That's an even trade though, right?


If this season had a face, I'd put a two-hander clean through it.

Dude. Call me. I got a suby guy. Actually f it. I'll call you.

Jay great this morning now starting to mank out at the bottom. Pics later. Thanks Ullr.

If you want to go tomorrow, I'm thinking of heading up and would pick you up on the way. I'm less sure about Friday. I have something that I should really go to, but the draw of real snow is strong...

a) The auto road is open for car shuttle laps
b) They install a chairlift
c) Someone can arrange to have me transported uphill by heli or snowcat.

Wouldn't that be fun. Hahaha, ooh the purists / nature huggers are freaking out right now! Too bad the winds are as they are otherwise maybe there would already be lifts on the mtn. No place like it.

This weekend up there is going to go off. Informing the wife as we speak. I'll let you know how that goes!

DoWork your season and mine are identical - always something getting in the way! Looks like mother nature is giving this season a second chance. Jump on it. I know I am. I owe you beers! Hope to catch up and talk about helping out at Magic this spring/summer/fall.

Enjoy the pow boys and girls.

I entered a video I made from the big powder weekend we had in February in Stowe's East Coast Supershoot.

Up and at em early for the snow

Pointing for Bucket



The snow is deep, I like-a the snow





Looks like winter to me







Gotta get to work, bull and jam bitch




Measured out at 25 13/16", Glad I got the day right and had it penciled in.

Surfy is an apt description of the surface, manky as fuck down realy low. Would have been a great day for some RR boards.


KT nice to see you out.

DoWork, sorry about your car, hope your bike season goes better. Little song for you

^^^For the win! Well played VT-free. Remember it is the quality not the quantity! Sweet.

^^^ right on my friend, that looks absolutely ridiculous. hee haw stoke to boot!

...and very nice work as well with the too-cool-to-look-towards-the-camera point shot i developed after much researchand beta testing
(funny, i actually saw a pic of a celeb somewhere using same...i forgot who it was or i'd sue and retire and move to the mtns)

so giddy and hyper i have to force myself to eat!

hope i can sleep tonite!

YOW!!!

12-24 inches of snow in 24 hours at stowe. Needlessly to say I had to ski it.

Dumping at the top of the mountain yesterday afternoon.



Alex was stoked to be on top an hour after we started. I am happy the lifts are not running since its limiting how fast the mountain gets skied out.



Hayride was the first choice of today and was really sweet surfy bottomless heavy powder



unofficial snow measuring stick



Alex on the waterfall pitch of hayride.



Impossible to hit anything when your only skiing the top 5 inches



Next up Starr, which was bare to the grass and rocks 3 days ago.



Lots of snow up here



My turn to ski for the camera dropping into the upper starr headwall with a nice McConkey turn



Deep stuff



Stowked!



snow was starting to become sun affected and heavy and will not be melting but the best skiing was prior to 10 am this morning. Corn skiing should be great this weekend.

NOICE!!!!!

A little weather window.


So buoyant. You could pretty much ski with impunity. I even jumped into the woods at the bottom of Fall Line. Clean.

Nice pics everyone! More coming tonight and tomorrow?

damn! i'm getting the shakes here at my desk!

wish i hadn't eaten after all

i need to call out sick

jay opening powerline....sounds like an accident waiting to happen! Enjoy the snow.

Holy shit snow!
I'm in for Kmart on Friday. Just gotta be outta there early (1:30ish).
Bucket, Pearljam, DoWork - You guys all heading up?
I may have some BOGOs laying around. I'll check into it.

Edit: Nope. Just 4 BOGOs to Jay, Smuggs, Pico, Ski Bowl, and Magic.

I can't, have a massive list of deliveries to make tomorrow. I SO wish, but Friday is the earliest I can get my ass up there.

Yep, that's just how the cookie is crumbling, but whatever I guess- it could be much worse I guess- just incredibly frustrating. Before I forget again, wanna pm me your shipping addy? When I was moving everyone's shit out of the apt I found something I'd like to get back to Tuckerman.

The gixxer is gone forever. Had to let 'er go unfortunately. It's all pedal power for me this year if I'm on two wheels.

I think PJ might have to move out of his place this weekend, but I believe JGB and I will be heading up for Thursday night to ski Friday and I feel like you couldn't keep Bucket away with road blocks, locusts or scorned women so I'm planning on seeing him there . Also, is there anyone heading back down 91 from that area on Sunday? Don't have a ride home later than Saturday a.m. as things look now so figured I'd put that out there... Would love to go for a skin or something while it's still here, y'know?

Hey East Coast folks, I'm going to spam your thread this one time. TGR has pulled together some sweet prizes for a contest by the maggots ,for the maggots:

http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ot-POV-Contest

We want to do it again next year, but we really need participation from all of you guys this year to get it off the ground. This season's contest is not limited to footage from this year- go back into your archives and pull out your sickest stuff. Or best beaters

No!? He did not shit, piss, or puke? Did he? Sorry.

Anyone going to be at Jay Saturday?

These skis (pictures taken by TheRudeness last year at Burke) will be making an appearance for Jay's pond skimming Saturday.



http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ng#post3232117

I will be on them this year


Note: last year one of the rear bindings broke (didn't rip out). New betterer bindings have been installed for this year along with metal edges and a plastic base.

what? no middle binding mount for skiing 'em solo??

We're going to be heading back from the Burlington area (visiting the folks) Sunday night; 89 exit 11 to 91 exit 5or 6 in VT if that helps.. text me if you need a ride though.. skinning smuggs Sat am, then have a surprise 30th b-day to throw at my folks place for the wifey sat night.

Jay today: slushy snow down low... very elevation-dependent snowfall indeed!! I skinned up some before lifts turned, but my stomach was turning so i didn't go to the top.

my hands were too wet and cold to take much pix. I like that surfy snow, all it needed was a little more icing sugar on top of the creamcheese...

Peeps were in the woods; even where no base was left the snow covered well. Ullr's bowl was all re-opened and awesome. I didn't make it over to Stateside so no idea what that was like, and summit was in the Cloud all morning.

Hope more winter comes again.

Glad to see its snowing back here in VT as well. And great stoke from all as usual!


I just got back from 3 days of having my mind blown camping and hutting in the Chic Chocs, place is a BC skier's paradise. Its an annual trip from here on out. Was with ML242, NJ freeskier, Treewelldweller, I've seen Black Diamonds. Puked blower for the last day and a half with classic Nor Easter winds with about 18" piling up, and still dumping when we left.

ML242 is doing a TR and he is still up there but here are a few pics to keep the stoke train rolling. We got to tour all the areas we set out to, Mt Lyall, Mt Albert, and the Madeline Mines area ( which is akin to 8 mt washingtons in one huge ridgeline cirque), but winds and new snow loading on a spring crust was not yielding any of the more committing stuff we would have liked to ski. But we got some awesome terrain and did some serious recon work with Stephan from Ski Chic Chocs, the best guide you could ask for.

Heading out our first morning.


Treewelldweller and I got their early so our first Day objective was this, it was a little grippy with only a few inches new, but it kept snowing




randoms shots in no order









we skied the trees off the skier's left of the summit here, only real steep stuff we got into. Their snow pack took a beating as well sharing with us in an equally sup par winter.








train bound for pow land







I plan on getting out tomorrow for a couple of laps hopefully some refreshing.
