    TR: Ughh... ANOTHER east coast TR........

    It snowed a shitload. It was all upslope and only snowed at the mt. If you want to see what happened yesterday morning, i suggest you look at gpetrics TR Here. soul_skier, allenataylor, and myself got a sub-alpine start and arrived at the crack of 10:15, just as the quad went off wind hold.

    allen was stoaked that there was soft snow again after a week and a half of death crust.


    unfortunately he was really camera shy and spent most of the day diving under the snow whenever i tried to take his picture.


    allen, getting your picture taking is not a big deal, it wont steal your soul...


    Soul_skier spent most of the day chasing after snow snakes, he spotted one from his perch up here and went charging after it.


    allen skied this really cool line, but saw that the camera was out again and tried to hide.








    I was a lot less camera shy and spent the day practcing my brochure poses. You hear that Stowe?


    sometimes the snow became too overwhelming though...


    ...but I quickly regained my composure and cheesed it up again.


    Soul_skiers roommate, eric joined us for this sluttiest of photoslutting days.

    There goes a snowsnake! quick soul, go get it!


    Soul_skier in hot pursuit


    allen wanted to go meadow skipping. Whatever dude, lame...


    allen starting to get a little less camera shy.


    I am a filthy filthy slut.


    Allen saw the camera and put up his smoke screen in an attempt to escape.


    He wasn't quick enough this time though


    eric again


    I've run out of funny caption ideas for now. This is me, very thankful that winter is back.


    One more ski magazine shot


    In the afternoon we met up with gpetrics and salida and hiked to the top of jay peak, where we got this amazing view of burlington


    then we skied this awesome bowl on top of jay peak. gpetrics.


    allen thought it was a pretty good idea too and managed to overcome his shyness.


    allen was so happy to have new snow that he jumped for joy


    today we returned and didn't get nearly as many good pictures. The weather was really nice, but the snow had seen a lot of wind action and was unpredictable and highly variable.

    We skied this thing. It was totally covered in ice, to say we charged it would be a complete lie. This is Soul_skier, charging mid line.


    Soul was having so much fun hiking uphill that he didn't want to go down. It's ok soul, come down off the rock, we have skiing to do.


    We ran into madbill and a bunch of guys on moment skis. I can only assume that they were TGR affiliated tahoe transplants. Care to identify yourselves? Was that girls knee ok? We were the dorks skiing woods with full-faces.

    Soul taking flight in the same area.


    note to self: when you are shooting pictures on sunny days, remember the polarizing filter. Allen about to find his hot tub.


    Thanks for looking. Its been sweet out there the last two days, I wouldn't give up on old man winter just yet.

    Jesus christ. Two weekends I miss in the past two months, all powder days. I guess I only like to ski on weekends with ice and rain storms.

    Looks like you guys had a sick day, well done.

    A quote from a while ago:

    Blurred: The thought of even skiing the east makes me sick to my stomach.

    Yet another example of: Don't talk about what you don't know about.

    Stowe did not suck today. Even after my very late start, I was making turns in beyond bench without crossing a single track

    ^^^That's a ridiculously sick pic!

    I dunno what to say guys? You're killing it, and making me wish I could get up north a little more.
    "Oh, no pics. To simulate the skiing today, walk out your door, grab a handful of snow, and throw it in your face. Repeat as necessary.
    If you don't have snow outside your door, what the fuck are you living there for?"
