With a Milton reference and a JTQ link, this thread delivers

That place is on my list. Looks like it would be fun place to go to after a mid week storm. It’s a 3-ish hours drive from the Loaf, or 4.5 from Portland and it doesn’t look like there is much else...

Solid upgrades with the pump house and the new guns. The snow surface was as good as it’s ever been at this time of year with as much natural snow as we’ve had

Scituate is most definitely the Irish Riviera! I grew up on Oceanside drive between Second and Third ave until the Blizzard of 78 became one too many storms for my parents to deal with.

The North Shore of Massachusetts is on the East Coast

The Lodge griddle is great.

Even Sugarloaf is sending out reminders not to be an idiot whole uphilling

Conditions aren’t terrible at the Loaf. Soft turns this morning are a nice way to ease into the season

You haven’t really lived until you’ve cracked open a tin of golden smokies. Blacks Harbor’s finest.

If that rule doesn’t work out, you can give the gift of this lovely pillow.

Is that Danforth Cove or one of the other pocket beaches on the ship channel? Used to live in that neighborhood.

We were saying that even though most of the chairs were full, we didn’t run into any traffic on the trails on Sunday. Mt. A will never be another Highland, but it’s still fun.

We were planning on...

Makes sense. SR got their timing wrong by a few years. I felt like they were ahead of their time

Isn’t it 41 years ago today? 2/22/1980

Payment and form submitted earlier today

I’m in for 10 too if another round is ordered

This is excellent

We checked it out before the snow fell. Looks super fun and a great addition to the network . Is the plan to just have people ride up the Whiffletree service road or something else?

The Ötzi museum in Bolzano is 100% worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Boston to Cannon is 80 miles and Portland to Sunday River is 64 miles. I suppose it depends on your starting point.

There really isn’t any other place on the east coast where you can have access to the ocean and the mountains as easily as Portland.

Winter does linger though.

More sightings today around Cousins. Harbor Master just sent out an alert telling folks to use strong situational awareness.

FWIW, Burnt Mtn isn’t terrible. There’s a bit of crust underneath the top layer, but not bad overall

108 is the new 112.

FIS slalom skis are super fun, I picked up a cheap pair at a ski swap last fall and I’m almost happy when the Loaf gets another thaw/freeze cycle.

There are a lot of decent front side skis around...

It’s about time the franchise expanded to Maine.

If you eat it at a restaurant it’s overrated. If you’re eating lobster on an island, it’s wicked awesome, bub.

Monty hasn’t been good since Robotman left

Yes!

Looks like a great time

There’s a pair of super comps (not new ones) at Ragged Mountain in NH.

Photos of the skis?

Does MRG allow monoskis?

There’s 2 apps called Windy in the App Store. Do you mean the one that’s also known as Windyty on the one called “Windy - wind & waves forecast” by Igor Kamenev?

Androscoggin glade at the Loaf is technically skiable, but not great. I was up there Saturday afternoon and there was some decent snow, but I was making contact with stumps and other things that...

Zermatt is about 3 Hours by train. When I was in Milan a couple of years ago, i tried to find someplace closer, but Zermatt was pretty simple from a logistical perspective. You’d think it would be...

We got an Ulli Steamroller 11.5' a few years ago because the portability of the the inflatable was really nice while on our boat. The Ulli has been really solid over that time, but not significantly...

If you're into history, Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast is outstanding. Haven't listened to his Revolutions one yet.

This. Today was so good. Winter's, Bubblecuffer and Brackett were as good as I've seen. Didn't have my mouth covered first run down Comp Hill and it was hard to breathe with all the snow.

Between this thread starting and the signup for our local ski swap opening up, I'm getting ready for this season whether I want to or not.

This. If you aren't sweating a little when you put the trap down, it's not set right.

I was on the lift about an hour before the incident and didn't notice anything wrong at the time.

Skied under the lift in the afternoon and a quick visual looked okay at that time.

I don't know what the mountains are reporting due to a social media blackout before I catch up on F1, but the 8-10" predictions were right on for Sugarloaf, and maybe a little light.

We only saw...

Right meow?
