[Mr. Multiglisse]

All this down is awesome, but what about the up?

[Irishexit]

Skied Hickory today with NmbrdDays. Place is legit, pow turns all day.

[robrox]

God damn it. First run of the day, spiral tib-fib left leg. Game over

Bummer! PT is your future painful friend. Maybe you can be ready for 2015 MW Memorial Day Slackfest and BBQ

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

No, seriously...it's good to be home.

I headed out to the highest Taconic with a non-mag buddy today. Here he is, keeping up with the Carthusians.

Magic was totally great yesterday and got to ski a couple of runs with Garyfromterrace but somehow, I feel like I made the wrong choice...I've learned my lesson; never turn down an invite from Peruvian!

So much good skiing going on lately, looking forward to more.

A pleasant run was had on the way home yesterday



North was looking nice Friday



Until the winds



Folks up the hill should slow the fuck down

[Vt-Freeheel]

Heaven's Gate, GMX, Summit, Inverness and North Ridge currently on Win Hold

Add Valley House

Skiing was half and half. The snow was awesome with copious amounts of wind transported snow equaling refresh city. The current -8` mid and constant 35-50 mph wind, not so much. Minute or two wait for chairs kept the action quick and the facemask/mitts did their job. Castlerock lift ride was brutal with full in the face wind but Liftline snow made up for it. Jedi E** stayed out[good on him] saw SkiFish4life and he claimed he was "toasty", Surface Whore was bummed to have pulled a lesson today.

Sun seems to be out, so much windblown snow in the air now I can't see Steins.

Magic was OK today. Attachment 164004

Awaiting my doggie jacket, looking forward to getting her out there for longer than ten mins.

[Bottleman]

Too cold for this old fart to ski today so I thought I'd relive yesterday for a minute or three.

[scharny]

Stowe says -17F at top of quad at 12:05pm, but Sugarbush reporting +4F on top of Mt Ellen at 2pm. How is that possible?

Summit quad is closed today. There's no one there to read the thermometer.

[JerseyDave]

Hello wind. Good by tracks.

[Bottleman]

Hello wind. Good by tracks.

Tracks? What tracks?

[JerseyDave]

Tracks? What tracks?

The multiple dozen my neighbors and I have been laying day in, day out for the last 10 days. Crossed one today....it's probably gone now.

Crossing tracks is strictly verboten

[yellofin]

Was heading to the bush or MRG but called ahead single on wind hold and most of the bush on hold as well so bear at killington was the call bear was warm and wind free compared to the other side wow so much untracked in the woods it's all good what a day

[ex-powderbroker]

Hickory received 2-3 overnight and the same wind that buried yesterday's tracks did in a powerline somewhere ending the t bar and poma 2s day. Poma 1 came back online just as i finished dialing in my skins for other skis in the car resulting in a real "oh shit" moment. Had a blast skiing with a grandfather named ken from near Albany. Hope I'm ripping around the adk woods and skiing slides while my kids are teaching their kids.

Not that I have any that I know of.

Great day today at Ragged with BigDaddy, Bern43, and Geomorph. It was damn cold and the wind was unreal, but the foot of blower pow and the lack of crowds meant we had as much as we wanted. What a great place!

BD rips some untouched


Geomorph busts through

Yours truly


Some bramble shots for Bottleman and VT-F:




All that said, Ragged is terrible and no one should ever ski there.

[Vt-Freeheel]

I laughed, thanks.



Does look good, so much refill on the wheel.

[Bottleman]

Brambles FTW!!!

Sweet shots.

[thin cover]

You got that right Bottleman and awesome stoke bud, dig seeing the Midd folks getting after it so much

Tough to stop getting out, regardless of temps, when it continues to be perfect skiing hiking around:










Cold one today but its winter:



Quick Edit from a tour yesterday:

[vt_ski]

125' vert of stoke!

Werd. 10 days straight. 9 on skins.

I actually earned my turns. I'll let MSB explain how he "earned" his beers.

Bad cell pics.
