Thread: Its Baaaack: EC roll call version 4.0(beta)

had a beautiful day up at Bolton, were any mags skiing there today?

Empty all morning, such a treat.

Today was a sleeper day for sure. Some very nice, cream cheese snow was to be had and I met 2 cool mags to share it with. Arewolf and mmmmBeer-good to meet you and ski with you! Just got back from Tratoria in Newport for a Jay Peak marketing and sales x-mas party.(wife is lodging director) Good times and good food! I love yankee gift exchanges!

storms ALWAYS happen when Roark leaves the state too. This time, he's deep in the southern hemisphere, so we're in for a WHOPPER. Thanks ROARK and BUMPSKIER for sacrificing for us!

thanks GPetrics, that place is really cool

Long time lurker here. I joined to say thanks for posting your vid and the details of your new cam. I just pulled the trigger on the Drift HD170 after seeing this. Amazon.com had it for $128.

Let the JONGification begin.

this is from yesterday

Updated...man these events are awesome. I wish I wasn't so busy yesterday I would have really gone in depth. But as you can see - at least we got the point down.

I'll have something up tonight regarding this weekend/Monday event.

Good to meet you ISBD, and I'll second that Plattekill was a good time. Now that I've actually looked a trail map it looks like I could have picked a better route to skin up, but it was a fun few laps while my legs lasted.

Whats the deal with the flyers and Boucher's with all the good 2 for ones?

Hopefully there's still some snow left tomorrow.

Actually, my keen sense is telling me that it will dump 45 cm overnight, but only south of the border, leaving the roads open to braver drivers.

I actually liked your way up as it is probably the most isolated, scenic way. Trails on the other side (where they were filming people sledding???) had a snowmaking base, however. The best snow of all (over a foot, and supportive) was a very short shot skier's left of the peak (called bumps?), which led back to the side that had snowmaking. It was an inefficient route, but there was no snowmobile noise on the way up, and I didn't get any core shots.

Linky? I'm pretty sure you're talking about the X170, not the HD170... But at that price, looks like I'd be buying myself a present if it is the HD170.

some shots in the dark from my phone. Geto shred. No sweet mountain poetry, magic hour shots, fancy cams or Transcendentalist Walden Pond musings here, just sodium lamps, smog, and salt spray. Love it. Better than no turns at all!

that fucking ruled.
addit: and so has the rap tunes. so much better than all that patchouli pop.

DOWORK: its not the HD price. i peeped it yesterday on amazon, comes up $280 in the cart or something like that.

Awesome! Great music, great tree runs... Keep 'em coming dood!

I'm heading to NH in a few hours and might have to take a sick day if this storm rolls through. I am hoping for a MAGIC MONDAY!

my mistake. Yes, it's the X170. Should be fun to mess around with. I didn't want to drop $$$

Last I heard, the storm is not going to amount to as much as they thought...

I know, my bad for jinxing it. Still looking decent, though... maybe Wednesday?

Ten more inches last night, almost two feet since Monday and it looks like we might get a decent storm starting later in the weekend too. Ropes are dropping faster than we can ski the powder!

John

Doesn't really look decent anymore for this storm.
Never was feeling it anyway...
I'll write it up but I gotta say we should really put the idea of synpotic low pressure systems bringing us big snows to bed.
Nina doesn't equal big coastal pow making bombs
it equals sw flow, lake effect, elevation dependent storms that track right over us and shit that cuts to our west.

Until I see the cyclogenesis happening off Long Island this season I ain't buying no coastal solution.
