do we have lift-off?
Nice to see the snowline this low. It will be short-lived, I know, but still...

I don't normally deal with rumors but....
Word is, the quad at Magic is GTG and they're going to run it tomorrow for passholders.
Thank you, no, I'd prefer to ride Red until it gets a few laps with butts in those seats under its belt.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve ridden up the black chair before, amirite?
It was open for a while back like 15 years ago? Was that a different chair than the one they got from Stratton. Confused guy
You are correct Sir, old black has been melted down as scrap.
Lurker Jerry and I toured in the GMNF yesterday to play in the snow...

In fact it may part of a soup ladle somewhere near you….
They only got the former Snow Bowl chair from Stratton 6 years ago.Quote:

Probably should have sold the towers as scrap...they need the money.
They left one tower near the summit and it now has Weather Underground reporting station on it.

Old black chair was a triple. That replaced the old “blue” center pole double.Quote:

There's more to that story also...Quote:

By the time it was done, they would only load 2 people every other chair, effectively making it the "other" single chair in Vermont.
What a day to climb a mountain and ski back down. Even my cranky hip couldn’t keep the smile off my face (although I did wince once or twice on the way up).

Pretty killer Prez day weekend in PA. Predicted 3-5” kept looking out my window and saw blacktop so figured it missed. Turned out just 30 miles north my little bump got 13”. Quickly motivated and got first turns down one of our steepest trails, no time for picture stops.
Patrol getting first tracks

My kids ditched me but paid the price missing out on first lap, but my 10y/o had plenty of face shots. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a969b2de41.jpg

Sunday soft and sunny groomer laps w friends and fewer crowds than expected. Guess everyone else went north.
Decided to check out Windham w one kid for quick trip hoping it wasn’t far enough north to find crowds, generally worked out, other than the horrid drive home on I87 South. They had guns blazing on a few trails making for softest manmade I’ve skied in a while.

Jay Peak is solid. Attachment 487651
i was going to advise anyone looking to flee to hit Valinouet this weekend but wow, seems like they have missed all of the precip this season and have half their trails closed. Same with edouard. but, they’re also both looking at snow i won’t be able to get to in the next few days, maybe someone could.
on another note, a dirtbag rock climbing Colombian friend has taken up “touring” this winter. to him, this meant putting some 90’s park skis on his backpack and hiking up mont royal in a pair of obsolete Endorphins. And he loves it!
does anyone have a 20+ year old touring setup with naxos or something they’re never going to use again that i could pass along? maybe i’ll bless him because this shit is so goofy.
