Quite a bit of snow blown in there! I didn't think to probe it and get a depth, but I think barring some really massive rain tonight/tomorrow there's a good chance it will set up as the base in there for the season. Itching to run back up and get some more turns in this morning, but alas, gotta do all the "important" "real-world" things I have been putting off to live in skiing-in-November fantasy land this week. Gonna try to get back up there Tuesday after this weather blows through and see how things are looking.

Nice peace coast. How did it ski? What was the schwack to the gully and out like?

Dry styrofoam. The kinda stuff that's easy to boot up and easy to ski but you are right on the surface and don't leave a track at all on the way down. Schwack was pretty heinous, lots of thrashing around and falling into bushes and randomly busting through crust up to my crotch while being heckled by a whole Boy Scout troop at the base of the ravine.

love the effort, PC. what you described is just how I imagined it would be. done many early season assaults on left, right, and others. the schwack is worth it to get on some real terrain. gonna be a skating rink once this rain passes and we go into deep freeze mode up high. any bit of snow on the back side may be a bit touchy. if winds are strong enough, some good tamping could lock any new snow in place pretty well. but that climbers upper right could be quite sporty:eek:

maybe sunday.

4+ hours of trail building this am. put in quite a long section of new one track. fucking deer ticks galore. pickin em off me by the dozen, but well worth dealing with em to create mtb fun. surf comes up tomorrow for the week. yay mid week waves. fucking bout time. sick of weekend waves.:)

Quick shout out to VT_freeheel. He hooked us up with VT's finest: heady topper on our way out of town! Thanks and good sharing some Edward at Mad Taco with you! Catch you during the season.

TC, sorry we didn't catch you. We did go into Cambridge to the Main St. Bakery yesterday. I know you were north. Next time.

Thank you all for the recommendations!

I woke up Friday morning and said to myself, "Self, you are either going skiing this weekend or hunting."

I spent the past 2 days in the woods, something I haven't done since 2006 according the the carefully folded yet faded Maine Hunting License tucked in my wallet.

Skiiing can wait till the cold again....

Nice to meet you and your lady, my pleasure to hook you up. Falls were flowing nicely I see.

46.8` bob, woke up at 5:17 when the front came through with some 50+ winds and driving rain with temp of 53.7`. Rain mostly over now and I see 80-85% of natural snowpack is gone. Got a report from Surface Whore MRG is bare. What little of the manmade I can see on OG looks wall 2 wall.

ya, winter #2 arriving soon. clear/cool. George has been quite warm with about an inch of new warm rain on the summit. wonder if lg's near impenetrable steel slab held tough through the heat wave. maybe the upper 3rd broken up some?

yay for snowmaking:)

Heat and stretching to fatigued muscles from eccentric movements? Nonono.

Probably the first and last time I ever appear here.
