Thread: TR: 24 hours

Sandy wreaks Havoc. Fortunately, we were spared here in VT this time. But it was 45, pissing rain and windy and winter seemed to be far off still. Reports started to roll in of record snow fall in the high plateau hills of the mid atlantic appalachians. So the notion of driving 25 hours for 24 hours of human powered storm skiing in West Va seemed to be gaining approval from friends, jokingly at first, but then the momentum "snowballed" and the trigger was pulled for a Snovember adventure.

Resident Guest Appearance by: Scottyb

First I want to say that I am more than impressed by the mountain landscape and Culture down there. As Chip, the manager of white grass and a former vermonter, said this place is "Vermont South". Timberline for sure had better vert and pitch, but White Grass attracts a type of BC enthusiast and maintains a vibe that I wish we had more of here in VT. Chip could not have been more stoked to have us all there and to show us around what he has been building for a couple of decades now.

A shot of us all about to make our first drop with Chip, who is grinning ear to ear



TWD strips his skins


and makes his first pow turns of the 12-13' season



DoWork thought it looked fun so he follows







Crank54 comes along as well









Chip show us how its done





Jon S does not like to wait for skiing pics, cramps his daily vert goals


But still we followed him into the unknown



and found some great snow on the "other side" of white grass.


Crank54 on the "baldy steeps"




Bushwhacker in Pa down from North Vt in an impromptu trip to visit his parents in near by pittsburgh. Glad they are getting quality time together









$10 a night for this Hill Billy chalet with 3 meals included, this trip really worked out






Day2- Crank at timberline first run, white grass had some traffic for sure so it was nice having a whole mountain to ourselves and skiing untracked all day. Sorry for the blurry shots, wrong camera setting this day.

About to head up

Hi mom and dad!


DoWork heading up, the sun peaked out for a few minutes

DoWork could not be more stoked on the 13 hour drive home

Great to see a bunch of mags make the effort and slay the goods from that bitch, Sandy.

Good work Maggots! Wish I coulda been there.

Nice peice of work. The November adventure.

thanks for sharing the stoke with your Internet Ski Buddies

Way to motivate all, enjoying all the shots and reports. Hopefully, the early models I've seen for later this week bring some of those conditions a little closer to home.

This pic really just encapsulates the level of stoke. Great shot.
