Ugh. Was that the "TC cloud" you guys keep talking about? Nasty. I need a shower... :P
Very nice stoke ECRC! It's a Christmas miracle!

Glad I made it out, even just one run had me with a smile all day. Welcome back winter...
back at work after 3 pow days (4 in the last week!!) woah. so glad VT has been getting it now. NYE around mansonville/north-troy should be shred-tastic!
and a big :the_finge:the_finge: to the guy at Poubelle De Ski who told me "on ne ski pas de la poudreuse a quebec"
heading up north in a few days but even the cats got a coating out of this and a lot more on the way

Caught a nice sunrise at Berkshire East with a great view of the wind tower. A quick down, but a nice breath of fresh air.
Merry Xmas to the ECRC and yer families. Enjoying the perpetual stoke being posted. Keep giving in the spirit of the season!
haha, now that you mention it:
+1 point for a hurried first-time mounting dukes saturday afternoon...glad i found the paper templates i printed last year!
+1 point for getting up at 1am in spite of getting to bed at 11:05pm
+1 point for going to last chair
+3 points for dawn patrolling from cambridge this morning - after a little needed couch time - and getting home with just enough time to shave, shower and feed the cats...and get to work on time:fm:
yesterday was truly a 10-best ski day, and at 6:30am to 4:30 PM, my longest ever. from icy groomers to silky woods in exactly two weeks and yet more evidence of how the EC ski scenario can turn on a dime.
props for treewell dweller and TC for getting me up there - it was the day to make the long trip. great bumping into fussy dutchman at end of the day - and being led to a most bountiful reserved run :yourock:
and great to see DoWork last nite - sorry i couldn't ski today but i had....ToWork :biggrin:
happy holidays all!
bumping these up again:
Awesome shots!
No fresh at Sunapee, but the landings will still be soft. Unfortunately it won't be open to the public midweek :cussing:.
Holy shit bucket, that's a hell of a day!
Damn, Bucket nice work! Was a few steps behind you guys on the DP..
Merry Christmas ECRC. I hope that Santa (Ullr) blesses us with another refresher soon!!
Great to put in a skin track in the High Greens today with Do Work and HA. Things are game on in the North VT BC and skiing really deep today. HA has some better shots than myself. This week should seal things up nicely.

Quite the timing Bucket (as usual), your full day + effort paid off again! Glad we crossed paths to end the day and were able to still find some basically untracked late afternoon leftovers.
Amazing up and down last week of weather but somehow the northern greens always manage to deliver shortly after things get wet.
Great shots all! Looking forward to the coming week and the potential for more goodness.
Merry Christmas everyone, be safe.
BOOM!
I'm blowing it down here. Aiming for Wednesday and Friday. Great photos TC, BWPA, Bucket and Petrics etc.
DW - who makes that red jacket? it's sick.
Merry XMAS all!
^^ yea, that worked out great. more untracked than leftover. heavy lifting, that rope:biggrin:
yea, the drive and crazy hours have nothing on days like yesterday. i have some scenic shots i'll put up later...
wow...looks like i missed another good one...but i'm tired enough after doing very little today.
nicc pics!
Didn't plan on riding today, but TC and DoWork got me thinking of all the fresh pow still out there, so I had to bail from work early and head out for a 3 hour adventure before heading to Burlington to have dinner with the Family.. Last minute plans are sometimes the best. Probably one of my best days in VT so far this season.

Good tour today guys, way worth the effort. Felt good to get away from the crap show on the mountain and back in the skinner.
Happy Holidays All...
No pictures, but best day at Stowe today. Hasn't been this good in a while. Almost everything open, and not as many people as yesterday. If we get snow Thursday things could really go off. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Pray for snow.
Great shots HA, once we got off the summit chute the rest was gravy. So good.
Enjoy the holidays all!
Ho, Ho, Ho.
Just started snowing in Coastal CT. As much as a white Christmas would be awesome down here, I really hope it's snowing in SoVt too! All I want for Xmas is 2 feet of pow.
Merry Christmas to all!

happy holidays all - lets hope for big things thursday
How's the BC in Northern VT looking right now? I'm thinking about making a trip up there later in the week and don't really feel like braving the crowds inbounds.
