it's coming. fact.
^ If you want to ski Saddleback, make sure you link up with singlecross. I skied there with him last January in about 6" of pow and we were finding fresh all day. But bring your big boy pants, the dude rips. And he knows that place like the back of his hand.
yep, ran into him there last spring... had a few fun laps at speed.

that place rocks and i shall return.
One of the best parts about this kooky little corner of the interwebz is meeting and skiing with Mags at their home hill… I’ve met some great folks and been shown lines I would have never found leading to great days in the mountains. I’m always happy to pay that forward to fellow travelers at Saddleback in Winter (or Acadia in Summer). Hope to ski ya soon!
edit to add: Also that time that my motorcycle shit the bed and VT-free came to the rescue with roadside assistance. That was pretty awesome too!
Speaking of Saddleback…

Black Mountain of Maine, a non profit ski area, is having some glade work days coming up. Sure would be great to see some mags show up. Black may have more jumps served by one lift than any other mountain in the northeast when the snow is in, seriously. Work days Saturdays 9/23 and 9/30 starting at 08:00.

What would you guys be willing to pay for something like this? Are people actually getting these prices?

No one is getting 40k for that van, if it cost money to waste everyone's time on CL maybe the ad would have a reasonable ask.
ETA:
Here's a climber's high mileage but newer sprinter, you could take it and pocket the difference for repairs or a year of college at Albany.

Hah, That’s kind of my take too. WildQuote:

Great old pic from the Bromley FB page.

^^ nice, and still recognizeable as.
scored a top-5, tracks-filling pow day there last season and newfound appreciation for the east side.
stoked to return.Attachment 469677
...midweek shitshow and all:fmicon:
nice.
This Bromley pic is from a few years ago, before Christmas. I was with Peruvian, Goniff, and a few others. We were ducking ropes to get onto the East Side and the Patrol didn't really seem to mind. One turn after this pic, I hit a snowmaking pipe that runs down the middle of the trail....

Another poachers paradise day on the east side of Big B. Mine, all mine!

That looks like the day you guys hid & threw me to the wolves (patrol). He was very cool i remember. Told me,...."if you're going to ski closed trails, please do it with someone."
Me pointing: "My "friends" are right up there? ^^" Crickets, nobody in sight.
^^ no friends on a pow day indeed!
a sort of reverse of that: about 15yrs ago big daddy, me, plus 2 poached MRG trail map woods after 3pm. got caught exiting. bd and i were contrite but others were mouthing off to patrol having exited up trail. not thinking quickly enough we **didn't** pretend not to know them.:biggrin: we got perp-skied all the way down to base, but no blacklisting or forced labor! able to return:smile:
nice day on the farming!Quote:

No more pre-paid parking passes at Stowe this season - https://vtdigger.org/2023/09/15/stow...ibextid=Zxz2cZ
That doesn’t mean you won’t have to pay to park though.
^ Honestly, I don't think I would ski at $teaux on a weekend anyway. Too many dentists in their 2WD Sprinters getting stuck on the hill.
Carpool freebie in the Ranch Lot at Jackson went from 3 to 4. I wonder if Vail is going to up the ante on carpool discounts.
If I recall I was on Mountian that day, separate from you guys as I was WFH on a “coffee break”, but similar experience with no issues poaching east side. Of course you need to be careful, especially on Stargazer…….Quote:

More rain coming. It would have been the most epic ski season ever if this summer precipitation was snow.
Don't want to spam this thread, but we'll be onto a new thread in a few weeks anyway.
Moved to NW VT (Bolton) and looking for part time, non-seasonal work. I have a non-classroom, education job now, but I need more work and some more income. Any woodworking, home building, sustainability consulting-esq, mags in need of help two or three days a week? Send me a pm! I'll work hard, bring snacks, listen to your music, whatever. No need to post in here - pm is fine. Thanks to you all who can help out!
Too much scotch etc during COVID, I don’t remember pre-COVID.Quote:

A very good band from my town Crooked Coast is playing at the pickle barrel Nov 18. If you are in the area I'll bet it will be a hoot! Maybe some FIS world cup ladies will be there on the dance floor. Alas I don't think I can make it.

Is the place in CT? I’ve always been curious but never made it over there.
^^ Tremblant I think...
yeah ^, Tremblant. colors are full peak and insane right now, i hope they don’t all come down this weekend.
also - the silly plastic skiing looks fun, most of the people were hitting features but some of them looked like they could also rail turns.
Would this keep up mad pat’s streak though?
Time to bust out the poles and get some skintrack fitness going. Forest about to Pop!
