East Coast Roll Call 6.0 Get Your Stoke On!

[thin cover]

Best solution: Mad River Rocket. I can't kneel though (it's why I went to paddling a kayak instead of my beloved Dagger Quake), so I ride mine ass-down. Wait a minute, that didn't sound right...

You know that I cant kneel, but with 3" it could be fun in full kit sliding down the slope on your yak. I will carry it up for you and take shots.

Didn't look so bad here this morning



Didn't feel up for the climb to see if it was skiable this morning as nightriding season started last night. Knew that teh Fis team would get after it.

... but looks kind of marginal even by my low standards.

ya, i remember that one. i was riding my mtb daily in telluride up to over 12k in just a riding jersey that month. i remember laughing when i heard about that dump back home. pretty cool.

second session at the rivermouth this am was titties with very few folks out. good size and power with head high sets. almost wished i had a leash with me, but never had to chase the board so that was nice.

hmmmm 3rd session?

way to slay the whitegrass FIS!!!

how long will we have to wait now?

[icelanticskier]

welcome back philip, how you livin?

rog

[Philip Oliver Wholz]

yup, thats why skis have edges. .... it's why it's my favorite place in the world to ski, never boring and you have to be so fucking sharp in yer technique up there. every time i go back to the wasatch and touring i find myself in a continuous yawn.

sure you do. you should post that same video of you on "THE ROCK PILE" again. its been a couple of days since you have, and only posted it a dozen times so far. one or two people may have missed it.

On a mission to check out a "new" slide in the Whites this weekend. Hoping it's as accessible as we think. First time I've seen this in the forecast:


for somewhere other than MTW.

This was very productive.

All in all, we got really freaking lucky that we didn't have to downclimb this thing. Not sure what we'd of done if we weren't able to top out.

nice slide recon, like how you're not givin up the spot too! I'm thinking this is the slide I reconned last fall after Irene.. If it is, I really wanted to hit it up last year but didn't think the snowpack was great and no views of this from any rd.s. The one I'm thinking of is on the east side of the whites and the backside of.........

Well, I met MattChuck2 at Stewart's at 8:30 this morning, planning on driving to Whiteface. Ended up at Stowe and after a few calls/looking at it for a while, we decided that the Stowe Mtn bike club trails were a fun ride!

Got there too late and there wasn't enough snow for us. I wanted to do it, but, it just wasn't really feasible. Like others said, there's a lotta winter left.

Greg, good on ya for getting out there!

[BigDaddy]

Didn't look so bad here this morning

I hope everyone appreciates how we passed on 2' of untracked pow to instead prep for the Fest...

[Vt-Freeheel]

Bucket the above pic was 11:15 when the clouds lifted, This was at 3:15 after Sol had a peek. Low last night bob 37.2`.

organgrinder skier's right was probably pretty skiable early...see any skiers/tracks today?

in any case more snow in forecast for 2nd half of week.

windows shut, wearing a hat indoors. not like last autumn!

[TheOriginalGraniteChief]

My summer-fall projects






There are a few more pair left to build and one or two not shown here. Bring on the snow.

How much does a pair of those go for and can you make them look like my old maharaja water ski?
