Watched for a bit and saw some ok but sloppy play. Soccer women have great legs. The most interesting thing to me was hearing the announcers talk about how the women's WC team plays training matches...

A big insurance company has its headquarters down the street. That 2000lb handblown glass sculpture imported from Italy in the lobby goes so well with the 200' tall American flag outside the front...

damn, was hoping the predators would pull thru and make the climb on the predator/prey curve. so now does man intervene with nature in a beautiful wild place...

long time ago now but still in my head when I watched a kid from the neighborhood get run over by the bus at the bus stop on the afternoon of the last day of school. big stop and lots of kids, lots...

MIL is lives life being held back by so many fears. Planes, chair lifts and heights… ok so a lot of people don’t like those. Elevators and trains… ok so you don’t like closed in spaces got it....

it wasn't great but it wasn't bad. light tenacious snow most of the time I was up there both days made it way better than dust on crust. rocks get pinged up there and its just how it is.

bohemia bound this weekend and hoping the mini clippers produce a little and LES kicks in. Regardless beers at the north pole will be enjoyed. anyone planning on being around.

lake effect snow machine has been crushing the UP. Any yooper folk have updates? Heading up, was going to go to deer camp but thinking skis and skins might be a better idea. Boho rumors of opening...

just moved back to Midwest and have been having good times chasing browns in the Driftless Area. not local from chi but not far

Went on a nice little walk about in the UP and got to ski the moon

I'm heading up to bohemia from wi tomorrow. Looks like a lot of nw wind with this thing. Looks like good times ahead

Yup crazy world, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! Bowed out when my friends had bench and bruce plans last weekend cause i have a similar number needed at stake but they say it was...

when i ski stowe i usually drink single chair beer in the mornings

and i thought i had a good day in vt yesterday, damn

Wind was howling out there this morning as well. Snow was fun and bonded to base pretty well, but really just a few inches and windblown. Sheltered runs and the woods held the snow pretty well. Some...

yeah took a few runs with my friends in some glades on both sides of the quad then ventured out to bench on our last run. took it pretty easy but the heavy wet snow was doing a good job covering...

good day on mansfield with snow with lots of moisture that covers objects well. weather observation of the day was the closer/deeper into the notch we got the more of a rain crust there seemed to be,...

the runs on mansfield were great this morning. Last few runs of the morning session we did some poking around in the woods and no real issues up high but another half foot would be good down lower. ...

a quick 3" at mansfield this morning and wind blowing it around. some good turns on runs and other certain places up high. venturing off trail is still pretty sketchy

took a run on mansfield and confirmed it was nice skating conditions however it did seem like there was a tiny bit new snow on the upper mt

Measured 5" outside the house in stowe, expect more during dawn patrol

looks like a lot of fun. After a weekend trip the terrain and the area seems nice. I know vert isn't everything, my midwest roots was telling me no vert means back to XC farm field riding. In reality...

2nd year on mine now. pretty happy in general, same complaints as above. ALWAYS seem to get snow between skin and ski at the tip. had a few small spots of silicone come off but doesn't really effect...

considering a move from VT to ME to get a better job. Probably would live between Augusta and Portland. How's the trails in that area? Near the ocean i'm guessing there isn't a lot of vert, so will i...

Annual spring snow day in January was great with the right perspective and a nice walk about up high

4 letter R word at top of quad at stough during lunch. hope it cools down up there

no triple at bohemia until Feb, bummer

Went on a walkabout and learned something about a glade
124970124971 and brought my fastest grass skis 124972 fucking snow boners make you do stupid stuff

4 lakes still is one of the weirdest/worst places I've "skied". Taught wife to ski there and villa olivia years back. Wilmont and the Raging Buffalo needed less booze to have fun than 4 lakes.

Love finding new to me trails like the mud city loop near Stowe. Sections near the brook was literally my dream trail

sanity check: surfy pow turns at stough. It is snowing above 2500ish and measured 15-25 cms at top of quad while there was slush at the base

little more than dust on crust at stowe today. was snowing pretty good and windy at top of double most of day. too bad there isn't a base

Got a pair for gift this xmas and played with them for the last few months. Pros are they are lightish, good glide, easy storage/use in field since they don’t stick to much. Cons are tail attachment,...

Another grom kills the ice monster, nice. Looks like sun, warm weather and mash potatoes snow with extended forecast looking like summer. means i'll be less ambitious in my skiing but probably overly...

So winter is dead in the UP? How's the snow pack holding up? Coming in from VT to see the family this weekend and was going to bring skis and hoping bohemia or other near by touring spots were still...

nice little walk in the smaller mts near Stowe this weekend with a few inches of light snow on top of a solid base. Whoever did the work on this drainage, i thank you.

Still piling up in Stowe, but snowing a lot lighter now. Today didn't suck but for was left wanting more snow like last weekend. Time to go on a walkabout.

Try Commodores Inn, Hob Knob or a few of the other smaller places in town

Had the same tech dilemma a couple months back when looking to upgrade the touring/tele part of the quiver and ended up getting the G3 Zenoxides in a 177 (6',180). It’s the only ski I own below 185...

fun was had at stowe. Seemed like the further out we went the deeper it got. Couldn't find bottom with a 50" pole is a lot of places.

:(
Her bright spirit will always be remembered

Been up quite a few times this week but not as much as last. TC's is correct, on this side of notch its either hard and crunchy or dust on a crunchy layer on top last weeks snow. Hopefully Mansfield...

Played in the woods for a few runs at Stowe as well. We were definitely skiing pretty defensively in there but there were some good turns to be had. However those were probably outnumbered by turns...

If you are primary looking to ski trees it will be tough. However today was quite a bit better than yesterday at Stowe and there is some snow on tap this week. I've poked around the woods that I know...

cold stiff wind at Stowe this morning. 6"ish of new but blowing around and open trails were pretty hard. night hike up spruce last night was soft and boot deep

dog POV, awesome
