I'm in FL now but I've got well used Dukes, Dynafits, Zzero4's(non carbons) a bunch of well loved skis that would make perfect rock boards or Ullrfest sacrifices. Anyway come help me clean out my basement!!!

Dude, I'm 30 minutes from Troy and as big of a gearwhore as anyone else...

How well used are the dukes?

Anytime you are going between Bennington and Troy, keep in mind that the Big Moose Deli in Hoosic has awesome pulled pork. Unless you like sweet, get the original. They will pack the roll separately for travel if you aren't going to eat it right away. I personally like to put the slaw on it too, YMMV. Do not expect to eat it while driving; it's way too big and messy to handle on the road. I'm guessing it's close to 1 lb. total weight for ~ $8.

well used but still functional. Right now they're attached to a pair of similarly used bluehouse mavens which IMHO are the perfect skis for thrashing on a Magic Mountain pow day

**strawjack** · 10-24-2013, 07:03 AM

Average Monthly Snowfall: 13.80

Total Snowfall So Far This Month: 2.1"

Start slow and finish strong?

**lemmycaution** · 10-24-2013, 07:08 AM

first snow at pkill this am

**From_the_NEK** · 10-24-2013, 07:20 AM

28 degrees and a 1/2 inch of snow here in the middle of the NEK this morning Bill.

heh, george hasn't seen but a few months out of the last 60 or more months above average for snow. sept was down. we could see maybe an additional 4-6 over the coming days from upslope, but......

less snow but more wind overall yields just as good as or better results oftentimes up there.

shit, a 150 inch season could still produce an epic winter/spring season up high if temps stay cold and the winds are honkin.

There appears to be a slight dusting on the top of the Boltron today. Can't really tell for sure since I'm looking out the window in Burlington

**lemmycaution** · 10-24-2013, 09:21 AM

for the Plattekill workday folks, in terms of the TIME of the workday people can start to gather any time between 8-9am and they will run the lift for a while starting at 9. see my orig post on ECRC7 page 1 and/or follow this link

Who is coming to Kmart tomorrow? I'll probably be solo. Dark blue arcteryx jacket, gray variant brim, black I/Os, just like everyone else. Oh, and on a snowboard.

They're also offering a free burger or chicken sandwich plus beverage to pass holders Fri. in the K-1 lodge. Doesn't include express pass holders. Express pass holders who purchased before Oct. 17 ski free but that's the freebie that came with the card. Express card holders who purchased after the 17th will be charged $25.

I'm in for this season but won't start until they get a little bit more open.
