East Coast Roll Call 10 [ten] SKI or SKI NOT, There Is No Try

**Vt-Freeheel** · 02-21-2017, 06:49 PM

See what I mean....

**buttahflake** · 02-21-2017, 06:57 PM

Yeah, I'm with bottlebro. Dick Punch's for all who would speak of fishing and whatnot. Has March been a total bust, the last few years, yes. Will it be this year? No one knows, but it could be huge. Plus I'm heading to Utah in March. Ski season is very much, still on. Keep supporting local establishments, despite what some may say, when you buy a burger and a beer and tip the waitstaff, it helps. Ski stuff is on sale, buy some!

Haha that's my bro in law. He's a snowboarder, but I stuck him on dynafits and pointed him down a slide. He did alright

**buttahflake** · 02-21-2017, 07:32 PM

Really? That guy hasn't been skiing his whole life? He looks like nuefox.
Total schralper!

Edit: what's he looking at? The toes are fully locked, and he knows this is wrong? Poor Bastard. He will never ski again.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 02-21-2017, 07:53 PM

He should be looking through the landing, not those locked toes[thanks for pointing that out]. Learned so long ago on sport bikes, look through the turn.

Is that blood on the snow?

Jay didn't get warm enough to soften but the groomers were still fun to rail.

We thought it was. Looked like someone face planted and then there was a pile of blood. There was a bit more further down the slide too. Didn't see anyone all day.

I may not have explained the workings of the bindings as well as i should've. Locked on the way up, not the way down. Again, he did good for being a snowboarder from RI..... that's some eagle eye shit right there buttah...

So much win in that photo! Frame It!!! Would be perfect over a tuning bench in the garage.

What dates will you be out there? I'll be around from the 11th-16th.

Not for nuthin, but we also have base upon base upon base, corn season is going to rock when the mtns close. There was also some powdery chowder off the beaten tracks above 3,000 today, below was best delt with speed and backseat driving. Was it the best day ever? No, but We still grinned when We hit the lot. Skiing is serious bidness, and if you can't handle the market downturns then maybe you should get out of the boiler room and take up basket weaving.

10-17, let's get some

**Brock Landers** · 02-21-2017, 10:01 PM

Yo bottle...do you ski sugarbush and do you have a VT license plate 'BTTLEMN'?

Saw one last weekend, almost peed on the hood of the car

Congratulations. I don't know you personally but always suspected you were a leader and a decision maker! That must have been why everyone pm's you!

**therudeness** · 02-21-2017, 10:08 PM

much improved morale on this last page! things are great. even the back-home lump has a decent base, and it was 16 degrees (60F) on saturday! definitely blew a few minds, local park youts borrowed the mono all afternoon. would be hilarious if a cult started at Batawa

**akokskis** · 02-21-2017, 10:14 PM

More of like a wealth of knowledge about Jackson Hole lodging, user names and lift ticket discounts. We are really excited. Did not expect to do it, but a really good opportunity came up with a highly motivated seller. Really excited about the biking this summer.

You'd be shocked at how close most of it is to running. The gorgey section and "last falls" are still holding tight, but the next 3 days pushing 60 and even a 1/4" of rain would set'er free. NBL was looking close too.

Agreed with all the "Dick Punchers" tho, we'll see more snow this year and maybe some epic dumps, but the sun is getting higher and days longer. Water will open up and shit will flow. Nothing wrong with Phunhogging folks. I've hiked for turns in the morning and banged ww run in the afternoon.

The flow is the flow... git'it where (and how) you can!

Not negative. Are folks negative in the bike forum if they express excitement for winter coming? I'm stoked for the Pow I've had, and stoked for the new season that is poking holes in winter left and right. If you view that as negative, it's on you. If it dumps, I'll be the first one on the skin track. Might even harvest local corn. *Won't* be bumming around the elitest condo farm....I mean resort posing with my goggle tan. I'd rather catch the first trout than make the last turn. The last turn usually sucks, and the first trout to move are generally the biggest.

Worth mentioning.....hucking waterfalls is something to look forward too. If you like Pow and Flow...don't miss the boat. http://www.vtpaddlers.net/?id=8
