I checked on this while at MRG for woods maintenance yesterday and from the sound of it the early January date has no significance. I was told the goal is second weekend of December to Christmas because ticket sales early season are always low anyways but the mountain would likely open on weekends from Thanksgiving on in the event of early dumps. My guess is that January date was either pessimism or a guess based on last years opening. Also some of those woods lines are looking incredible right about now.

Anyone want some beat up 177 Kendos, silver dragon topsheet, used 3 seasons? Mounted once for small dukes. Free for pickup in Boston. In OK shape except for an edge bulge. Could probably be epoxied.

Yeah, I figured... x-mas is pretty key for $$$. No way would they go into the season with this mentality/date this early. Originally Posted by AyoBeng

Last year was obviously one of the worst, but hoping it improves. Nice work in the woods.Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

Random question: so what triggers a new ECRC thread each year? First snowfall? Post ULLR fest?
...feel like I'm about to get blasted for this...!

It's been triggered by summer melts some years. Might be a party and snow this weekend? Originally Posted by ADKmike

Now wait just a minute... You're telling me there are great foliage locations outside of Vermont. UNPOSSIBLE
Great shots. It looks like the Catskills had a great foliage season this year too.Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.
