^^^ living large! Well done JS. Best bar view in the MWV from the small apre bar upstairs to the left of the front desk. The view of the northern Prezi's is exceptional. Impressive.

This must be a (not so funny) joke in the context of recent discourse on this website.

If I can figure out airfare and cheap (free) lodging I'm in.

I wish I could take credit for the big move up in ESAW venue, but not my doing.
(Except I suppose very indirectly via my ESAW assistance in various other ways.)

But I'll take the photo credit for this one from the previously referenced Rosebrook Bar (on April 22, 2013):

I think it's just that Mt W brings out the biggest & best in all of us.

Which gives me an excuse (albeit marginally so) to post some more pictures of the Rosebrook Bar.

But first, skin up the summit:

Mini-lap in Burt:

Skin back up, ski out, then booze it up with young ladies over lunch at, yes, that same Rosebrook Bar (with everything I skied visible through the window, although unfortunately not captured in this particular photo):

No idea what that discourse is (out of the loop these days) and not intending to make a non-funny joke....

Fortunately you can catch up very quickly on the main East Coast discourse during the 2015 off-season, since it was almost exclusively concerned with Magic Mountain VT (albeit off in a separate thread).

Executive Summary:

• As of right now, nothing is new at Magic.

Details:

• Many rumors, hopes, etc., that something would be new.
• Turned out not to happen.
• But, might still happen.
• Or not.

Thanks for the executive summary. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Attachment 170124bit o white in the mountains here yesterday

Someone on the NYSB was hiking Giant... I might have been a little unprepared to see this yesterday!

Saw people heading up cascade in shorts with snow/ice clearly visible from the road.... I'd say lots of people were not prepared

Sweet sunset and snow pics guys.
I had 27 degrees at the house this morning and everything was frosty white.

Some crazy cloud layers around the Passumpsic River Valley this morning too caused by temperature inversions.

Maybe, but I often skin in shorts. Obviously have pants in the bag but if you are cold, go faster.

Incredible photos!

WOW on the photos.. just amazing thanks

NEK ... off the charts! Wow.

Prep resumes....
