Seconded. Castlerock was very good. Sunday was pretty decent too with a bunch of new trails open on LP.Quote:

Did equally amazing things to my bases on catwalk (thankfully no core shots) and was thrilled that the season was finally starting..Quote:

PS- Sugarbush and Middlebury were great this weekend. Nice x-country up there, too.
Of course, I was talking about the cheeseburger though.Quote:

Except HighwayStar, who just likes to talk about how rad devils fiddle skied this weekend. So do we really need to keep posting about the rain? Its the same argument everytime. Someone says it sucks, then someone says you suck, and then everyone whines until the red sox come up and then we bitch about the yankees.Quote:

Arepas rule.
Had a random meet-up with Vinman on the Summit chair Saturday followed by boot to knee deep fresh most of the afternoon on reserved trails at SB North. Dined on soft chowder at SB South Sunday before a hike to the closed Castlerock delivered 1700' of boot/knee deep 10th tracks on Middle Earth.
Drank beers and broke bread with good friends for NYE before heading out to a bar and oggling a ridiculously hot au paire and some quasi-lesbians. Came outside to a steady freezing rain at 18 degrees F and the snow guns blaring. Bizarre. Roads were too icy to make it home safely. Slept in car with wife. Happy New Year, baby.
All in all, it was a great fucking weekend.
That explains why no cars on Rt 100 NYE...Quote:

You know, if this winter were merely below average, meaning without quite so much rain, you wouldn't hear a thing from me.Quote:

This is just brutal... at some point, you snap.
Those IC/C-state games were too much fun. Long live the Cortaca Jug!Quote:

That sounds fun. I didn't frostbite this winter because I wanted to ski more.Quote:

Got offers but none of them appealed to me. I think at that point I was considering throwing myself off one of the bridges from the lack of salt water and the insane people I was living with.Quote:
