They can always score, and only have 2 teeth?

doh! not at the belfry!

I don't mind a WROD. It's the crowd that ruins it for me. I think, at this point, I'd prefer hike or cross country skiing to a crowded resort day on manmade snow. I don't leave the city to hang out in a crowd.

That said, I'm ready to at least get some skinning workouts in, even if it means heading up the edges or groomers. With many resorts opening in the next week or so finding a place for early season skinning can be tough. I'd like to compile a list of resorts that allow uphill traffic. Legs need to be ready to take advantage of the powder when it comes.

Magic allows uphill traffic. Are any other EC resorts as accommodating?

Damn it needs to snow, if for no other reason than this thread is too filled with rabble rabble rabble stash rabble rabble wrod rabble rabble.........
Can't everyone just chill the hell out


In the name of chill, I offer some stoke:





And some from the east

Go eat some granola, hippy.

(just kidding, I agree, we all need to ski)

Haha, I love me my granola... Standard ski season lunch fare tends to be a granola, peanut butter / nutella and jam wrap. I know, I know, it sounds crazy and absurd, but it's good and chock full of protein - good for those long uphill days.

Although no snow at the moment...Plattekill does

God, we're all just a little bit mean. I'm frustrated. I hate work. And I am absolutely certain it's because I have not skied and the weather isn't changing. I am pretty sure, it hasn't gotten below freezing yet in Boston. It's driving me insane.

To borrow a quote from one of my favorite movies: "Wow, all that testosterone has made you mean!"

We gotta go ski and get some current stoke.

edit: not from East Coast. None of my east coast stoke is worth a shit. Hopefully that'll change this winter.

Agreed at least for this time of year and coverage, plus i promised myself i would never give Killington any of my money after they took away my life time pass.

Here is some more to add to the stoke.

Hahaha... I know dude, I was actually just kidding because I was pretty sure you were kidding too. I sorta agree with you after all! Nobody wants to ski in a crowd- me least of all (I HATE crowds more than anything!)- but at this point, I feel like it's been so long I'm ready to bang the fat girl and I'm done with being too cool for crowd/WROD (cwrod?) (actually I just finished up all the work I allotted for myself) and just want to get blitzed while I ride a lift with my friends and slide on something snow-like, periocidally hammering my skis over bare sharp rocks (if at all possible) because I love to do that.


This whole page all leads back to the "we all need to ski" concept. Which is what I'm trying to do, even if it she IS fat.

After I laughed I wonder, are you just realizing that?

I'll ride on the stoke wagon...

[/QUOTE]

FKNA! That shit's secret, now you blew our stash.

some more NWROD pics

excellent wagon to be on!

what is everyone schralping on? when i was in VT for school, I rocked a dynastar legend 8800 with fritschi freerides, 168 length. Was perfect for Jay. I unloaded them last year while in Utah and spent all of last season on the super 7. The thing rips and was my one ski quiver out there. As much as I would love to whip that thing on the east (and I prob will) i feel like its physically too long to navigate jay trees (not the smoking kind you hippies) and the like. i'm thinking a shorter s7 w/ a touring binding? maybe the sultan 94 or whatever? i like rocker, camber, and balls (in the gayest way possible)...thoughts?

No. just fuckin around, some people aren't good at it though.

the funny part is I will be riding the WROD next week, but its only 10 miles away and only mindnumbing after an hour or two, its a strange phenomenon the WROD skiing, you tell yourself how bad it is on the car ride over, you shake your head getting your boots on in the parking lot knowing it will suck, you hate standing in line, you curse the "snow" they blew out of a hose and always comment on how they fuck it up more every year, and yet you can't stop going

gotta go, one of the sheep just took off!

My quiver is:
• 178 (rockered) Gotamas with Barrons (don't need the 15 DIN of the dukes)
• 178 older Head Monsters
• 175 BD Killowatts with 7TMs for the tele setup.

There's also the really old Volkl G3s and the older tele setup, the K2 World Piste... But those are rock skis at this point.


I only got the Gotamas last year and I've been nothing short of impressed by them. They seem to perform well in pretty much any conditions I've taken them out, short of ice bumps. But really, what skis do well in ice bumps?... I could probably have gone longer, but I like being able to swing my skis around on a dime in the tight woods of the NE. The only downfall of this setup is that it's HEAVY. REALLY REALLY HEAVY. But I guess it makes me strong.

The Monsters are a bit thinner underfoot than I'd like (88), but they're a great standby for most of everything. Although they're a few years old, I still love 'em.

I've really been digging the new tele setup that I've got. The Killowatts, although not the prettiest ski, are so much fun! The 7TM binders are great, although switching from tour -> ski (or vice versa) can be a pain if there's snow/ice in the binders. Still, I really dig this setup, esepcially as it's a nice counterpoint to the heavy touring setup of the goats/barrons.
