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

See you 0dark:30 game on

TC, nice to see you guys got your demos in and good snow to break them in on, they look sweet.

I'll be there early and will catch up with you at some point in the morning...my guess is we will be poking around in some of the same spots.

Nice to see everyone is finally getting some. Tomorrow should be sweet for sure.

Thanks again for showing me around today TC. Good times!

No rain at smuggs at all today so even lower mountain glades were skiing creamy. I would think tomorrow is going to be silly and great day to explore around with this base. Wouldnt be suprised if there is 2 feet tomorrow at the pace today and how hard it is going now.

Smuggs was so much fun today. Great trails and great company. Ullr unleashed white fury on the drive to Burlington. Best day of hookie I've ever had. Headed to Bolton tomorrow with the lady and hoping its a lonely mountain some how on a holiday weekend powder day...

Just so dissapointed I'm looking to solidify the claim.

Anyways, I buy one pass a year and ski within the pass regardless... Last year was Stratton/Okemo/Sunnappe or bust.
This year it's Cannon or bust. I'm Ok with it being my only option, even though it sounds like other places got it better.. It's the only way I can afford next season's pass.

Skied cannon all day friday. no rain, bursts of snow and got about 2-4. got nice and creamy up top by end of day.

Magic was fun this morning. 5 am wakeup to 6:30 skintrack to Redline first tracks to 9 AM First chair and pretty much skiing fresh tracks all day. SWEET




Some dawn patrol goodness from Magic this AM, very thin but VERY fun




Playing around with an over the shoulder mount, needs more work to get completely dialed in

91 in VT was worse than I've ever seen it tonight. I was warned about the massive accident on 30 so I stayed on 95 all the way to Rockingham and it took FOREVER. Almost 3.5 hours from the VT border to the Magic Access Rd.

The good news is there is a solid foot of snow on the ground that wasn't here when I left on Sunday. Psyched for some soft snow tomorrow - Magic's gonna be fun.

well so much for this powder day, just leaving Boston on 93 and my hood blows up smashing my windshield.

Next time Bush mags, thanks again for all your input thus far.

Swede, that is scary looking. Sorry for you to miss the pow-pow. First Eug taking his car to the shop on a Friday and an unlatched hood for you. Boston Mags 0 Cars 2.

My trip to town and back was filled with fun encounters with snow tireless chumps. Cars sitting sideways on hills they could not climb, car way off on wrong side of road after they slid back down after a failed attempt and the classic spinning up the hill at .3 mph in the middle of the road and the car coming up behind them starting to go around till they realize my 7k lb. of truck is not stopping.

Going out early I guess, red Marmot, change on helmet, DPS Wailer 105

13.8` and what looks like 6 3/4" fresh, some blower falling right now and can hear the wind up high, though it is calm down low right now

Dumping blower pow still here. On the skin track in 5

Temp down to 9` now. Light snow still falling.

I am there in spirit brother! Enjoy this day boys and girls it has been a long time coming. Hoping to hear of bottomless pow and that the woods are in! Get some. Oh, and pics please - you know for the home bound. Take pity.

Yikes. Glad you are OK and nothing worse came of it. Sure that woke you up. Scary.

Get after it, guys! Sitting in my hotel in Seattle after driving all over the state this week in search of powder. Yesterday we checked out the Boeing factory tour - interesting, but not really how you envision spending a ski vacation. Finally I'm heading to Alpental this afternoon to catch the beginning of the large storm cycle that's starting as I head back home tomorrow.
/blog, carry on with the EC stoke.

Oh, we did find some pow...

We owe you one, Crank. Alpental is pretty amazing, though. Hope you get some, but I'll give you $50 to stay another week...


Swede, that's scary stuff. If I was headed up, I'd give you and Eug a lift.

Waiting for pics to make me jealous and nauseous about missing it, too.

This is a fucked up weekend as far as cars go...

Smuggler's from 1/13/12. After skiing icy Sunapee groomers all season, it sure felt deep .

Should be awesome out there today!

Long day yesterday, back on the seacoast today for some strange reason. Enjoy!

I have an older DHX air, and I have fox coil so I will be between the two. I got this frame as a crash replacement deal. I had a first generation nomad that one of the welds started to crack, bought it used, rode it hard for four seasons, and santa cruz gave me this frame without shock at cost. Syked they did that for me as I loved my old nomad, and before that had a heckler. I usually remain brand loyal, and this deal will keep me going back to SC.
Santa Cruz =

Dammit I got hosed the weekend. My ride and friends bail on me at 11 last night. Oh well get after it. It looks like this will set up a nice base to finally get the season started.

Very nice!! Are you using some sort of track or something for some of those dslr shots? Either way, very nice lookin stuff.

Just got done skiing with TC. We slayed some pow for sure. Pics to come later from TC. OB stuff is filling in nicely. When in doubt get to higher elevations but beware of open water still.


Fighting gravity on a daily basis

Well, I didn't have actual car problems like some of the other Boston mags, just no car. I'm starting to realize that one car in the family is not the way to go. Have fun everyone.

Nice edit as always, RD. Might want to consider angling up the helmet mount on the GoPro for the guy with JJ's though. I found that for mine I needed to angle it up more than I thought to avoid it looking at my feet when skiing.

MRG looks to be filling in nicely!
