Subbed!
First episode here:b
https://youtu.be/pdXD2AJvXGc
Sorry, no skiing in it. Next week skiing. Had fun making some turns with Skinipenem and Skinipenem Jr at Killington, Jhyatt at Cannon and MNIAW at Stratton. Did a mediocre job shooting footage. As much as I like working with cameras, it’s actually more fun to ski. In a couple weeks I’ll be back in New England and I will better document the skiing experience with the mags of the east.
Skied some runs at Sunday River with a young woman who met her hubby skiing, got engaged skiing and honeymooned skiing. She gets in 80 days a year. I could keep up but it wasn’t a cake walk.
Still trying to figure out the production/skiing balance. I like working with cameras, I love skiing. Will get some Western NY hills in next

So zigging and zagging between the midwest, Western NY and New England. Looking forward to getting back to the mountains of VT, NH & ME.
Skiing at Killington with Skinipenem and Skinipenem Jr (on his way to being a bad ass skier like his dad)

JHyatt at Cannon. I share his fondness for a mountain that is under appreciated by people who prefer the nearby mountain with the 8 person heated chair

MNIAW and Brian at Stratton. That was a week ago when SoVT was the place to be in the east. Almost crossed paths with MNIAW 40some years ago racing in what was Div II west (NY State)

I hope they get a little bit better each time. There is a delay between the skiing and the post production. Yes, i ramble. No, I don’t write anything. I do know one Notch from another in NH, even if the edit is ambiguous. On my way to SLC now. Will return eastward when the snow returns

Hopefully not a wreck. I don't see visible damage.
Been enjoying the videos.

Bruh what happened?
I think it’s the alternator at least maybe more. I am in Fort Morgan. Had I known that this town smelled so bad would’ve gone to Greeley

You can't escape the smell in that stretch, it smells everywhere around there. Once the van's fixed where you headed?
Awww shit! I guess it was inevitable.Quote:

Ended up in Steamboat for the first time. Spent the day skiing with a competent former Hoosier who took me to some steep trees with fresh powder. A local was disappointed because the snow wasn’t lighter, I was relieved it wasn’t heavier as the temps were pretty warm last night. Not a great day for shooting video but I tried. Was I smart enough to grab some stills? Nope. My knees (even the good one) told me to stop but my brain and heart overruled the joints.
The upper parking lot fills up very early so that necessitated a gondola to get to the gondola from the lower lot. That delayed things a bit. Other than that bottleneck the crowds weren’t outrageous for a Saturday with fresh snow.
Going to SLC soon then north to ID, MT, WY possibly AB. Need to do some figuring with weather and distance factors

I hope it was something as simple as an alternator.Quote:

Nice. A Wasatch episode of your series wouldn't be complete without an SFB appearance.Quote:

One of my biggest regrets from my time there was not making turns with him sooner.Quote:

Skifishbum, Hustash and Chad somewhere good at Solitude
Thrilled to be in SLC skiing with some old pals and new friends. Skiing with Skifishbum is a blast for an elderly ice coast skier like me. Heard from many mags what an extraordinary guy SFB is, they were right. Getting some good content. The series will improve
Nice work! Wish I had known you were in the boat last weekend. Looking forward to the next episode with SFB footage.
Rad!
We didn't wait for the opening of that gate, but did get up Evergreen shortly after opening for some sweet untrack down the ridge and Coyote(?) chutes. Hoping for some good clips and shots.Quote:

Pretty sure I'm hitting sunlight tomorrow. You have Indy? Are you around?
Charles, you make it through Colorado unscathed?
The videos keep getting better, keep em coming

Looking forward to the next one. Need mo' skiing.

Thomas, I'll be back in your neck of the woods in a few weeks
Byates, have Indy, Will communicate better on next westward excursion.
Iowagriz, almost unscathed and recovering. Glad you find the episodes improving. Thanks
Ben, there will be more skiing and a higher ratio of skiing to my rambling. Let's get some good footage of you at Jay!
New ones every Wednesday (episode 7 tomorrow). Episode 6 is largely about my impression of Fort Morgan when the van had an issue. Fort Morgan CO was the birthplace of Glenn Miller and is widely known today as the smelliest town in CO, perhaps the whole country
SFB et al in episode 8, next week

Part Deux of Beardcicles in The Beehive State.
This one is better than the preceding ones. By the end of the season they will be good.

Another good one, you even have my seldom skiing spouse enjoying them.
Post up your approximate travel schedule, especially as you get into Montana.

Nice one
Thanks, Cat! trying to make them better. Just returned from 2nd Quebec quickie (le Massif is impressive and the old town of Quebec is beautiful) Going west again next week and will ski some WI and MN en route to MT, AB, ID etc Will meet up with Skinipenem somewhere out there and hope to ski with as many Mags as possible in the weeks and months ahead.Quote:

have one more in the can but need a new editor! Have stuff from last New England trip (Smugglers, Blk Mt NH, Killington, Loon and the mighty King Pine!) I am too busy driving and skiing to edit myself, also too indecisive. Kind of stopped editing a long time ago because I don't like sitting all day (says the guy driving all over N America )
Keep watching. They will get better when I ski with and talk with the mags at their local mountains.

Michael cares that you tele, so do I. Smugglers Notch in this one, low tide last month.

I’m in SLC now about to head north. Powder Mountain tomorrow and a bunch of modest mountains in ID after that.

An undisclosed nameless corner of Snowbird yesterday with Skinipenem and Mandy (extremely good rider) shortly before my most bizarre crash in decades that was unfortunately not documented (I will draw a series of images to convey WTF happened)
