    Hey East Coasters, What's this thing called.

    So I was lurking around east coast sites and decided to google info about a little hill up in the live free or die state.

    The line just left off center sure looks pretty. Anyone of you guys try this thing out yet?

    there are dozens and dozens of lines like that In the higher peaks region just to the northeast the get and hold snow much longer and more consistently. I've played around in the franconia's, but I stick to where the fat fruit hangs higher, but lower if you know what I mean.

    c'mon out for a tour or more!

    Can't imagine anything up there hasn't been hit yet

    Don't know the exact name of the line, but I know a few mags who have hit it already in years past.
    To those men who are born for mountains, the struggle can never end, until their lives end. To them it holds the very quintessence of living - the fiery core, after the lesser parts have been burned away.

    Starve the ego, feed the soul.

    Well I figured it had to have been skied already but if I was in your neck of the woods I would have that thing on my hit list for sure. It's real pretty.

    I would love to but coming from the west to ski the east is a tough one especially with all of the options within just an 8 hour drive. But you never know.....maybe one day I can take you up on that.

    ^^^ Here we go ...

    No stomping on my life buzz. Never had a bad day skiing east or west. (actually two last winter but not geographically related)

    Life is good. No better way to spend it than in the fall line in the mountains.

    I always just called those lines the Lafayette Coolers. Fun stuff. Some steeper lines to the South of there. Franconia has some hidden gems, but most winters the great stuff is only in for a week or so.

    Skied the main line a few years back, that's a fun one. Definitely the steepest stuff I've skied on the EC, although I haven't played much around MTW.

    Looks like the a few runs in the Olympics...Good on you icecoasters!
    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

    Traveling East to ski would be insane. But if you can't have fun skiing here, you don't like skiing.

    Looks sort of like some of the sick terrain at Bridger, except long enough to make a few turns:

    Just started poking around in that area. Been in the next drain South so far. Lots of choices and plenty of history all along that ridge line.
    The sad truth is that whine does not age well
