If you're going to come as as far north as Ascutney, you might want to consider riding Boston Lot on day 2. There's a few hours of good technical riding to be had there. I'd show you around but I'll...

I'll be there....weather is looking good for now. Swing by and visit my poster at the cancer discovery tent after 2 or so if you're still around. I'll probably be in an ultimate or dartmouth kit or...

Kudos to whoever was shredding the last 50 square feet of snow at Tuck's yesterday:

Hey thanks! I didn't see this till just now. I musta come in not too long after you posted.
Took them out this afternoon, the 2* tune is killer. :biggrin:

Massive thanks to you for dealing with...

Update: Marker got a pair of 14s out to me as a warranty replacement. The guys at Totem Pole in Ludlow were awesome in getting the bindings warrantied and the new bindings mounted for me (torin and...

Maybe next time! And luckily I got in a few hours of skiing before my binder went, so it wasn't a total wash. I'm fine, just cruising down lazily when it happened. though there were a bunch of times...

The heel tabs that broke on mine were also on the inside, but I find it hard to believe that I could smack the heel piece that hard, especially with the brakes in the way.

How about them on-slope Porsches? Made the lift a little more entertaining.

Exact same scenario as the OP, and my binding broke pretty much exactly the same way: http://m.imgur.com/EJFAK9L

Must be a bad mould at the factory or something....

For what it's worth, I'm six...

Great morning of skiing at the bush.

Until, that is, this happened:

^^ sandwich looks good but the beer is really what has my mouth watering.

Got in some early morning skinning followed by some real nice soft lift served laps at the ski way before heading into...

This is also heartbreaking. Is there confirmation it was a heart attack? This seems more and more common in endurance sports...really scary stuff.

That was indeed me. Thanks for the superb mount!

Base grind is from the factory.


vibes re: above. Always sorry to hear stories like that.

This sounds great. I'm a huge Mosaic fan, been looking forward to seeing more commercial usage.

D'ya think these guys will get a seat on the backcountry committee? :fmicon:

I think they're reporting 5 in the past 24, not 15.
I find even 5 a little hard to believe, but maybe they did.

That is awful.
If anyone is passing through WRJ to take stuff up in the next couple of days, PM me, I'd like to send some food/groceries.

Weird. I've never found WRJ creepy. It's a little poverty-stricken, but it's certainly not creepier than any other less-than-wealthy VT town.

Well, shucks. I hope my experience with the Baron doesn't match yours. Thanks for the input. I suppose that if I really hate the barons, it's a pretty easy switch to re mount with the F12s (same hole...

Thanks for the input guys. I was really torn (still am) between the F12s, Barons and Ambitions. It sounds like some people are having really good success with the F12s and the ambitions look like...

Thanks for the input, guys.



Yeah, that is the way I was leaning but I was hoping I could get away with the F12s since they are so much lighter. I'm probably asking for too much though...

I am waiting on a pair of response core Worth Magic 185s (that I am super stoked to be getting) and I have a couple of weeks to figure out what binder to get for it.

I am 6'0", 160lbs (without...

Looks pretty sweet, but shit is it expensive! You'd need to use 20 bucks worth to do a lot of the things he proposes.

Merry Christmas all!

That's a huge bummer :nonono2:

That's the only logical explanation.

So Ary's email was in response to this:




The original email from Brian is pretty tame, and definitely not deserving the response Ary gave it. There's also a rumor floating around on that...

Seriously - ridiculous. I was not involved in the email exchange so I can't say for sure whether it's unaltered or not. I saw it here:...

Yikes. I was also up there this summer, was wondering what that equipment was up there for. I understand needing to run a business, but alienating locals is not the way to do it. Burke isn't exactly...

That was the whole quote, but here it is with a bit more context: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/uvmba/jM5cnYOfTh0

from a local bike listserv...ho-lee-shit

Sounds like someone that's upset that it was a crowded day (shocker, sunday with fresh snow) and that it took a little bit of extra time to open up Heaven's Gate. And I totally don't agree that there...

There will be a discussion on VT Edition today about BC skiing for those interested: http://digital.vpr.net/post/backcountry-climb-and-ski-it-if-you-can

On a related note to that - has anyone tried the newer '14 EPF Barons - does the rail width have a noticeable effect on performance or is it just marketing BS? I can pick up a pair of '13 barons for...

Josh at single chair just posted an early prediction, for what it's worth. http://www.madriverglenweather.blogspot.com/2013/12/more-details-on-potential-weekend-storm.html

I am at an impasse.

I am in Hartford VT. I could go NE to the Bush/MRG (where I have a pass), E to Sunapee, W to K-mart, S to Magic. Decisions, decisions...

Couldn't get away early today so...

For sure. I'll keep an eye out next winter!

Beer league at whaleback? I need to get in on this.
I see I'm just down the road from you....I'm in Wilder.
I think Saturday AM (if I can get out of my driveway) will be the first time this...

sweet video. very stable for helmet footage

Cool to see some of the people that work on this posting in this thread. Keep up the good work, always enjoy it.

Favorite episode is probably Mica. You should do something like that again ;)

Apologies if it's already been posted. Did a quick search and couldn't find it.

For whoever has friends saying there's nothing to do in the Mad River Valley, look 2 posts up for what to do. ;) Thats assuming they are open. I stopped by the new cannery today and Jen said they are...

Price is now 299...after Nov 7 goes to 429. Still a great deal, I think.

Hey everyone -

Also, I'd buy soon if you're planning on it, it seems like MRG hasn't changed the price for it on their website yet....unsure about Jay or Bolton

I'm in PEMM - program in experimental and molecular medicine; I'm currently rotating in the cancer center in DHMC. What program are you doing?

I'm sure you can still get the pass as long as...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I just thought I'd check back in and let everyone know I purchased the triple major pass just now (And may jump for a whaleback pass too...what's another 99$?).
