Didn't ski in the woods due to fear of sharks.
Hit a tree branch as tall as my car on the route 4 driving toward Rutland. Fell right in front of me. No time to avoid just pin it to win it.
No ski pics... lame I know.
Next time I won't drive my wife's car. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5f37171baa.jpg

One of my best EC lift served days at Saddleback. Two feet easy and no Wind. Skied with singlecross

Always fun to ski with you cat. A good day indeed and all ended well with passes and bodies intact, albeit with some wardrobe changes to protect the guilty!:yourock:Quote:

Snow was deep and dense. Great base builder.
Like others have said, great lift served new England day. And I was surprised about almost no lines for the lifts despite the parking being so full.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0aef432b76.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...301350c498.jpg

I would've stayed out for longer, but after yesterday's digging out, my back isn't exactly happy with me.
*: Also not helping my back: some sort of issue preventing Mt Abram from loading public on the carpet, despite employees using it for ski school training. I get that you might have such a situation on an aerial lift, but a carpet? It's not exactly a difficult evac if it fails.

Saddleback was almost as good as yesterday which surprised me since storm skiing is always the best. Phone stayed tucked away. I do feel for the mountain. Again very small crowds with many empty chairs.
Don’t feel too bad about low crowds and ski on chairs, especially on a weekend powder day. Just think of all the money that they saved on snowmaking. Mother Nature did the job for free and we didn’t even charge them to pack it down!
Glad you had another good day
Got out to see what the woods were like in the backyard.
Not too promising when Peruvian texted, but he gave me the thumbs up.

Glad I kept going.

Still really thin, but about 20” in the central greens has the low angle shots in good shape.

Sunday River was far, far better than expected this afternoon.

looks like double is lined up to open before new years.
hiked over there for last several runs.
well worth the travel for the lightest snow of my weekend.
was nearly dark by the time i reached my car.
Nice stuff. What a great opening day. Chute was in good shape too

Nice! Shocked at the low number of cars in the lot.Quote:

There should be a term for this type of snow. Drippy pow? Spotted slop?Quote:

Looking like the classic Christmas thaw coming on Friday and then re-freeze to ruin all this good snow.
early season platty is something special. glad you got after it too!Quote:

Shit that annoys me: EMS opened a new store in BTV, after a several year hiatus. It is very upscale and curated. Pricey as fuck too. The old store was grungy and a dirt bag could feel at home there, with affordable options. I miss the old store.
I live near Syracuse, we have no gear stores. The LL Bean in Fayetteville doesn't count.Quote:
