I agree! looks more fun then going to see the 2 horses at the chicken sanctuary! Really, it's a fucking chicken sanctuary, I can't make this shit up! They also rescue other animals ie. the 2 horse for me work on. I work as a farrier and have to put shoes on horses and trim there feet. Today was something for the book. Working in this flaping tarp barn that was full of not just chickens but geese and turkeys too. The loose cows were going through the back of my rig knocking shit out all over the place. At one point there was a cock fight right uder the horse while I was holding one of his feet. Holy Fuck! I wanted to tell them about my own chickens, but didn't think they find me funny at all! Hope you all had some good visuals at my expense!!
Oh, and the rain is still comin' down in Southern Vt.

Raining hard at Jay now, 45F degrees.

On a tangent, the food at Jay Peak's restaurant (Alice's Table) is impressive. I got to sample 12 entrees tonight as part of my training. The chef came out and explained all the dishes and ingredients. Most of it is locally sourced, and he uses lots of bacon in his dishes. Only real butter, which is whipped daily (no vegetable oils whatsoever), homemade pasta rolled daily, organic greens and vegetables, very minimal deep fried food (nothing we sampled tonight was fried), and a lot of the meats are from Brault's.

Let us know when it turns to snow!

Woodcorps and I ate at Alice's Table for our anniversary in September. It was the first time we'd eaten there, but we'd heard good things about it from people we consider to be rather discriminating. We were not disappointed. The food was very good, nice wine selection and the ambience is just the right mix of rustic and upscale. But honestly, the employees who waited on us were remarkably professional and really added to the "perfect evening" we enjoyed there.

We made it through most of the day with no rain, I was hoping we'd dodge it Alice's Table is THE BOMB. Every mag has to try this at the Tower Bar:


Backcountry Bacon Platter
• VT Bacon with Almond, Pecan, Brown Sugar and Black Pepper Crust, Served with Jasper Hill
Blue Cheese, VT Apples, and Home-baked Crostini

Paired with:
JAYHATTAN
Bacon infused bourbon, Vermont maple syrup, Angostura bitter


I'm Homer droolin just thinkin about it! Gonna go to Steaux tomorrow to get some boot lovin done and get some good pizza. Also going to swap out kegs at Rock Art

turned to snow before 5 in Lake Placid at 1500. Snowing hard!! About an inch at 5 when I left. who knows what its doing at 5,000. down in KV at 900 still pouring but its 35 out.

Weather.com says it is icing over the whole presidentials, but the base of Washington it 42, somthing doesn't make sense...

Gonna see Benny for the boots? If yes, tell him I said hi...and so far, love my new Tecnicas! (If he says, "Who's SheSkisTrees?" tell him 'your favorite kayaking companion at Marti's parties.' Then, you get to hear some stories. ) Also tell him the ski patrol director says her Langes feel a bit cramped so far and she's jealous of my Tecnicas (which he had her try on but she passed on them ).

Pizza...Pie in the Sky?

Woot! Comin' our way!

went from balmy into late afternoon - to violent rain and foggy windows everywhere...to some slushy frozen precip on my windshield at 6pm.

haven't checked back but NOAA was showing all snow through tuesday in the MRV...maybe this will be a good stretch after all - and at least bury some ice!

41` and pouring at the base of the Bush. Upper Village road experienced "spring thaw" this afternoon and rutted 6"- 9" in places. Hope it freezes before the concrete trucks arrive tomorrow morning.

Looks like the temperatures finally dropped in SoVt (33 at the base of Stratton). Comon snow.....!!!!!

rdennhs, wicked vid great track on it too. Huck to flat gets a cheer because I once was young and sproingy enough to do those on purpose and laugh about it, so now it's just killer to live vicariously through other nutbars launching to flat!!

TC way to keep the grom stoke going. All these minishreds will inherit the mountains eh.

buttah, a shred in the rain, way to go man! Beats sittin at a desk all day...

turnhigh, that was the trippiest thing I have read all day. DUDE! wHA//...

Made the best of the rain today. Walked down the street from my office in the gale to pick up a pair of blue-graphic Volkl Snow Rangers with worm screw metal 957s...one mount, no ptex repairs, great shape, for basically cheap beer $$. Been wanting a pair of these since I demoed some protos, finally added them to the quiver today. Be my skiing the grass, ice and rocks (i.e. MRG) ski and kid-trainers. So stoked!!

Actually hit 100 (103) on Manny today. WOOF.

That's outrageous. Straight up absurd.
The weather in Norwich has been impressively awful today with way too much ra*n for dec1, just as everywhere else I reckon. Windy bitch out there too...

Just changed over to snow here @ 1600 feet.

I had the scariest over easy ride ever today. alone, huge gust of wind grazed a tower. car had to be at least 25 degrees tilted.

EMS downtown did a great job mounting these planks for me and at a really great price!

The guy misquoted me on the phone and honored the price of $40 a pair. But the actually going rate is $80 a mount which is still highly competitive considering the prices at pgon ($125) and ski barn ($100) out in NJ. Its such a new shop too i'm positive one would be able to bargain the tech (Gavin) down from $80....

Except he wasn't cool bending my wide brake a little to get it around the new P4's which ill have to do myself (but also understand the liability factor there as well).

Now lets just prey this rain turns to snow so i can finally shred some turns!!

I work with Gavin at EMS, he's a solid dude for sure. I'll talk to the powers that be and see if I can get some wiggle room for a mag discount on mounts/tunes/etc.

Is Gavin the tech that was at the Light the Wick premiere? It sounded like their shop is coming together pretty well this season, I know they were kinda limited as far as base repairs in the past. Although hopefully I won't be needing any base welds this year

wow that's pricey for amount! i guess it's NYC prices though. still... one could make a nice living mounting skis apparently in NYC...

who in vt's changed over to snow?

Christ dude, $80? $100? $125!?! The shop I use in NH mounts my skis for $15 a pair.

major cities- mounts cost $80-100. it's ridiculous, but the cost of doing business and economics. DC, NY for sure, boston may be a bit cheaper (more ski shops up there).

definitely know the shop before you have any work done- a lot of hacks out there, especially in the flatlands.
