Heading up to VT this weekend, any whisper dates for Kmart or SR absent a miracle dump in the next 2 weeks?
A little something for your inner child.

Tango Bravo is my prediction for the season thanks to Laser's sacrifice. Bummer to hear you're moving man. I guess that officially makes me the best skier on the mountain. Best of luck down there.
Wishing everyone a DEEP season!

One of the things I'm looking forward to the most this season is seeing your face after you get out on those skis though!!!
Hi guys,
Can anybody tell me what the best ski is for New England?:fmicon:
I am short, fat, and wear a Patriots Starter jacket (if that helps).
Jay Peak, from, TODAY

WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN
On another note-unusual Fall here in Coastal Maine. It has been warm with no frost yet. Little rain, no big storms which are so common in the Fall. I think it is a lull. I think early winter will be very active.
Second Edit:man I think I am writting to myself. Dale Atkins will be speaking at ESAW. He is the closer on TNF "Know YOur Boundaries" avalanche series. Stoke meter is pinning for the conference. Big snows coming early this year.

.25" of .. something frozen reported at the top of Manny this afternoon. Temps look niiice this week at 3500 feet; maybe SR or K will go for it? Doubt Stowe will have a repeat of last year, but you never know.

Laser, sorry you're going to miss the best snow season in a decade.
therudeness posted THIS deal in the old RC, looks like I'll actually do some traveling this year. They're going fast.
You really are a whore... :nonono2:Quote:

Getting some nice low temps this week. They'll be testing the new guns hopefully.
would probably be good if the ground froze first. has there even been an appreciable frost yet?
