EAST COAST ROLL CALL #8 14/15 A NEW HOPE

[Jbuzz229]

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:

Thin Cover- Looks awesome where abouts was this filmed? Those glades look solid.

In the woods. Probably in Vermont. Possibly somewhere north of I-89.

Great stoke tc +1 on the FunZone!!

[Goniff]

I skied the Thunderbolt this afternoon. I didn't appreciate how cold the wind was until 0 F inside the "warming" hut at the top felt balmy.

[crank54]

Nice shots TC!

Who is touring tomorrow? Feel like some skinning and messing about in the woods.

[Magicsnowboard]

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.

I skinned 100 vertical feet today. At least two of my turns were earned.

It's not my fault you wanted to test your new "skinless skis" on the snowmobile trail. I'm sure that you'd be more likely to get a ride never crossed your mind.

[powbmps]

Great shots all! Looks like Ragged was a good call. Sucks to hear about more injuries.

Was thinking of going elsewhere, but opening the garage to 12" of fresh changed my mind. Summit lifts at Sunapee opened. First lot never even filled up. Didn't feel too cold. Best conditions there in years. For realz.

Sorry, no bumps today .

[therudeness]

might be my 3 micro-beer buzz but that POV was awesome ^^^

felt kinda warm with the sun today but just went out for a walk and it's downright frigid

[biggins]

Bring it in team...

You are all playing like champions right now. I am very proud of you all. You've earned the (stoke) record you have. Now on to a league title and a state championship. Own your stoke boys, own it, use it, smack it around, but never, ever, take your eyes off the prize.

Now go get the cones, balls, tables, clock, chairs, water and benches and get the hell up to the locker room. Don't forget to thank Big Daddy's mom for bringing the snacks on your way up the hill.

Buttahflake- gimme an extra lap for not posting stoke in a while. Then roll coach a splif would'ya...

[buttahflake]

i actually just spun one up, in my rolling machine, and rubbed some wax onto the wrapper, ghetto twax and whatnot.
this was from Monday at Magic.

[BigDaddy]

Funny, you say that... I brought the homemade banana bread for the ride up this morning (courtesy of my wife tho, not mom, lol).


Definitely great call to hit Ragged today. I am really trying hard to come up with something bad about it, but it's just unpossible. 12" of Utah powder, no lines, untracked glades until 2 and a great crew of mags to ski with, Worth skis underfoot... even a local beer named Ragged Red. Thanks to Crank for literally driving the bus on this jaunt and making it happen. Dude knows how to turn em and can drive through a blizzard like Santa in a sled going backwards. Great skiing/exploring with Bern43 and Geomorph, too... top to bottom at least 20 runs!


Amazing pics, video and tune TC... one of my all time favorites. That zone looks too good to be true? Damn!

[buttahflake]

no doubt, good stuff all around.
TC, who's the cat who stuck that cliff in the sequence shot?
well played!

[biggins]

Solid, kid. You're captain for this weeks games. Practice jersey's will say twax for the remainder of the season.

[geomorph]

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!


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

Yeah! Great meeting up with everyone and ripping some country club powder. That wind was rugged though.

[Anospa]

Well, I thoroughly regret not driving to ragged this morning!! I got some goods locally and took the folk's dog along, always makes things way more enjoyable!

What are you waiting for?




The struggle was real on the bootpack, waist to chest for most of the ~250'


She knows how to show her good side

[thin cover]

Thanks dudes, Easy stoke when its like this.

Pwbmps- that looks awesome and good skiing!

Nice work Peruvian and Buttah in the Magic Zone. Cant miss DW in that norrona leotard.

Local buddy, ripping skier after he started locking his heels down

[biggins]

I mean c'mon, whosagoodboy!

Great day with a great crew. I'm still amazed at the lack of lift lines.

[masaraksh]

Seems like today was pretty rough at the bush, any chance that tomorrow will be warmer?

MWOBS reporting (unverified) coldest location in the U.S. including all of Alaska.

Did he suck before he locked them down?

[Vt-Freeheel]

-11.9` bob with gusty winds. The wind came in with a vengeance around 2AM and moved a lot of snow. Moonscape looks, small branches everywhere and pencil hard slabs in the driveway. Clear sky = bright day.

Not likely, though the liftlines will be short.

yesterday morning was bearerable at the Bush,even saw VFH out and about. after lunch was a differant story one run and in.3 oclock couldn't come fast enough.

[FussyDutchman]

In the woods. Probably in Vermont. Possibly somewhere north of I-89.

I got a good laugh out of this!

Friends in from out of town and basketball tournaments all weekend have kept me inside, great to see so many taking advantage of the conditions.
