Hey man, glad you had a blast and sorry I had to take off, got roped into moving snow guns around with the Ops Crew. Next time hopefully we'll have some more snow and be able to explore more!
Akok/TC congrats guys, that's a great pic and it's always nice to see familiar faces taking over awesome places
Also, Rdhenns, you are one artsy editor. Nice work man, I usually get bored and stop watching when people make you watch nothing happen for a while but your use of the dolly and creative focus/cuts keeps me totally interested. Keep up the great work man!
Tons of great stuff in here to keep me from focusing on actual work despite this shithole weather continuously trying to kill my stokeboner. LOVIN IT! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

Assuming I can find some skins for my 12yr old by this weekend, anyone have any suggestions for his first skin/ski? Somewhere besides a ski resort. Cog or the Sherburne maybe? We are a little far from N. central VT for a day trip, so was thinking MWV area maybe. After watching Rdennhs vid now thinking maybe mittersill (great edit btw). Not enough snow after this weeks weather?
Anyone have any skins they want to get rid of that I can cut down to fit a 139 Mantra jr??on the send bus to gnar town

I'd skip mittersill until another sizeable storm rolls through. I didn't go over, but a friend of a friend went in on Saturday; he said it was great but definitely did some damage to his skis. Might be worth it, you never know till you're there. Be good to hear first hand what's going on over there.

First skin I would go for the Sherby or somewhere that you can get out of quickly. Take him up into the base of the bowl just so he can see the Gnar. Another fun first "BC" experience is to go off the back of Wildcat into the Jackson CC trails. No skinning required. How long of a skin are you looking for? I have some other suggestions, but they are longer. PM me for details.

I saw the pictures. Does that count for remembering? I remember thinking wtf am I doing at work today. A good ole optimization is always in order where VT weather is concerned. It's easy to get a bit disgruntled from time to time in these parts...especially when missing powder turns for a shit paying, thankless job that's going to make me look more like Jerry than "that guy from the hangover" as the kids like to call me. Keep up the optimizing and I'll see you in lot 1.

now your making me feel lousy, I was just busting balls. I will say it so we can all rejoice in unison " this winter sucks... a whole fucking lot", so trying to make myself believe its better than it is is almost working, I am a pretty good at bull shitting(optimizing) myself. Better off turning kids away from the streets then skiing dust on crust. Wait for a real storm to jeopardize their futures
Neufox- that would be stellar, let me know. I have another possible avenue as well, thanks beef chalupa.

Yeah, the hakka's are what I was eyeing in the 29" size (all I could find for 29" studs actually). I have used 26" Kenda's the past several seasons, and it's just silly fun on icy trails. Exposed rock faces, not so much.
Got out again yesterday on the new MTB, really really liking it!
Hey, I think it's like January or something, it would be cool if it would snow so we could ski and stuff.

studded tires on winter trails, so much fun
though another warm day here, may not need the studs so much...

Not to interrupt the bike talk channel but I wanted to post this for +vibes+... a Hunter snowmaker passed away last week after a fall. Those guys are so fucking nice, and I always give them a wave and thanks for the hard work they do there... It's just the worst news and really kind of freaky.

Mittersill is looking really bare....some areas had some blown in stuff on Monday but it was getting real grassy and rocky....we need a big snow.

i think that's probably really good news as far as knees go.. just stretch it (once it's not so sore) and using a foam roller really helps too.
