I skied Hintertux a fuckton when I lived in Germany. Steepest lift-served glacier skiing in Austria. Lots of the national teams train there in the summer. Skied there on July 4th one year. Skied...

Mounted some new sticks. Put Salomon Strive 12s on them using Knut's Warden 11 template. I had written that the heel needed to be mounted 8mm "short" for the heel to be in the middle of the...

^ That was a favorite off the map glade/trail long before it became the official uphill trail. So rippable with new snow.

Ha! Jeff with a G caught Aldo sipping on a UC and gave him appropriate shit (not sold at the tavern). Biggins and I were drinking Shelburne's finest. They now cost $10/pint.


Maybe, but it's...

My favorite trail at K-Mart.

Magic was great yesterday. Cooked after 8 runs; was going to go back out after lunch but sat and drank Fiddleheads with Aldo and Biggins instead.

Monday, Monday....

You could still buy non-SOLE ID bindings from Marker 2 years ago....

Right, going to wait until the snow falls.

I really thought that skiing in touring boots inbounds was great. Until I didn't. Thanks to MilesToGo, I got reintroduced to alpine boots this season and have seen the error of my ways.

But some...

Wonder if the Strive heels explode like the 747s did.

Dang, looks like I'm going to have to buy some more gas for my snowblower.

All good things must come to an end...

Went upta Killington today with a non-mag neighbor and after grabbing 8th chair, we found great snow on Skye and Needles and did multiple laps. We then...

I don’t know of any states in New England that do a public school Spring break this early even though it’s Easter week.

Ain't nothing free. Your tax dollars paid for those freebies.



Those crossings into NY look like they're on the Res.

Yeah, when I ordered Kendos last year, I was still waiting for the email when the skis showed up on my doorstep.

I wouldn't worry.

Yer 5'9". Duh!

Awesome Slides stoke.

This is going to seem lame in comparison...

Did a 4-hour sesh at Okemo this morning. Got to the base area at 9:03 and they were already directing cars to the lower main...

Free refills all day at Magic yesterday. Bluebird today. Skied with Goniff and we found several untracked lines. Easily 2 feet + in about 20 hours.

Their liability laws are completely different and contributes to the affordability.

Also, they don't make a fuck ton of snow like East Coast US resorts have to. That shit's expensive.

Is TGR turning into Facebook?

Jeezum Crow.

I suggest you go to A-Basin and make sure you announce your arrival.

Not too many people will get that, but I do. Stairs look familiar.

If that pic had a blue tarp in it, it would belong in the Upstates thread.

Same here. Really liking it for the humor and great cast.

We're all big fans here in SoVT.

Magic just finished piling up all the snow from their terrain park. They'll cover it with hay and tarps to preserve it until early June and then host a...

^ Is that just sitting in your living room or out skiing?

I thought the same when I first got a pair but once I started skiing in them, all was right with the world fit-wise.

^ It was pretty fucking awesome today also. No action shots but bluebird skies, snow that was somehow Colorado dry, and short lift lines. Smoked by 2:30.

If you don't have his digits, text me.

I'll give you some goodies to bring him since he doesn't drink beer.

Fingers crossed for some back-end upslope fluff to bond to it. We rarely get that though...

Just got done clearing snow at the base of Magic. It is wet concrete. Does not move when pushed. Not sure it ever dipped below freezing last night.

We have no power but the ski area does so...

He's lucky he wasn't a postscript in "Not Without Peril",

Sneakers on MTW? Any time of year it's a bad choice but in full-on winter? He should not be allowed to procreate.

Well played

Congrats on 2 counts!

I don't follow the Wasatch thread and maybe you revealed in there but I just saw the news in your last post

^ had a lot of fun spring days at Gore...in April.

Kendo 88s for under $400 US for all lengths (at least this morning). That's about as good as it gets for us EC'ers.

I was looking for the M-Cross 82 for a hard snow EC ski but the only size they...

Despite a dismal outlook, I just had to get outside today since it was so nice. Walked over to see how Magic was skiing.

Awesome trip mags.

Wish I could have joined you.

DJ knows why I didn't but I am praying I can make it next year.

I can't even bear to post a pic of what things are like here in New England...

They raised the prices by about 8%, in line with inflation but still barely overtaking prices from 2020/2021. Let's remember that an unlimited pass at Stowe was north of $2,100 the last year AIG...

Ballston Spa is a great town. I lived there for a year over a nice family's garage.

^ that simplifies things

I always like how Tyrolia had 1 mount pattern for all their bindings. Hopefully they're moving toward 1 brake style as well.
