    FD is so funny. Ha

    Thanks, but I've said this before, my kids don't 'rip'. They can just turn whenever and wherever they have to no matter the terrain, which makes them a good 'safe' ski partner ob. Ripping is different story.

    That surf scene is cool...luv the longboard action. Kid had dawn patrol this am before school. It's been good lately, clean off shore and water has warmed a bit so 4/3 is in play. -Rog update BTW he got married up this past wkend! ...so he says anyway...not sure if its a women or not as it was down in MA

    yea, great shot!

    It really stands in stark contrast to how hideous the forum looks right now.

    Anyone thinking NH Sun-Tue-ish?

    I might be up for a White Plate run although I may be doing a road pedal [imagine that] this weekend.

    The new format is so crisp, I feel dirty. Is this the end?

    I've been listening to just Bluegrass Junction on sat. for the last month. Wish I was going to DelFest this weekend.

    Looks good boys!

    Too bad FD sallied out as a single plank would have rounded the group out nicely.

    Although FD was sorely missed, amongst others.

    My buddy Phil helped make us whole. That is a single plank in front of me in that pic SJ.







    Another great day up there with you Jon! Although are you ever really touring with Jon? More like watching him run up and down the mountain while you pant, sweat profusely, and contemplate a nap.

    Sure, we had a great tour together on Tuesday last week:
    https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...55#post4249355

    Well, okay, so "together" we drove to PNVC, then I went up to the summit, wandered around up there, eventually skied down into Tux, then back up Left Gully, lapped a little snowfield up there, hiked over to Hillman's and skied down to the base to find him drinking beer and playing fetch with his dog Rocket, and finally after I took a couple more laps in Hillman's we hiked down together.
    But hey, we all had fun -- especially Rocket!

    And here's both Jon H. and Rocket yesterday:

    Touche old man!

    Well done Jonathan! Calling BD and his photoshop hi-jinx, can we get a wolf and a rabbit lurking somewhere in the background please?

    I can't speak for Phil since I don't know him, but I have absolutely no place in that group unless one of them is willing to drag my ass up da hill. More than likely they could do a lap and catch me before I got down on my first. Thanks for the heads up TC, but as I told Straw, time to focus on replenishing the finance box so I can slack off next winter.

    Saw something this morning mentioning the "possibility" of more snow up high next Wed/Thurs. so I guess there's still a slim chance for me to do some wolf tracking.

    I guess I subconsciously didn't notice that board in the pic just to give FD a little luv.

    Get ur arse up there!


    On a personal shitty note...tomorrow is gonna suck as I have to put my dog down. He was diagnosed with cancer and given 3-4 months and here we are 25 months later. We won the battle for longer than expected and I'm truly grateful for that...but it still hurts like hell.

    I'd be up for an Otto day! Got the grill prepped. This time I'll bring the torch. Brews burgers and corn! Lets do it!

    nice to see the stoke going strong, and various rt3 related gags from JS. sorry to hear about the dog though SJ.

    finally getting around to some pictures from last weekend, maybe i'll finally do a TR for this one!?

    SJ, vibes to you and your dog. I've gone through that a few times with the family...it is never easy. Take care man.

    Rudeness...you've just in time for some Otto Rhodes action. Ripper and I are looking to heading down...but need a reasonable weather window to cross the border and make the trip. That is Couloir de l'aigle (not 100% sure of the name). How far could you drive up? All the way to the dam?

    Okay, my skiing has slowed down and I don't fish....so I have a bit of time to catch up on some TR writing. Here is a TR from 2 of my last 3 days so far this season...I'm still working on Jay's day in the middle.

    The skiing isn't steep like Airplane or Couloir de l'aigle above, but it is super steep in history. Hill 70 predates the invention of the ropetow.

    Here is something from the planned last weekend (May 10-11) of skiing at MSS and the actual (May17-19).

    First weekend was the schedule end of the season = May 10
    The second weekend was the actual end of the season and last day in the East = May 19


    May 10 : Hill 70 West and Nordique trails

    Saturday May 10
    Month 104
    Day 78

    On this weekend only three ski areas remained open in the East and MSS was again the last in Quebec and amongst the last three open in the East. Jay and MSS had announced that Sunday May 11 was their last day of the season; a season started on October 30 for Mont St-Sauveur. All three ski areas were now on limited operations with Killington open Friday to Sunday while Jay and MSS were only open for the weekend. Actually that isn’t entirely true, MSS had been spinning midweek everyday from 7am to 11am rain and shine for ski race camp on the “MSSI Glacier”. That is the main reason why public skiing in May at MSS only started at 11am the last two weekends.

    (Click link below to read more)

    Monday May 19
    Day 80
    Last day of liftserved in the East.

    I returned for the “Last weekend of the 2013-14 ski season again”. The news came Friday morning that there was too much and the weather was perfect again for an extra weekend; which happened to be a Victoria Day Holiday weekend in Canada. I was happy as I couldn’t get away from Ottawa on this weekend, but I was free to go skiing on Monday. I had hope to make a return trip to Killington this season if they went further into May, but it wasn’t meant to be and I ended up, somewhat surprisingly, returning to MSS for one more time to close out Eastern liftserved ski season.
