    EC - something to watch

    Winter storm watch went up for tues-tues. night. 6+ possible across nothern NY and VT. In typical ec fashion it will start out as r@!n. The rest of the week looks snowy too.

    Hopefully there will be more even more reasons to be thankful this week.

    Hey Milton, are you still in Waitsfield? A friend got a job at Sugarbush so I'll be up a bunch this winter, we should make some turns.

    Bite your feaking tounge. Talk like that might get you tossed from the FSLRSBC.

    the peeps at NWS just got a bit more optimistic, calling for 5-9" tomorrow and 1-3 tomorrow night. That is one big mofo low pressure moving up the coast right now.

    You can't toss me out of my crew. It's not going to rain, it's going to snow because I'm going to be gone.

    Consider it a warning. Being dudgeonous is one thing, infact it is encouraged, but jinxing storms is a whole other level. If you did in fact jinx this storm your membership may be in jeopardy and will be voted upon at the next FSLRSBC executive safety meeting.

    I'll be in Moretown as often as I can be, usually ski MRG though since I can usually get free tickets since my parents are share holders. If you guys make a plan for the Bush though let me know and maybe I'll make turns witcha.

    Me too, except when I'm blacked out at Smuggs.

    Oh... wait.... There are no blackout days and I paid 1/2 the price.

    MSA? Meaningful Snow Advisory?

    MRG webcam went white around 3:00.

    Oh...wait... I get college rates and I still paid less than you.

    I'm guessing by the end of the season, the cost will even out anyway, since you have to drive an extra hour to go a few miles...

    I'm coming from the opposite direction, don't think it adds any time.

    Bill, I have no response for you.

    Just got back from skinning and skiing @ Smuggs. Easy 10-12" so far and another 6+ on the way over the next few days.

    Made some sweet turns down the sterling liftline with sequioashan and our dogs. The snow underneath was just dense enough to keep you from hitting too much stuff. And a nice layer of slightly lighter stuff on top. Very nice. Mrs V got a couple pics but I need to go pack for NY so i'll put them up later maybe. The pups ripped some sweet lines too.

    Unfortunately I'll be in NY until Sat afternoon, but I'll be back to ski on Sunday.

    Nice... I forgot about that. I think I'm going to try to hold off on the drives until its a bit more than ribbon of death, but we'll see. Hoping it keeps snowing.
