OMG OMG OMG, luckily for me L8APX and the crew from High Adventure doesn't like to break trail so when I had the chance to hop out of my car and snag 1st tracks down the main line, I JUMP IN IT.

More like luckly for us you were so amped you shot out of your car and set a nice track. We weren't being lazy homie....

Great to see everyone killin it in October.

Like Moeghoul, went with the Poconos for some turns for proximity reasons. Blue Mountain skied surprisingly well late into the day, consistent 8-10 inches of cream cheese.

Nicely done everybody!

Great day.

patrol? you saw patrol??
agreed, plus they must have realized the skiers would do a better job grooming than their costly equipment&crews.
amazing day.
props to kmart for doing it right.

nice platty shots...and everywhere else!
Will have to head to plat this season for sure. Thanks for the nudge

Sprite

Man.. hard to believe there's this much stoke flowing and it's not even November yet!

Awesome pics all around! Sorry to the platty crew for bailing, when I went to bed Sat night, the best information I had was that they didn't get that much snow and I missed ML's post in the morning that the opposite was true.

Had a fun day at Kmart with PJ09 and scarlet begonias and got to meet a few other mags along the way. Only bad part of the day was that someone must have overshot the trash can in the lodge and I ended up with a half-full cup of honey mustard in my boot bag.

Temps look good all week, Killington should be a go for next weekend. Stoked!!

Yesterday was awesome til the patsy game. First time I have skied the Beast(not k-mart) in october.

Laser, that place looks busier than when it was open!

Wow, these pictures make me wish I could have traveled south for the weekend. Nice work everyone. However, despite the meager snowfall up north, there was still some fun to be had.

SCORE I managed to troll L8APx out of lurking!!! :-).

Totally joking dude. I run so hot while going uphill I dress light and that parking lot is FREEZING so I don't like standing around

In any event great to ski with you guys!!!

Lookin good, Blue was my first choice but we decided Mt. Pocono got more snow, looks like Blue got a decent amount.

it just keeps getting MORE surreal

Awesome shreddage all!! and great crew yesterday at Sunapee. Sorry we did not connect powbmps, next time.

Morgan those pics are silly, We thought about the beast for a bit yesterday since steepness was needed for this snow. Let me know when you are coming up north dude!

good to see l8px hanging up the fly rod for a day and getting some snow

We joked that it was busier then the Wasangles in Utah. Honestly there must have been 20-25 people there

Wow, so many great shots. Very cool that plattekill spun lifts for the day.

Made it to BEast around 230pm. Easily 2' deep and HEAVY, would have been nice to get there before it warmed up but that was just not possible.

Had no power or cell service where I stayed saturday evening. When we woke up my car was literally in the only safe spot in the driveway. Downed trees totally surrounding it. Used a hack saw and loppers to clear all but the biggest tree blocking the driveway. Finally found a neighbor will a function chain saw around noon to escape. Was driving under downed trees on the road.

(will update later with pics)

Sheesh, I saw you guys. It was great to ski in Oct, but the conditions were a bit "crust on dust" -- Ridge was probably the best thing I hit being shielded by the trees. Would I do it again? Hell yeah.

I've never been much for the "change for a $0.05" thing but I guess I'll start. (I was in a gray shell and blue softie pants FWIW.)

Thanks, its an old set of bamboos I found at a tag sale this year.

TC nice to see you in good health and killing it, I'm about 3 months away from "being able to ski" so I have to keep it throttled down, at least til after x-mas. But when I heading north, I will give you a holler.

Ha^^^ I would definitely not say killing it AT ALL. But skiing again at least with a garbage can of a knee. My skiing has a surgically implanted governor on it, similar to you, so I am pretty tame these days. But I have this cool new dog that likes to check your speed for you when you least expect it

let me know, you dudes are welcome to crash anytime.

As somebody whose lower leg is also currently in the shit can I totally appreciate where you are coming from.

I will and thanks for the offer.

My dog is the same way, except she is barking for some reason, so you know when she is coming.
