East Coast Roll Call #??? 20-21 Covid closures and hard core touring! Be Fit or Sit

In for the LOLZ

[cat in january]

Black Mountain of Maine has a new trail map. Seems we need one every four or five years to keep up. Hike to trails had excavator work and seeding, but the rain never came. Still should ski nice.

Going to brag some now. I took the lead on laying out and putting in the Osekare Uphill, Wild, East Branch, Roach and Headwaters Glades.

It is a community ski mountain with 0 second homes on the access road.

Sad to say, I have never skied Magic or MRG, but when the snow is good I would put our glades up against anyone’s, particularly if you like to jump.

Not seen on the map is all the glades that have been installed by Granite Backcountry Alliance between Black and Rumford Whitecap on Mahoosuc Land Trust preserved land. You can get quite a nice tour and Monday through Thursday the lifts don’t spin so it is like a private hill. Please pay the ticket online if you uphill

Nice work cat! I grew up on the West side of whitecap and skied many days at the old Black on the Rumford Jr High ski team. Sure has changed, and for the better. Pic of my bro and friends on top of Whitecap for some turns in the early ‘90’s.

paging all EC mags for a ski off with benny profane. Killington. Date tbd. apparently he rips harder than 90% of the board so make sure to wax your boards and box!

You better check the spare.

We are rolling with the Indy pass. Family with 10, 7 and 5 year olds who aren't in a weekly program. Seems like a great way to explore spots the kids haven't been.

We have had Peak passes since they started, with a family place in N. Conway and Crotched for day trips from metro-west Boston. Family place is gone this year, so great opportunity to branch out.

And Jay, Magic, Cannon don't hurt! May save some of those for mid-week storm days. [emoji1]

Were these at the Tele film fests when it was in Brunswick? I went every year from I think 2003-2009.

Dynastar Course skis with the weighted tips! Classic.

Dynastar Course skis with the weighted tips! Classic.

Wanted a pair of those growing up, so classic.

Rolling Indy Pass as well with one of the kids. Looking forward to getting back to Magic and Jay after a long time away.

I had a pair. If you crossed your tips there was no going back.
My favorite ski from that era was the Elan Comprex X. I still think Elan skis do not get enough love in the USA

No, Randonnee Cafe’ was my failed attempt at owning a cafe’. The restaurant business can fuck right the fuck off! Props to those who can do it, I could not.

I have cases of stuff left over, including a lifetime supply of stainless mugs. I’ll bring some when I go ski and gladly give any mags a couple if we meet up.

Yes, the Chicken Hearts. I remember when they would explode and the weights would go flying and hit you in the face. You could then either run them with holes in the tips ala’ DH boards or drill out quarters for weights and try to rebuild them and epoxy back together. Classic indeed.

Could you at least capitalize it so you aren’t racist. “chinese Downhill”

Have you floated the concept of a group buy in this thread?

Sorry. Didn’t mean to blame you. Was trying to talk to your phone.

No, I’m too lazy for that. I’ll throw a case in my truck and any mag who wants a mug can have one if they happen to cross paths with me this winter. Benny included.

Great picture of your bro and I am in for a mug exchange for one of my wife’s muffins.

Picture yesterday from the Headwaters glade. This starts the East Bowl that is 1,000’ vertical of a glade network the map only begins to show.

[singlecross]

cat, I’d love to have you show me around for a day at the new Black. Let’s make that happen.

[Peruvian]

You can’t just start talking about your wife’s muffins without posting pics.

Fuck. You have it made in Jackson, killer glades and the absolute best restaurant I have EVER eaten at. Celebrated my last two anniversaries there. Jackson is worth the drive just to hit THE alone, now I see killer tree skiing.
