Thread: East Coast Roll Call V---> SO MUCH better then all the other roll calls

Smuggs I believe. Boring black jacket and drab green pants.

plows out this morning, not cuz of snow. 34 degrees at 4300 feet on george, 22 degrees down here in jackson. n smog tho so that's good

not very exciting here this morning as far as making schuss goes. i've been told that i have to go skinning at least, so i guess a walking we will go maybe. looks cold as fuck this weekend, good time to turn tail south. hopefully vt gets a good ole pummeling of snow wrap around style.

legs felt surprisingly good this morning after the first full day of playing gravity pilot in the bouncy pow. who ever said, "never get old" old roolz!

have fun y'all!

What's that drive? 3 hours?


Nothing new overnight, dripping eves had me worried, but no rain yet. Looking like late day and Sat. opening bell should be good.

JK Nice photo there, about 3/16 of a second too soon to get the full Praxis logo.

He knows where the good skiing is. Don't be all miffed he passing by the barren bush

Should be a good day to venture out some more. Things are really filling in. Skies are getting dark and spooky, maybe we might get a decent storm.

Grubbers- just pm or call if you are going. We'll meet up one of these days. Might be time soon to head back to our favorite pillow spot.

Bring it.

$39 Smuggs deal on Ruelala Boston

Nice work JPH. Looks like you squared away the Lhasas.

yup, that's right all of the above. beautiful morning skin up mildcat this am. the higher we went, the warmer it got. ski down was really nice soft cream cheese groomers, softer high, but plenty soft low. my partner skied a bunch of pow over hardly a base with light zipper crust in places and wide smile. i was more than happy to stay where my skis would only touch snow.

gonna be pretty interesting to see how warm/wet the snow gets before total lockup ensues. could be a loud weekend of turns if it gets too warm today.

off to work!

Its raining here in central NH (

Bolton only has 37 trails open.

Does that mean the on mtn. glades are not ready at the current time?

Sleet and hail is so much better than rain.

Hoping today and tonight's snow fills things in nice. Also hope the massive gaper surge doesn't screw the good lines up. Things might be okay but it's going to be tighter and more brush and rock than normal. We're still way under the usual safe snow pack for real skiing. If you head into the woods be safe and know where you're going. Take care of those pretty new Worth skis too, nobody want core shots day one. Maybe I'll see some of you on the hill in the morning, but I might be running stealth mode to preserve the pow.

I would say by tomorrow it will be good for first tracks and possibly longer, the base building snow from yesterday helped out a lot

Anyone skiing snow bowl tomorrow? Thinking about heading up. Also, I'll be coming up from Lowell, MA so 93>89 if anyone would want to split the drive.

According to Lionel that area will be the jackpot tonight.

4-6" as of 8am per Plattekill, another 4 expected today.

My hike on MTW looks nuts for sunday... -16 w/ 85mph winds.

even though it show's rain on the radar, right now. it's dumping here at work in Ludlow, VT.
woot!

Been snowing all day at smuggs, 4"+ on top of yesterday, trees were surprising filled in again. Hoping this keeps up.

I'd bring yer skins, don't think too much will be officially open. Should be $$ tho.
Glad to hear about those west winds yest, should be helping set up one zone I'm really lookin to checkout later this winter. yehaw!

Addit: Come to think of it, I bet Bailey's would be a real good bet... If bottledude and weasel haven't shralped it by then.

pkill looking much better than i expected, they are right at the southern edge of the blue blob. might be giving it a shot tomorrow if i can get out early.

People of the Bush, heading up solo in the morning for first chair and would love to not ski solo all all day long. Red Millet jacket / Khaki pants on Bros. Will have skins in case of wind business. Which leads to my first question, is there a base area which has a better chance of avoiding wind holds?

Also, If I stay in the area for the evening, where should I be going to watch the Pats game?

Any info appreciated. :gameon:

So I assume bailey's lift isn't open yet? So basically just ski bailey's area, skin to top of little peak, ride main lift, repeat?

Does the ski area mind people doing this?
