[buttahflake]

Go bite your nails, nervous boy

[paulster2626]

Seems like he snapped, bro.

Never mess with a guy who wears a basketball jersey to the hill.

[Timberridge]

Everyone seems to be a bit edgy this morning.

A picture to calm things down...

[JongDoe]

With fat enough skis the crust isn’t really a factor in Northern VT right now. A few clips from today’s tour.

Laughed at the narrative on that and nice open glades.

Re: the "fight" at Mount Snow, the dude that got body slammed was a skier and his bud was a boarder, Not sure what the big dude was riding, but seems like they turned it into yet another skier vs. boarder incident, Guess the ratings needed a boost.

Also getting some laughs from you guys going back and forth in the ski tech fracas,

[JTG4]

Same held true at Plattekill in the Catskills yesterday. While you could tell at times the crust was lurking, the woods were skiing pretty well.

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

I've seen more fights or near fights in the 4 times I've skied at Mt. Snow than any other place I've skied in 50+ years...with the exception of maybe my only day at Huntah. Lotta rage pent up in Gotham apparently

[Self Jupiter]

Re: the fight at Mt Snow: cab driver in Steamboat told me that bar fights amongst Texans are way less frequent over the past few years.

That’s some good stuff. I love southern Vt.

I don’t get people sometimes. I’ve seen video of an employee at a gym getting shoved (over a mask) much less than that body slam....and the guy doing the shoving ended up with an assault charge. Pent up frustration or no....you are skiing, and life is too short/complicated to risk an assault charge over something stupid.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Skiing is fun





On the other hand, postholing 4-500' of vert with some over 45º, not so much




Family of airb'ers from the Shire high centered the minivan Friday night, lol





Honey, lets try touring.
Ok, we should gear up!

Touring skis √
Boots √
Bindings √
Dog √
Coat for dog √
Backpack? We can use this City Market shopping bag, just ignore that guy who said "nice pack"

Not defending either guy as I have no idea what happened (other than "right in front of me" or whatever he was saying), but I am never not amazed at how many people, with at least a modicum of disposable income, can't understand concepts like "lines", "alternating", and "take turns."

I'm more of a "shaking my head" type guy, but I can see the devolution into a fracas happens.

True enough. Common sense and self control seem to disappear more and more each day....for a long time now, not just during COVID!

[t-the-east]

Perfectly soft groomers and a relatively empty mountain. Solid way to start the week

[buttahflake]

Dumping in SoVT right now

A few more inches would be great [emoji106].

You sound like NJ Dave
I think by now we all know that you are the the guy that scream’s get off my lawn the loudest and just my opinion, it’s getting old.
Ski your secret Lines and drink your IPA’s
You seem to have built a great life for yourself but spending your time taking pictures of Subaru’s with out of state plates stuck in a ditch or people not as hip as you trying to enjoy being outside may be funny to the 6 other people on this forum but again that’s how Dave started and look how it turned out for him.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

How'd it turn out for NJ Dave? Did he implode and go back to NJ?

Got no problems with vt freeheel...



Eta: can I gripe about EC ski sizing here while I'm at it?

The local Shops are trying to put my 6'1" 200lbs friend on a 177cm kenjo volkl. I'm recommending he doesn't ski anything shorter then a 182-185cm.
Why you guys ski such short skis?
Unless it's a slalom ski the Shortest ski I've ever owned was a k2 public enemy 179 for park.

Am I off-base and should embrace a shorter ski life or stick to my guns?

[Peruvian]

So does he sound like Benny, like you said back in December, or NJ Dave? I'm having a hard time keeping track.

[yellofin]

I didn’t realize you were monitoring my posts so closely. So I would say Dave and later on you can track this.
Or you can go out and enjoy all of beautiful snow in your state. Before all of the flat landers do.

[jackstraw]

Just wondering. Staying east of the Mississippi because I don't want to get SFB riled up. When La Rog was in his prime as a ski tech vs. Buttah now, who is the better ski tech?

I'm leaning to Buttah.

Ha! Probably me because I was a tech at $teaux where everyone has the best of the best, so naturally the best techs.

Not sure the rog ever tuned a ski. Did mounts and maybe a wax.

Hearing someone just took a ride down gos?

Dust on crust

[Vt-Freeheel]

.

Aww, you making me sad.



























Not really.
None of my lines are very secret, I just have better timing.

Dude, he's not hip.

your not off base at all - stick to your guns. Let em run!
Remember - 177's used to be ballet length.....
