    25.7` bob with 3 7/8" of dense new snow overnight. Plow went by at 6AM to level the snow/mud out, mud season should hit hard tomorrow.

    I like the look north of 89, from the top-o-VT to the old school sugaring [don't they have gas up north?].

    Off for Passover the crew came up to get in some midweek skiing.



    Likely their last visit to the Rock this year, so we took a couple of runs in the bumps

    good luck dude! yeah, i've found that unless I hit the bricks and make contacts and contracts face to face with local retailers, it's really hard to make more than a few bucks online...

    Thanks for the advice guys, I've been thinking that I need to get more "hard copies" out there for people to see/buy. I've also been toying with the idea of getting into some craft shows.

    Naw, don't worry about missing anything he might be doing as he's probably in the woods looking for his keys again asking himself why he had that second beer for lunch.

    Sorry you couldn't make it out today.

    You're going to get every possible mile out of that one aren't you. All keys were properly secured and only 1 lunch beer was consumed for calorie replenishment. For Bottle, Snowboarding + Fiddlehead Tejas Marron (today's choice) still = FUN!

    Due to the lingering mid mountain up cloud deck all day, only one decent pic from today's solo boot powered business on the closed side of Mt. AIG.

    Hard to believe that this blank canvas was still there for the taking at 1:30 but no complaints. Went back 2 more times to hit the trees riders left and surprisingly didn't see another person that far over, clearly everybody stuck to Perry or Gondolier.



    Looks like corn season begins in full force next week, nom, nom!

    NEK - Stellar shots, as usual! Seems like every restaurant down here in the city has pics up on the wall for sale, I can't imagine you wouldn't have at least a little luck selling some if you got them up on a few walls.

    Wicky bow wow wicky wow!

    Fog up high was thick, so stayed low where no lines meant no waiting.
    Yesterdays CR WROD skiing was forgotten



    When some Valerie? gal opened up



    Then some rock star birches



    And woods related to an old guy doing something with deer



    Like FD said folks had other things on their minds. Un believable snowpack for this time of the year, I was able to ski from the Slide Brook ridge all the way home in south facing woods. There was never a super deep base, it has just been lucky to stick around.
    See you on sunny Sunday.

    Anybody going solo to Cannon on Saturday? I'm looking to take advantage of the any-day twofer pricing they've got going, not to mention the ~22" they've gotten so far this week.

    Definitely a day that picked up as it went along.
    (And quite the contrast with yesterday up there, ugh -- well, at least for anyone getting a late start and watching the sun disappear on previously sunny aspects, ugh ugh ugh.)

    I found the details just now in an Instagram reply:

    Quote Originally Posted by Mount Washington Avalanche Center on Instagram
    Generally speaking all 3 were in the Lower Snowfields and were up to a foot deep and 40-50 feet across. As mentioned, very light south winds creating limited new wind slab issues, but as advisory discussed storm slabs were a problem. The Snowfields were the focused use areas for visitors today based on the "lower" rating than a number of Considerable areas. We are still in a winter snowpack with a number of near surface layers and weaknesses. Winds will rage tonight into tomorrow creating new slabs.
    I think the first -- or maybe all of these? -- were a bit after 11, judging by the time stamps on my pictures and what my partner told me he saw when he was taking a short break on the HoJo's deck.

    Huntington earlier in the morning was pretty quiet: just me and my partner, plus a rando racer I happened to know who was off on a technical climb, and actually digging snowpits instead of just going for it. Later on I talked with two other guys who had skied there.

    GoS had a steady stream of skiers throughout the day (including Marc Chauvin and Majka Burhardt) -- as we were leaving we saw a group of two (or was it three?) booting up #1, which looked spooky.

    In between (chronologically that is), the bowl seemed pretty quiet, with only a few people, and seemingly taking it easy -- then again, with low vis, maybe others were up higher whom I couldn't see.

    After that, Hillman's was the scariest. Although it was Considerable, I felt okay (whether or not I actually was...) skinning up the Irene dog leg, continuing up a bit from there, and then following a few previously set switchbacks up the pitch.
    That skintrack just seemed to keep going back and forth across the entire line, higher and higher ...
    So far the new snow seemed to be bonding reasonably well with the old crust, plus the new snow just didn't seem reactive at all.
    (When I had reported our Huntington findings, the snow rangers didn't seem that surprised.)
    But the view of the start zones up above was just getting too dramatic, even though I was still down fairly low in the line.

    The final straw was when on a hunch I turned my beacon to search shortly after passing four guys (possibly a party of three and a solo, although I wasn't sure on that) -- they were going to the top, or at least up high, with at least an ice axe or two.
    Silence.
    Was something wrong with my beacon?
    "You guys beeping?"
    No.
    Time to deskin and get out of there.

    They sure like to ski. I only got a scrap of matzo and had to keep my beer 10' from the dinner table.

    The non beeping sketchy snow scene is what I like to avoid, It is that time of year and goes with the territory.



    40.5` bob up from 33.2` at 5:30, windy with on and off showers. Snow is going to be x-tra gloppy today.

    When was the last time someone was actually completely buried by a slide on washington? My concern up there is getting taken out and thrown into rocks. Wet sluffs are definitely scary, but thankfully slow...er.

    Nice FD and VTCS and VTFH! I'm jealous.

    snowed at the beach again...wtf. I'm done with it down here.
