East Coast Roll Call 6.0 Get Your Stoke On!

^^^Nice shots TC - hoping to replicate that today. 5 to 8 more at the base overnight and still cranking. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like up high.

for a bit more beta on george, just got an email from one of our snow rangers wanting to hook up for a surf tomorrow.

his words:

"For what it's worth, skiing the Sherb today was better than hiking down from work, but not by much. Gully #1 was looking like a solid two pitches of grade 1+ ice climbing two days ago when I went up to check on the caches. If the temps drop and we keep getting moisture, things might start looking up pretty soon."

hopefully whatever's there got really wet, we get more, and it all freezes into one glacial mass to protect us from what lurks below.

sunday/monday after x-mas is on my radar, rob. in case yer around.

I'll be in Tahoe that weekend. Was thinking this Sunday but well see, not looking likely. According to the nws server they got 2" of liquid equivalent, mostly snow but some freezing fog and freezing drizzle, in the last two days with more coming. Up to an inch of qpf Friday alone, and more Friday night into Sat. Starting to think there will be lots of unstable pockets in bony terrain.

Hoping that they get a chance to take some pictures tomorrow during the brief high and that provides some info.

Kirkwood is a bit of a drive, but their elevation usually helps them when Tahoe proper is getting rained on. Mammoth has been getting pounded with snow, but that's a good couple hours away.

The weekend is looking good here in midA, should at least get some meadow skipping in.

[Sirshredalot]

Leaving to visit in-laws in Northern MA/Southern NH tomorrow. I hate to say it, but I'm considering biking over skiing.

Anybody ridden Willowdale lately? Has the recent turn in the weather killed biking season yet?

[therudeness]

man, you can fully see the TC zone on the radar today. hope that keeps up

great day yesterday in the lanaudiere, i guess that's what we call the laurentians-east



anyone skiing north of the border dis weekend? best to meet up with a local to get the proper safety regulations sorted out

Good to see everyone gettin after this snow. Wish it was here in VT but a relatively short drive yielded bottomless pow and 30 min free refills all day. TWD actually was knocked over by the wind on the skin track at one point. It was massively puking sideways. I would say 2 feet fell by the time we left with much deeper drifts. Consolidated surfy pow. Perfect for opening terrain up.

We were way impressed with Saddleback's terrain, the vibe, and the people. Definitely going back when we can actually see it.
Some pics to go through but here are few to get the ball rolling

TWD first Lap

sick! wish i could have made time to get to ME... had to make do with our non-country-club country club...

had a similar experience, but not quite as awesome early season experience up at Saddleback prolly 7 years ago now... swore i'd be back... haven't foudn the time :/ nice job gittin sum!

caution, this is not vermont. maine, true country club country

are you calling VT NOT A COUNTRY CLUB!? IT IS A COUNTRY CLUB!! IT'S FLAT AND BORING (ESPECIALLY THE HARDWOODS!!) AND EXPENSIVE JUST LIKE A COUNTRY CLUB!!

How dare you... how DARE YOU!!!!

after i dropped my beamer off at the valet, and had a hot toddie today at my country club before the lift opened, the skiing was pretty good too my good man... phhbbbtt.... not a country club... screw you a$$hole

I wanted to catch yesterday's "pow-day" at Jay Peak. Unfortunately I had a phone interview, and roaming long-distance charges in the USA are rougher than prison rape.

On the bright side, the interview was with the CAC in Revelstoke.

[therudeness]

^^^ that's awesome. good luck!

it's like one big group country club hug :P

edit to add: yes you are dead right. EC = win right now

[thin cover]

GP- it was fun, that mountain is a special spot.

But today in north vt is going off like nothing I expected this morning. Nuking sideways again. People are skiing Madonna 1 top to bottom. Snow is light and nice up top and almost as deep as Maine was getting yesterday. Surprise day for sure. This is how winter should be. Pics are looking stellar.

Nice shot rudeness looking good up that way too!

EC is indeed involved in full on winter right now

[MadPatSki]

i'm sure massif will have a nice total to pump for the weekend

Massif got 91cm of snow in the last 48....yet they still have 14 out of 52 trails open. Skiing under rope would be the order of the day for if it wasn't the last week prior to Christmas with a bunch of stuff to get done, that where I would be going.


Have fun out there folks...Ottawa is supposed to get some extra snow by the end of the week...wish we could get some extra mountains with real vertical. Ahhh, the life of a family man with kids in a local ski program.

edit: nice pic of VSC rudeness. I haven't skied there since I got stitches for the cut on my chin, Happened in the 1st run of a slalom race in maybe 1990.

Weather sucks. Too wet for mountain biking. I'm moving to Texas.

Well, I could think of worse places to be stuck. Have fun.

Fuck my life.

Here in Ontarioooooooooooo, green grass, above freezing temperatures and rain are the forecast of the day.

Fuck my life.

Add mine to the fuck list. I was all set to make the drive to ME this morning until my key deal for the quarter went to shit. So desk and comp it is . . .

Let's let generalized. Not great, but not green where I am.

No way I can get out on Friday...school thing with my youngest; I have priorities.

I should really be ditching work tomorrow and Friday and making a trip up to ME. Or to Le Massif for that matter!

But other key guys on my team are already off, so someone needs to man the ship. Wait... i'm the senior guy here, how did this happen?

And it's only white on the slopes because of the smidgen of man-made that has managed to hang around.
