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

Thanks NMBRD, I'm just glad someone saw it. With all the backbiting and the avalanche of stoke that is to come, I'd figured it would get lost in the shuffle.

anyone wanna go for a george tour tomorrow? nothing specific planned. looks like temps/wind will be tolerable. will start from the east side most likely for more options and wind protection.

lynchy?

Sounds fun Rog but I am in Maryland with wifey and kids visiting the in-laws. Be back on Wed. Will be looking for leftovers Thurs/Friday. Possibly do something next Sunday? Enjoy.

Need bluebird pow pics after the feasting is done!

thursday friday could be REALLY good now that there's good base for any additional to fall on. sunday's a possibility!

Talk about adding insult to injury - sprained MCL, business trip takes me to "There's a hole in the world like a great black pit" London, and V-tah gets nukeage.

Just ain't fair.

Keep the reports coming, all. I'm ripping it vicariously through every one of them!

No more bitching please, gotta save room for stoke.

I enjoyed the DK edit and leaving the crash in.

Out early with the Padawans and Michael, Unfortunately Eli crashed on the runout under the chair belows Steins and is currently in surgury getting his shoulder pinned.

His brother and I could not help him so we skied.

Young Jedi Arron enjoying some pow pow.




In the white room with black curtains at the station.....

Here are a few from yesterday before 7:30 am

WOOT WOOT! Highanxiety fucking killing it, makes me smile...

Today was too good. 46" reported in 36 hours. Blower, blue bird, and cold as hell. One of the deepest vt pow days I can remember. landscapes totally changed from 6 ft wind mounds everywhere making route finding tricky. But hiking paid off. Some stoke was taken. I am sure the pics will start soon.

Hey Rog, were you riding (MTB) in the Fells today by any chance?

Sorry to hear. See any evidence of snow leopard activity?

Such an amazing day at MRG skied from 830-4. FOund some wind drifts that were 2-3 feet.

No pics from Loon, too busy to shoot. Storm opened woods and black mtn for first rides, soooo nice to be back in the trees....

While playing in the winter woods do any of you sport knee-shin pads under your ski pants?

OMFG, I haven't had two days that deep back to back.....well maybe ever. So many deep turns, still skied untracked lines right up until closing. I have a few pics to post later.


WhiteRoom skis did not disappoint either, thisbe were the conditions they were designed for...

VT crews, bring the stoke...

Good, save for two flats and one spare tube; oh, and also having just gotten back from a family visit in DC for the duration of this entire storm cycle- I could have told you this storm would hit when I booked the plane ticket 6 weeks ago. C'est la vie.

Anyhow, I chatted briefly with a pair of rigid single-speeders in vintage Spyder padded sweaters today in the Fells and thought maybe you were one of 'em...

I'm gonna start a NE thread in Sprockets shortly and take MTB talk over there since winter has miraculously returned and stoke is rolling in on the regular. Sorry for the dirt interlude folks, pack to pow.

Glades could definatley use more snow though and after a few small rock shots I decided Mitersill wasn't gonna be worth it (and it was "closed") without knowing my way around. Plenty of tracks going in that direction though.

First run down Cannonball right next to the lift line was amazing, every other turn was a faceshot and I had a good time spraying the people on the lift. Snow that's light enough to be shot in the air this year, who da thunk?!

With the wind and traffic things got a icier by about 1 but still a good day. I set my expectations so low I didn't even bring the gopro, maybe that's the key to getting good snow? Pretty jealous I didn't get to N.VT, 4 ft in 2 days at smuggs? Is it true?

Global warming glade:

Great report/ right on target.
My opinion is they got a solid 4.

Mittersill still unfortunately not ready to be ridden.



Can't wait to see what comes out of the NEK.
Haven't heard anything about Sugarloaf. How'd they do?

Jesum crow, Stowe was amazing all weekend. So much fucking powder and trees. Pics later.

Sent from my DROIDX using TGR Forums

a couple good snaps

a buddy on WhiteRoom BOSS 318

A few more





These really don't do it justice. maybe TC and HA will have some better stuff

No doubt it was the deepest day of the year on the east coast but where, mr cover, are you getting your numbers? I think your math is fuzzy

Today was unreal for sure.... Little confused, I left Japan right? Will try and get a couple shots up later, but right now need a couple more beers to work down my pow buzz. Bluebird, blower, pow day, does that happen here? Drooling at the tracks on the North Ridge of Manny today. Looked so sweet in the sunlight. Looking forward to GP shots if he was out which i am sure he was. Hope he was up there for sunrise, which looked sweet from Jeffersonville.

If you were at Jay either day this weekend and didn't have a shit-eating grin on your face the entire time, then you should pick up a different sport.

So. Much. Damn. Fun.

So wish I had been at Stowe or Jay this weekend. Really hoping this event for Wed/Thurs comes through... not much Winter in view after that.

Good stoke, all!

Nice pics Vin!!! Great to see those Whiterooms in their natural habitat! :-)
