    Buddy's ski tracks on the Whiteface toll road yesterday:





    (I was instead working on the Greylock rando race course layout -- revised version to be posted once I recover from my encounters with prickers, whippers, deadfall, etc.)

    Nice to see this years thread arrive right when the snow hits. Spent Friday afternoon getting new boots fit on my funked up feet. Although the last weeks and this coming weeks rain is putting a damper on biking, I'm glad to see that we are getting precipitation again. Just hope it turns to snow soon.

    Bottle will be appearing shortly from summer hibernation to tell everyone to save their coin and not bother in an attempt to guard his stashes and his beloved chowdah!

    Bought 2 yesterday, headed to OGE today to get all my expedition gear.

    As I was driving back from Greylock yesterday evening, I had a nice phone call with my buddy on the relative safety merits of skiing sub-inch snow "cover" on asphalt road (freshly paved apparently at Whiteface!) vs ski resort dirt/rock work road.
    (Overall conclusion seems to be that the former is potentially worst for your ski edges whereas the latter is potentially worse for your knee ligaments.)

    Wheels work really well in sub-inch snow...especially fat ones.

    But that would defeat the purpose, i.e., not outdoor fun maximization, but rather skiing for the sake of skiing!

    Yesterday morning at Wildcat -- looks like it could be skiable for real (although looks are often deceiving for this kind of stuff):

    You and I have a different definition of skiing apparently, but have at it! I only ski rocks and dirt in the spring when the base is melted out.

    Wow, so weird that snow only fell on that one trail. Global warming?

    Somebody call Strawjack's wife and see if he's tied up in the basement or something...

    Either that or his password's been stolen, sold, or given away.

    It has been well established in previous roll calls that if you ski early season / low tide conditions you might die - can't you just split wood?

    It's kind of a tradition for Sparky to ski the toll road first.
