^my take too....
I don't know of a specific wifi thermostat for your VT house, but I bet Google has them. I'll ask around, too. Be a good thing to have.
So we got a foot of prime fluff yesterday. Expect big crowds expecting lots of snow up north next week!
You did tell me the metric tape was at your house...it's quite obvious now. Measurement tool used for gf too? 'I swear it says 8 honey!' :fmicon:Quote:

Thanks Moeghoul, will give you a call when I know my plan and +2 on yours and BD's comments above. Both tc and rog are people I have gotten to know and ride with through this board (among many others) and consider both friends and solid people all the way around...both have separately offered to show me around George since I sadly (inexcusably is more like it) have never had the pleasure of being over there on snow, not something a nozzle like Cock would ever offer to do. Some people just can't deal with others enjoying themselves, better to ignore them than get sucked into their depression!

THIS JUST IN - EXCITING NEWS FOR THE ECRC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who have not yet experienced the harrowing steeps, perilous drops, deep powder snow and best of the East tree shots at the Mighty Snow Bowl you will now have access to POV footage from this legendary ski area. No need to buy an ABS bag, probe, beacon and shovel (mandatory equipment at MCSB) you can now sit on your couch and watch the death defying feats of others. And, if you are lucky, you may be able to see the bowl from the prospective of a real life spancered pro with intimate knowledge of the mysteries of this magical place. Stay tuned...
I love how GoPros are now the Russian Dash Cam of the slopes. "Yes, now you too can relive every mediocre turn and lackluster pole plant, not to mention catch raging dads, out of control boarders and dickhead patrollers too!" Oh the joys!

annnnnnd then I locked my keys in the car.
I spent Sunday and Tuesday at Killington. Both were quite awesome with good company and seriously shitty drives from/back to Boston. Tuesday was the shocker... several inches fell with enough wind that everything stayed nice and smooth. It was easily my best day of the season so far.
I'm off to Jackson for three weeks starting tomorrow. Can't wait!
edit: thanks got what I need.
Digits sent. Hope everyone is OK.
I second your description of Tuesday's Killy conditions. Shockingly good I tells ya.Quote:

[QUOTE=VTCS, Moeghoul - Might end up making Monday my first day if either of you are going to be around.[/QUOTE]\
Def riding Monday, hit me on the cell! Beers and groomers and some Birch run jumps! Be careful off piste folks :-|
Very tempting but there is no base...
Trying to run a quick lap at Bolton tomorrow before a big meeting, we'll see if I can pull it off...
NWS reports Camden ME got 16" last night. Saw the deformation band on radar over mid-coast Maine for at least 6 hours and still going strong at midnight; was tempted to drive up there and earn turns at skin-friendly Camden Snow Bowl but opted for 45 min drive instead of three hours. No regrets. Absolutely gorgeous day at Mt Agamenticus with turns > boot deep and favored spots nearly knee-deep. Not bad for mid-Dec. Then at the end of the day skin back to the lot at the top, with views of the Atlantic off one side and Mt Washington off in the distance in the other direction.

Again +++vibes+++ and big ups to Worth Skis who have been kind enough to let me tag along on all Worth demos this year to spread the word for MTN Approach and Powsurf and that is just fucking AWESOME and a huge help for me and these growing companies!!!
Congrats on the recent good press in BC Mag to the Worthy crew btw!
I got a shit ton of work to get through between now and Xmas... stoked to make some turns soon too.
Here's to living the dream.. Happy Holidays everyone!

Also ++++vibes++++ to HighAnxiety who had a very unpleasant brush with a birch today... Prayers for a speedy recovery dude! You'll be powsurfing mellow farm fields before you know it!!
***Be careful out there everyone, it's still low tide in NoVT, deep dry snow on little to no base. Looks great and feels nice underfoot, but shit is lurking ready to trip you up..
I was a little over-caffeinated this morning so had to go skiing:

Another day touring on the skinnies:

There was up, and there was down. It was all good:

Did you think about the Mobil Ski and Ride program? Three 8-gallon fillups at the Mobil on South Broadway and you get a 2-fer-1 at Gore.Quote:

I did hit one rock on Vulture's View but little harm done. Did some general exploration too so if you go and see tracks taking inexplicable routes, that was probably us :)
ah nice. "inexplicable routes" best way to learn a mountain is to circumnavigate the bitch right around the mid section. look up, look down, look up, look down...........Quote:
