well if yer sticking to northern vt, yer only getting some of the storms. i live on the seacoast of nh and will drive in any direction to hit storms and many of em stay south (sunapee is great in these storms) or east of northern vt. i do skip work on no notice to hit storms and am a mid week warrior.

if it ain't dumping, i'm touring, and often even if it is dumping, i'm touring up high. i also will leave newmarket at 2-3am ona storm day, skin untracked for a couple of hours till 1st chair, ski till noon or 1 and head back to the coast for second shift.

keep me in mind for mid week pow assaults.

My brother is looking for a bike too, I was going to post. Hopefully early 80s or newer, any asian standard would work at around 500cc. We'll be up cruising VT craigslist (for the bike) the weekend of ullrfest. Anyone know someone selling?

This all sounds great. Marvin is a girls name in Canada, right?

Hey Greg,

I used the button out of total laziness for the calendars. Nice work, even if I owe you and BD about 35 cents each. I think I might give it to my dad hoping that it will inspire him to pickup a ski wider than 68mm.

Yeah, but most women from that part of Canada, look like most Marvins in the states.

"fkn rockets" Only a "250"

I had a 75 400/4 supersport in 80 , was one awesome ride. It is on my list of classics I would like to pick up. Saw a blue one with 1200 original miles, unmolested this July go for $2400.

i would not have expected that to be a 250- i see there is even a 125 version- sheeeeit- my 1964 vespa has more displacement than that! ........ well, i guess something tells me the aprilia might be just a little faster.

just missed a nice red 75 400F near me on ebay, went for like 1600$ 'tis the season.

October turns are a must, and I can't remember a recent season without them. Usually, though, we're talking the last week, not the first!

October turns? That means I'll be skiing this month. Is there any sign on snow up north yet?

Oh don't get me wrong...I don't think we're close to turns...I just like what I see out of the large scale patterns for october. Mind you nothing could materialize by the time the month is out, but I would be surprised by that.

I do. A thin white lubricating layer on the grass and the junkboards come out.

"The cold front will push the low out this evening allowing steadier rain to taper and become a mix of freezing and frozen precipitation types after midnight as temperatures drop to below freezing. Accumulations of snow and ice, as of this morning, look to be light but this will dependant on the timing of a secondary low that will be moving north along the front this afternoon. But most models have this passage occurring to our east so snow or ice should be less than an inch"

Simple rules:
1. Photo's must be of terrain that is "inbounds" somewhere in the US
2. The poster must have taken the photo, is in it, or was there when it was taken
3. Points are awarded for place name, run name, feature name or other notable identifying detail, technology hack used to pinpoint lat/long.

Come on, everyone, dig though your archives and try to stump the mags.

I'll kick it off with this:


Here's a hint: It isn't Vermont

not vermont eh? damn.

i couldn't even guess, but will throw out a kirkwood just for fun.

where is i? i know, not "inbounds", and not vermont.



easy one. i will say that what i was about to ski was completely smooth and untracked. wouldn't have it any other way. once it's got a track, i ain't goin back. utah spoiled me.

I'll play George, stoked to see you posting and back on the board. I live close by now. Lost your number of course.

That is Big Sky. I think?

Rog, that looks like the west side of magic to me

We all know rog will get this one




these are inbounds

Hmmm. That's looking like springtime on the rockpile, icelanticskier. Say, the top of Central?

Woohoo, TC! You've got me on the first two (definitely yootar in #2), but pic #3 is a no brainer. Here's a shot of me dropping off the shoulder into the exact same little chute. I won't spoil the challenge for others by saying where it is:



BTW, nope, my first post isn't at Big Sky but you're in the right state.

2 are west and 1 is EC. It would be excellent to see you at Ullr Fest.

Looked like montana mountains, so gots to be MLB or Bridger then.

TC... number 2 looks like Squaw to me... definitely Tahoe? #3 Altabird?

I'm in VT doing some preparation for the fest... lighting, pig pit relocation, etc.

The good news is, all the new grading worked like a charm... no more big puddles by the tent. The bad news is, the generator pit still floods... oh well. Hopefully this rain was the big one and we will have good weather the 16th!

^^^^ you got it Big D, Alpine, key hole chutes in the 2nd, and chamonix chutes at the bird in the last one.

I was going to come help today with VTfree, but I got a nasty head cold and have been moaning all day. But if you need help again let me know

cruised up to Franconia this afternoon. parked at the airport.
the gliders were lined up out there today.


pretty dry actually, considering how much rain we saw yesterday.




late afternoon Cannon Mt. with one of the oldest ski trails in the country. the CCC cut the Tucker Brook Trail in the 30's, center right. tram tower and top shack in distance


gliders coming in at the end of the ride. Tucker Brook far left

happy October, i love harvest season Cannon Balls with gliders.

No worries... VTF and I moved the pit no problem (well... mostly VTF, as I pretended to be on the phone, while he worked).

Yesterday was a beauty, we're hoping for a repeat in two weeks. Getting all the ducks lined up.

looks like it to me. looks nice. although the lean in and axe use make it look steeper than it is. unless it's somewhere else.........
