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

[Norseman]

No crash... I had emergency surgery to have a section of my colon removed at Thanksgiving and was skiing with a colostomy bag all winter. Got reversed and reconnected yesterday. Good times!

I’m looking at spending the month of February out in Montana with the Ridge Hippies next season to make up for lost time. Would love to meet up.

Ah. Heal up and I'll pencil in a February trip back to momma Montucky.

Over the past few weeks, the "walking required" signs have gone from suggestions to pretty accurate. Some stuff is still pretty good top to bottom, but the thin spots are going quick. All photos are from open trails, second and third were labeled "walking required".

I did sneak over for a White Heat run, which is almost contiguous in coverage but probably breaking up more in the near future.Attachment 372348Attachment 372349Attachment 372350

d00d, it's the one with the longest steepest widest lift-serviced expert trail in the East! I wish i still had my stacks of dead trees from decades ago to whip out an ad. never skied there though.

Yup, Someday Bigger...eerrr, Sunday River.

The skiing in spots really was pretty good, and if Right Stuff corns up, it could be a really good top-to-bottom run...but just about everything else is some degree of sporty. I've got a pair of retired rental skis in the basement, those may come out for closing day (I think I can shove a gripwalk boot into the rental bindings).

Wasn’t bad. (Very) Limited terrain. The Jet was fun. Woods were 6” of light snow on dirt so a no go. People were poking around on closed terrain but anything without a man made base was an accident waiting to happen.

Old Man Winter served powder with a side of wind whipped cream on crust for late lunch.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Looks like some late season powder was claimed, two thumbs up!

Meanwhile at the bush





Status update for Fri, Apr 23

6:25 AM

We're skiing and riding on 7 trails, with Stein's Run, Snowball, Spring Fling, and Coffee Run getting another pass from our groomers overnight. Be wary of hidden obstacles, particularly on ungroomed terrain, that might be buried under a couple inches of snow. We recommend you take it slow until you know.

"Another pass" on Stein's last night appears to have only been half way down on the first pass before a hydraulic blowout. 50+/- gallons of Dextron only gets you 75% of the way back up before the tank runs dry. With 3 hours to opening bell they better get moving to clean up isle 1 before the first skiers arrive.

[ticketchecker]

Enjoy closing days everyone, looks like I’ve ridden my last chair this season.

Yeah. Both boys are fine. A bet testy and fatigued. And driving us nuts.

I spent 36 hours in bed. Up and about today but body aches and tight head.

I just feel bad for his birthday.
Spring skiing and buying parts for a computer build was all he wanted.

Shirtless white guys listening to hip hop in the parking lot, and I just pulled a mosquito off my ski pants. Must be closing day.
