Happy 4th.

Also, I'm organizing a deforestation militia to open up some new terrain at Stratton, Okemo, Killington and Sunday River. I've got a van full of Agent Orange and I'm working on a flame...

I'll keep an eye out. I'll be skiing Praxis or Trabs with Dynafits. I'll have a blue or red pack. Probably an OR sun hat with a full brim. 5'10" oval face...

I'll be in GOS and maybe Oakes on Saturday with an inexperienced friend or two, and a bit further North on Sunday.

Akokskis, here's some westside pics from last year:

Well done and congrats to you both.

I wish I was heading to George. Were I avoiding the famous ravine, I'd go up GOS, head over to check out Oakes, and plan on enjoying the travel as much as the descent.

Two more days of work...

Greg, even though you've become the arch devil of the EC roll call thread, a twisted fiend hellbent on Internet domination, I must say you have elevated your already impressive photog skills this...

I've got something like that going on. Good stuff.

Heh heh heh. That's why I don't ski there on the weekend.

My jealousy knows no bounds. I should be descending Duchess right about now. Ack!

What I wouldn't give to ski up high tomorrow...

Done! Sorry about that.

Relax, Jong. That was clearly a "Jong" of endearment.

And nice work. Bring on the video.

Skied the thunderbolt trail with my dog yesterday. Still great cover on 95% of the trail. It was my first time there. It exceeded expectations. It reminds me of the GOS trail but wider and the steep...

Nope I was on 191 Lhasas (not to be confused with uppernotmaster who wason 186's) until 2:30 when I put on some Trabs and skinned up.

Glad I went to Magic. It's always good to see biker/boarder, and a pleasure to meet bucket, moegul and others. Remembered how much I enjoy skiing bumps (when their soft) today.

Anybody know the...

Magic for me. Red jacket. Grey pants. Lhasas.

Anybody hitting Burke? Never been.

Skied right on the 4th of July in '97. I peed my pants hiking up wet rock in my Langes to avoid postholing the remaining sliver of undermined snow. Then I pooped while clicking in at the top of the...

NOAA: 6-10" total in northern NH between 2500-400 feet.

Edit: and yeah, TC = powder magnet.

Will a foot of snow get Magic back to 100%? Will the trees be a go?

Seeing snow/rain for Saturday. Any thoughts on elevation/ latitude where it will be all snow?

I'm hoping for some manageable winter condition on Sunday. Need a partner.

I want it to be clear that I'm not joking at all when I state the following:

I believe that much of the animosity towards DaveVt is a result of his avatar. Every time I read one of your posts I'm...

ML wishes he was cool enough for Murray Hill.

Heading to Poconos (first time!) for Bachelor/Bachelorette party today. Any suggestions on where I might ski without riding lifts? Blue Knob is closed. Anyone know if they have some coverage left?...

Ah. Pardon my reading skills. Can't wait to get up high.

Yesterday's Avy bulletin had a considerable rating for the whole bowl. Did your observations contradict this? Congrats on your first trip into a wonderful place.

I don't know Petrics, are you turning into a Blurred in Lou Dawson's clothing? Might want to let the pics do the talking for a while.

Over the course of Sunday night and Monday morning, 1thenaton1 and I drove for 8 hours, through all sorts of outrageous weather, from NYC to within 9 miles of Middlebury VT (our intended place of...

Any NYC area mags want to join me for a snow uh... sick day Monday? I want to ski powder. MRG?

I completely agree that a ski cut belayed or otherwise, on that slope would not be of much use. There have only been a couple of occasions when I really wanted to perform a belayed ski cut. One was...

Excuse the nitpicking, but I believe you're overrating the steepness of that slope. All but a few very small sections of that snowfield are significantly less than 38˚. Most of the "steep rollovers"...

Glad you made it out ok, Rog. That area is so low angled that its has always surprised me how big it rips out. The second pic shows that it has gone significantly bigger not too many years ago (if i...

Just had some boot work (two different pairs) done at Stan and Dan's in North Conway. I've also had them do some ski repair for me in the past. They're honest, quick and good. I appreciated that the...

Nice thing about GOS is you can skin all the way to the top (if you know where to go), which I'm guessing might be more efficient for you even if it means travelling a bit further. I'd be up for a...

Well, how were the skis?

NY has vacation next week.

Grubbers, are you touring tomorrow morning? I'm looking for a partner. It should be pretty good.

Glad you like them. I will never sell my 120's. I would have kept the Wailers if they were 178's. The 188's skied longer than I like for mixed conditions touring/ billy goating (which was what I...

A couple pics from a VT summit Yesterday. So many people told me my toes and nose would freeze off, I almost started to believe them. Skinned up without hat, gloves, jacket. Perfect weather. It was a...

Wasn't aware. Thanks.

This Sunday may be the only day I get to ski for a while. Ugh. I'm planning to tour somewhere north of Killington in VT unless there is a good reason to go elsewhere. How far north must I go to avoid...

School in NYC not cancelled. Oh well. Enjoy the snow everyone.

A pair of measuring calipers (preferably digital) makes the job a lot easier, since you can easily make sure the binding holes will be in exactly the right place before you drill. It also helps to...
