Ok, since it's not even close to real skiing yet and the trees are no longer sucking up the water, this season is kicking in with every rain storm. Guys running this stuff are just nuts, beyond nuts.
Stolen from the other thread -
There is some scary shit in that video. Lost two good friends a long time ago in a river.
EC mags see this Powder article about sanctioned/maintained backcountry skiing in VT? feel like there was a thread elsewhere about this last winter...

Even I waited until our daughter was four days old to take her out with me skiing:

... although I skipped taking her with me the previous two days only because the weather was bitterly cold.
(And yes, that is golf course flat -- literally.)
Almost five years later now, I need to measure her foot length again -- the new Scarpa F1 Evo comes in a 21.5!
Damn, I thought rawj was gone.Quote:

I'm curious about the outcome of the "memorandum of understanding". Please keep us posted.Quote:

Ya, gonna get those trees out of Sandy Stream tomorrow, so we don't end up on the next video. Already had a close encounter with last year's swimmer of the year video. Staying away from the fellow at 12:30 next time I'm on the river!
It's an incredibly fun drop when you stay in your boat... Didn't come in this round of rain.
Good to see the new thread up! Won't be making it to ULLR Fest this year, but hope to see some of you at ESAW in a few weeks and out and about once the season kicks in.
I'm in on this. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll make it to Ullrfest this year.
Feeling SERIOUS about my home coast season this year!
SKIING on:
lhasa 186 carbon duke mod
***in search of ice rider / mantra look alike **
piece of shit bridges that i hate, stolen from horrible friend that i also hate
hoping to make the foray into some black diamond factor 110's and slap some of those new toe din fritschis on something very light and very sexy. Recommendations welcome! In fact, I think ill make a thread out of it.
peace, ice, and puff jackets
Go with the kendo if you liked the old mantra. Rocks on ice.Quote:

I got credit for the family's season passes at Killington so the plan is to still make trips to VT (gotta keep the family skiing) but spread them out to other mountains... Especially Sugarbush and Magic. I'll shout out here when we do.

Nice work!
Woodbox got buffed today, and a bit wider. Frigging rained every minute of the work day!
Couldn't make it to Ullr either, I know I'm missing out right now.
Thanks for starting the new thread up, VTF. Thought it might be appropriate to get a few pics of you up here.

Hope everyone has an awesome and stoke filled winter.
Do you have any good pictures of VT-F?
43 in the valley. 39 up on the hill. Breeze is rather warm this morning. ..Soon grasshopper...Mrs. and I ironed some old skins last night--fresh as a new sheet at the Gut (3-0 btw, Go Cats Go!) and we saved some coin! ML, I like the framing with the birch in the confier stand, very Vermonter.
Question for the Mtb guys, Does anybody remove Stans for the winter? I've found that once that shit dries, forget about it. I'm thinking of wiping it clean while it's still liquid and then starting fresh in the spring, although it'll still be a few more weeks anyway.
Bummer. Good for you keeping the family coming up. Best of luck with the rehab.Quote:

Great shots of Vt-Freheel there ml242.
Saw higher in Portland last night and thought of the crew watching it up at Magic. Hope the heads are relatively in tact this am. Great ski movie. Jeremy created a compelling story line. Recommend the movie when it comes out on itunes or dvd as a holiday gift.
