How is it up there?
Trying to decide if I should bring the Explosives or lug up my AT setup(TM:X's w/ Freerides). G4's will probably make the trip regardless, but I just don't wanna lug more gear then I have too

For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was

Bring the Explosives, you're going to need them. Starting to squall again and things are getting deep.

I'm bringing my 168 carvers and...
Really, I'm bringing my ss pros & my new karma/freeride setup. That should do the trick. I say bring the exploders. I hope to see some BRO's around too. Some that are set for a 317 boot.

alright-what's everybody bringing? I'm bringing my regular alpine setup and my fatter AT setup- I'd like to get in on some of the ob expeditions-do I need to bring skins? so far, any ob stuff I've done at stowe has been a relatively short boot-pack. how about my tele and snowboard stuff-I'm kind of a tele gaper-anybody else going to flail?

its all bootpack or sidestep.
snow will be soft, and possibly deep.
confirm or deny if this meets "deep" criteria (shot from tuesday)
skier is on spatulas, as should all of you be.

I had probably my single best ski run on the east coast today. The run did not involve groomers or moguls.
I say bring the Explosives.

I'll be on my Bro's but 317 would be a big stretch. Set for 308 right now.

im sitting here watching the rainfall, scratching my head wondering how someone in whistler could ever be jealous of people heading to stowe for the weekend. weather can be so cruel. its a good thing guns are not available in canada.

Atomic GS11 are back home in Austria, so I don't really have a choice and will bring my MoJos.

STOWE UPDATE!!! I skied Stowe today.....it was a sick day. Wind delay in the morn but then it opened up and there were still many freshies to be found. I might head to Jay tomorrow, not sure but possibly stowe again...t-bone i'll get back to you when i decide. It should be a good weekend. I'm excited to be shown some more goods by those of you who know more about the mountain. I didn't explore much today.
