Extended family ski trip to Mt Washington the past five days:

More extended-family trip than extended trip or extensive skiing, but in brief:
1. Cog is skiing super nicely. (Sorry, no pictures on powder days.)
2. Summit is always neat-o, even when the snow above the ravines is sparse:

3. Burt is fat:

4. Boozing is up with the young ladies is always fun (even if they're young enough to think that Burt is Ernie's friend):

I was there last year and my neighbor helped me out. I probably have 2 full cords left and would be happy to help if you are in need.Quote:

First you're skiing with Sir Paul, and now, you're skiing with wings...

t-the-east, slide looks pretty sparse high up, just wind-scoured? On the approach the river was crossable it looks like?
Word, time to stop procrastinating on all the things that get pushed to the side when pow season is upon us... and stack the chips for next shred
Yeah, super wind scoured. Must just be the direction it's facing. Lots of snow everywhere else..... One of those things "ya don't know til ya go".... Brook was crossable and skiable the whole wayQuote:

(I would say something about the snow conditions, but you can figure it out for yourself!)
As of this morning, we already have 87 racers ... three dozen ski patrollers ... many other volunteers ... even more Town emergency responders and LEO ... and probably *hundreds* of spectators!
All the info is here:
http://nerandorace.blogspot.com/2013...bolt-80th.html
... including link for on-line registration up until midnight tonight (Thursday), which will save you $10 (as well as time spent standing around in the cold).
Schedule is our usual bib pick-up starting at 9:00, pre-race briefing at 9:30, mass start at 10:00, ... and awards at an usually late time of 3:15 at the unusual venue of the big Thunderfest outdoor party in town!
sounds like a group of american skiers set of a slide on Mont St-Pierre, one sustained injuries but not life threatening
vibes!

Some gnarly terrain there. Hope everyone is ok.
edit: found this picture of the slide. Category 3 slide; Looks like it was a meathead crew filming and everyone is ok

I'm not sure that 2nd photo is from there? Doesn't look like Mont St-Pierre to me
I did not think so either, but this was a photo linked to the story.
