No Joke! We got dumped on up north, but still super light blower so be careful out there. It was just above my knees in my yard.. I couldnt help but to go up to Smuggs before work this morning. Was only able to get 2 runs in and now at work. I got a couple pics from 1st run and than my DSLR decided to stop working and gave me some gay error msg. SOOO PISSSED about that, but at least there is snow.. Might be time to upgrade to the 7D.. Cant wait to see what GP gets for shots today, assuming he got out.. My 2nd run we got some serious over head blower on some steeper terrain.... Its on people, get out there. Will post a couple pics in a bit.

Damn, save some for me guys ... Thursday can't come soon enough.

**radam** · 12-07-2010, 10:10 AM

^^^ talk about a fucking teaser! (or your camera is teh suck...)

Seriously though... there's not a single flake on the ground here, so i'm stoked to see that it is, in fact, snowing elsewhere. Looking forward to more pics later!

I think those days are over, light dyna set up from here on out.

Winter storm warning in effect until 4pm 4-6 more inches expected for franklin, chittenden, and addison counties, including towns of ripton, enosburg falls, and underhill. Ullr took a serious laxative, heading up to bread loaf to snow shoe around, wife is skiing.

When the time comes I would enjoy sharing a skin track/turns/beers.

Classic upslope, just laid down another layer on the rink, scraped off only 5 inches, always amazing to see reports from one side of the range compared to the other

step 1 complete. now just need the next storm to come in white, wet, and heavy.

nice pic john!

**anthonyd** · 12-07-2010, 10:16 AM

you should have done a better job convincing me. i hadnt been on the board so i had no idea snow was happening all over the place. my head space has been carving around on my longboard damning the cold.

Cold and smokey in the predawn hours on Mansfield..

We got out there alright, I took 3 runs and had to get to work, G and Ben will be up there all day. It was a magnificent morning - can't wipe the powder grin off my face. Oh and get the 7D

it will be worth it.

Nice turns, but WTF is up with that video quality? Was that shot on a cellphone from 2001??

looks like Magic Monday led to Tittyballs Tuesday, Thanks LH!

**Viva Borracho** · 12-07-2010, 11:00 AM

Decisions, Decisions - I am heading up this weekend, but undecided where to go.

Sugarbush is claiming 12 inches, but very few trails open. Anyone have the inside scoop on what they are planning to open for the weekend?

dave, maybe you should be spending more time at work and a little less time on the hill so you can afford a higher interweb quality lifestyle

**lionelhutz** · 12-07-2010, 11:32 AM

Honestly- this was one of the clearest Upslope events I've seen. NO DOUBTs that it was going to go off. I said feet by the end of the week and I meant it. This was classic all the way. Lower level lift, deep moisture, cyclonic flow. good lapse rates...all of it...just great event.

Too bad it's going to rain next monday. (Kidding. Kinda. Maybe not).

You were in an Accident???? Was there more than one trail open...i don't mind driving the hour and half ,makes more sense to test out body than drive 5 to find out i am not ready yet........let me know when your ready for a road trip....

NICE! I look forward to his trip report..I need to contact him this evening to talk about some stuff also.

Here are a couple before my camera died...

Ok back to work....

**arewolfe** · 12-07-2010, 12:22 PM

Careful out there folks, this stuff is retarded light and everything underneath is rock hard. I skied directly into a rock pile going about 15 mph and double eject cartwheeled into another pile of rocks. Smashed both kneecaps and sprained the hell out of my thumb. At the exact same time a co-worker of mine clipped a snow snake on the edge of Timbuktu and cartwheeled into a very large rock and broke his arm. Sled evac and taken away in an ambulance.

This is the lightest snow I've ever skied. Today was the first time I actually choked on snow while making turns. It took skiing into a 4 foot drift on a low angle section to stop me. But yeah, super sketchy. Since it's so dry and windblown you really can't judge depth or dangerous debris underneath, there are no contours to help you gauge what you're skiing into. Some sections were 2" and others were pushing 3 feet.

**atkinsonvt** · 12-07-2010, 12:38 PM

Do not watch unless prepared for extreme jealousy.

**alev** · 12-07-2010, 12:41 PM

the lightest snow ive ever skied on top of nothing at stowe....needless to say it made for an incredibly fun day. too bad there is still no base

This kind of snow was not enough to open a new trail that wasnt already open or going to open. This snow is super super light.
