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

Sounds good ML, sounds real good.

Man oh man, I love the first day.

Now to get my shit together...

Still snowing hard at kmart

ah, decisions decisions...heading down from Montreal, winter tires already on...couple hours at least no matter how I dice it...really not sure where to go yet. Time to wax on, wax off, pack up, and pick somewhere at the last minute (I guess, 4:30AM r something dumb like that).

Hope to see some of you somewhere or other. Or not.

Shred on!

You don't see an issue, but what would be the reaction of anyone who doesn't ski and see you crossing the border when the border patrol haven't seen snow in months?

Wondering if you are telling the truth or wondering what are you smoking? LOL

Definitely not gear related as I've crossed with some old boards when it's this time of the year.

From "slopes" on k-zone.



$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Can't do tomorrow but hopefully will ski sunday. Looking forward to reports to help decide where... rain rain stay away!!

Met the crew, ML242+1, Diamondback,TC and family at the Alchemist at 5. Used my contacts to secure a table as TC walked in the door. Had some tasty food and drove back to the Valley.
Weird trip as a car heading the other way veared off the road after passing TC and drilled a tree head on. I stopped but her friends got her out and into their car [bloody head and all] and sped off back the way they came. Sorry no pics.

Went to top of the App Gap met TC went back down then up for a picture.
Bunch of New Yorkers trying to push a Prius up the hill. More NYers in an F250 tried to pull it up then got stuck, prius turns around and crawls back down.



I finally honked so they would move and rolled by to the top



6" top

4" upper lot

3" lower lot


I think the resident "weather guy" is just guessing at this point.

Accident was odd, 1/3 mile East of Harwood accross from Flatiron road , wet pavement no snow. Methinks drinky much.

Just pulled into kmart and it is snowing with 4-6" on the ground at the bottom. See ya in the morning, I'll be in a silver tundra

Will be @ MRG at 11ish with brother in tow.

I used the finger moustache-finger moustache!

I'd say that my forecast totals for the adk- on my write up were for 4-8...with "more possible in higher terrain" so I'm really happy with that. The huge numbers up high - particularly the 2 feet of dry high on whiteface (which is an amazing number almost impossible to predict) were not on anybody's radar.
It wasn't being talked about because it resulted from a complex set factors of dynamic cooling and colder un-modled temperatures in the snow growth zone. Also- normally in strong easterly flow event the northern greens do better than the adk. They wring more moisture out of the flow and act to shield much of the adk. However, here it appears that Whiteface did much better as the flow was more circular around from the NE ...this mattered...

regardless...I'd never turn to that darkside....
You know where my heart lies....

As for all you skiing out there...I told you I liked the chance for october turns...so now go get some.

d

slept late, heading out in a few, will be trying to get to whiteface by 10. Tiny old dark green Nissan with tints
splitboardin up, red pack, see me give a holler.

Where are you? You could not be in front of your computer...

^^^^ml242 ad nj freeskier are at the top of the rock reporting 2 feet. Just as I said the bush does the best with these early season storms, K was just a front to draw people away from the real deep

Pic sent by nihiles, top of castle rock

Drool!!!!

fucking Murph Dog getting tittyballs. while i have lunch with my parents. FML
bring the stoke East Siiiiiide

ML and co booting up at not quite the top of the bush. I had to bail before hitting top, but it was good up high, sketchy down low. And wet. Very very wet.



(moar later-ish?)

NIIIICE!!! Glad to see somebody getting after it. Haven't heard any reports from Maine yet but it looks like The Loaf probably got skunked. No snow at the base on the webcam. The top is totally covered in fog so can only hope that it's snowing up high under there.

sugarloaf got nothing. their facebook page is reporting just rime ice at the top :-( which sucks because i saw a number of forecasts calling for 4-6" at the top.
