7 weeks post hip replacement and I got on snow! Mrs P and I skied a bit of Section 21 of the Catamount Trail.

I suspect I will be ready for some turns on mellow terrain once the mountains open in a week or so.
^^^ Nice recovery! Bet it felt good to get back to sliding. Congrats
Nice tts setup, too!
I got out to MRG again, but this is the best I can do for stoke until Peruvian is back out skinning.

We hit DH today. Once we got a boot pack in, it was easy dreamy laps. They'd had 3 feet, and another 6 inches fell while we were there.Quote:

Nice form Peruvian!
Cannon had natural snow trails open yesterday.
Should be cold all week but dry.
Crazy to be open before the big guys like Loon and Sugarbush.
No soup here!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5aaf239fb3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c994440c88.jpg
After the crazy warm fall it's great to see some actual skiing going on. Finally gotten cold enough bob for improved snowmaking output..

Checked some lines Saturday, found some skiable with a few deadfalls that could be cleared and a few hobbled to unskiable this winter

A walk over Sat afternoon confirmed what I thought, making mush and nowhere near enough to open Sunday

So I messaged VT AOT about the chicanes not being removed on the Jeff side of the Notch Rd. This mainly impacted parking for recreational use from the north (about 40 parking spots). Here is the reply I received today:
“Good morning,
District Maintenance had removed the chicane on the Stowe side to be able to perform winter maintenance. On the Cambridge side we were able to perform winter maintenance with the Chicane installed, therefor the initial decision was to leave it. After internal conversation and hearing from our stakeholders, AOT has made the decision to remove the Chicane. When weather allows for us to conduct this activity, district maintenance crews will be out there. Thank you for your patience and understanding. “
I love Vermont for this reason. I’m sure mine wasn’t the only message sent. Democracy dies in the shadows and VT is too small for this type of request to be ignored.
Chicanery!
Chicanenigans!
Chicane must be spoken with a British accent. "Fittipaldi enters the chicane..."
Hey Brother, can you spare some water?

First day for me, WV was soft and fun. Second year I have started my Indy pass here. I love this place.

3-6" forecast for the Loaf dropped a foot, here's to a season of under promising and over delivering
Here's to hoping.Attachment 506506Quote:

Sweet rig, cat. I’ll probably be at Bolton tomorrow, maybe Sugarbush Sunday.
I don't know Stowe that well yet, so wound up doing some low angle turn farming. But man was it fun. Did not expect to find knee deep snow today.

Sounds like some damn good sleeper early season skiing has been going down. Honestly those mid tide country club reserved run December turns are probably my favorite conditions. Wish I could have gotten after it.
Planning on Wildcat on Sunday but if someone wants to advise me to hit something better like Cannon or whereved I'd do it. Thursday/Friday overnighter later this week I think maybe do Wildcat then instead or even Stowe.
smuggs should be fun this weekend…
fact.
Best opening weekend at Magic in ….. ever
Knee deep over dirt! Watch those waterbars! Pole tips tell the story.

Wildcat it is tomorrow and I'll toss some rock skis in the car just in case the off piste looks good.
Haven't skied there since Fail took over interesting they chose a different early season WROD route.
For my money thats the best chairlift in New England. When the broke ass former management put it in the lifties and all the employees used to brag that the wind never blew side to side and they would run it up to 50 mph gusts. I LOVE Wildcat.
Looks like the Loaf lost Amos.Quote:

Skiing is fun. My legs are toast.
Great to slide again.
How do you pronounce Plattekill?
For some reason I always thought 2 syllables. Silent e. But someone who says they ski there a lot said it with 3. Like platypus.
I see pics of it here so figured someoneight have thoughts.
The kool kidz call it “Platty.” You’re welcome.Quote:

Two laps was all I could muster, but they were sublime. I skied with Roman, Riley and Joe.
