Sunday River is not looking too bright, but it is not even November yet.

FIS GOT SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stowe made its own snow
best way to learn. when i went from snowboarding to skiing i went that exact route, well that's pretty much what was available for tele gear. skied everything on george with lace up leather/pins then progressed the gear from there. you'll lock em down in no time! took me 12 years tele to finally go the training heal route. fun!Quote:

Glad to hear it ripper, maybe we'll actually catch up this season instead of passing each on slopes and not realizing it.
Was at killington most of the day, wasn't as crowded as I thought it was gonna be. Got a free lunch, too. Not a bad first day.
Looks aweful. Sorry you wasted your time today. ;)Quote:

Below that, well, on my final lap, I did ski to the parking lot, but that was mainly transportation skiing.

Day 1 in the books. K-ton tomorrow. Ask for change if you see a tall dude with last years Bacon's.
Took the leisurely afternoon stroll with the dog and found powder-ish like snow up high. First turns of the year felt pretty sweet! Snow was picking up around 4, continued strong as I left - still snow down to the Toll Rd.

Stowe is often almost kind of crowded for early-season snow: lots of moderate-angle grassy terrain, lots of snow up high, great attitude from management, and no fear of an early-season opening since no lifts serving only the upper mountain.Quote:

^^^Nice!
:D I know, I was trying to be funneh. I used to ski there weekly for a few years some years back. I stopped going there due to the skinning all hours of the day and night skiing population there when it snows more than 2 inches. storm skiing days with skinz in my coat when the Gondi would be on wind hold all day were really good. not enough of those tho. nice shots! looks thin. yer skis survive?Quote:

get it while it lasts! Slow day on here, lots of folks outdoors today huh. Sunday River lappage yesterday, now I'm waiting for next cold clear snowmaking window, or random mountain dumpola.
In the meantime, coffee reading on mounting skis up DIY.
the season will be here soon enough. the mtb is so good right now. perfect temps and trail conditions. kicked my arse in a big way at Stratham alps today. lovely day for it. maybe surf by Friday and for the weekend. mid 60's Friday!Quote:
