Got to love Oct in VT, mid 60's early this week, snow later in the week. I'm just hoping for enough early snow to cover all the leaves in my yard so I don't have to deal with them until spring!
I'll take the nickel/dimes for sure, just would like them to start a little earlier than the last handful of years...late Dec. thru mid Feb. have pretty much been low tide in recent memory.
HAHAHAhahaaaaa^^^^
...but Bromley promised snow making next week in their email to me.Quote:

It was nice to see snowflakes at the summit today, on a more serious note.
If anyone goes to scope that van, I strongly recommend going over the interior with a blacklight before you commit to anything...
I've been watching this for about a week now.Quote:

You like the Cock. I like seeing East Coast stoke photos from last year at least until this year produces some. Different strokes for different folks.
yep!Quote:

yeah thanks rog, i stand corrected.
eat me
You know, I get most people have favorite terrain they enjoy sliding down but I don't understand the hatred for places they don't personally like. I thought the idea was to get as many enjoyable days on snow as possible wherever possible. I love any place I can ski at which would normally be a day at work. I would love to ski at xhill every day out but if yhill is where I can go, then I will make the most out of it. Most of my decisions are based on where I can get good terrain and lessons for the groms while satiating my need to strap to sticks to my feet and letting gravity take over! Are there places I would rather be at, absolutely, but I'm not a dentite and have limited resources for recreational activities so I make do. There, rant over, soap box away.Quote:

Like a fool, I buy a seasons pass for Jay Peak and drive 7.5 hours to ski there because I love it. I have skied at both Wildcat and Attitash only once, they were two of the best ski days of my life. I don't get the hate and sure as hell don't need it.Quote:

Screw Wildcat and its 6 min 2000' vert quad that accesses nothing but windy icy groomers and barely skiable brooks.Quote:

Well I'm not rog, not even sticking up for either hill, just bringing up a point. If it isn't in VT it apparently sux according to the ECRC. And I don't know the words to Kumbaya Cock, why don't you get started for me and I'll be along later.Quote:

A bit more water flowing this weekend
http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps8ce53850.jpg
Light snowline [more frost like] down to top of Steins, summit in the fog.
It snowed.
Intermittant snows above 3000' in the Western Whites. It briefly lingered on the ground. Around 2PM it felt like about +34F at 3500'. I guess the little wave out of Canada was just practicing for later events :)Quote:

If it means more people on the groomers and less in the woods, Im all for it. Kinda regretting not getting a pass there this year. Guess Ill just have to wait and get a pass in the spring for next year.
Last model run for the weekend has me crying in my milk. Hopefully its just a one run deviation.
Disdain was the word you were looking for -Quote:

with WF on there this year, that's a dealz
^^^ BOOM
Yeah, it varies depending in the bed you're getting, the fitter, etc. I'm no expert, but I've had it done twice now. First was several years ago in CO, cost me something around $140 after talking my way into a discount (Superfeet Kork). Bill @ GMO I think charged $215 for the footbeds themselves, plus fee for evaluation of foot/boot fit. Everything else after that is a la carte, but he told me honestly that footbeds were all I needed.Quote:

Meh.
Getting colder around here, keeping busy in the garage to make sure the house I am building doesn't freeze. Lynchy, you get that boiler replaced?
