Great pic....

Killer day at mighty state run Belleayre today. Only had 6 trails listed as open, but there were more skiers on the closed trails than the open ones. 24" of light powder. Ski patrol on the far side...

God, people are assholes sometimes.

So funny....WMMR blasting through the stereo, the canvas yurt, the Langs ski shop trailer renting those skis with bindings that lock onto the plate...

DOuble chair lift line EASILY 30 minutes for...

Are you refering to Belle Mountain?!

Hell yes...what a place...

Bummed I left my boots in the mountain. Otherwise I would ski it Thrusday on the way to work!

Ah, Platty!

Looks like they might have another good opening day this year!

I was at Belle Sat and Sun. skiing the two trails they had open. Nice time.

No problems riding alone both days this weekend, but the mountain was barely open and pass holders only till this week.

Next week will be the test after this midweek storm.

But the rules are,...

what are you asking for those?

What was your review on the five days you skied these? Looking for an east coast powder ski, these might fit the bill...

About 15" at Belleayre in the catskills. No lines. Very empty. Had third or fourth tracks on the first 4 runs. Hiked to Cath. Brook and probably 1st of ten tracks there. The gondi was on hold...

"These are my powder blades."

- In the gondi at Belleayre, a man leading a ride-long seminar on snow blades, which evidently his entire family use all season long. Yep - powder blades. "See? ...

thanks for this. Stripped the BWs of the bindings tonight. Will mount the R9s tomorrow.

Just measured the center of boot on my BW and they are about 1" back from the suggested line on the R9.

Interestingly (or not...) there is no suggested mark on the BW.

Great - thanks. On the line it will be...

I'm also getting ready to mount my R9s this weekend.

180s, I'm 6'1". 185lbs.

Been on the 180 bushwhackers for years. Probably just go on teh line unless someone tells me otherwise.

Can't...

God dan, this thread is really raising my blood pressure. This also drives me up the wall.

What? You can handle having a full can of beer (or water, or water) in your pocket because your going...

This drives me absolutely fucking crazy while hiking.

Honestly, what is the god damn point of putting it in a plastic bag and LEAVING IT there? Now we have dog shit protected by a piece of...

Fucking hell....crazy....

Haven't been following this storm since I doubt I'm skiing htis weekend, but what's up? From the forecasts, looks like Poconos get more than vt?

Skied Magic for the first time last saturday after trying to get there for a few years. Every time I would plan something it would rain, or thaw...

And sure enough, friday night, it rained a...

Thanks - sounds perfect then. That 'playful at lower speeds' is exactly what I was worried about.

Appreciate the info!

Anyone have experience to compare the Bushwackers to the Rustler 9?

East coast skier, 6'1" 185, off trail when ever possible, bumps over groomers....not a particularly fast skier, and don't really...

Here's hoping!

Looks great - SB?

Yep - trying to stop myself from checking the forecasts...

Ok, off to the farm for some chickens for an afternoon sacrifice to Ullr.

Awful forecast for our family 3 days at stowe before X-mas. What a drag. Been telling my daughters about all the great spots, and promising a Bruce Trail>Matterhorn last run....

Looks like...

So sounds pretty dense everywhere - is the snow falling today and tomorrow going to be lighter?

Awesome snow totals, particularly S.Vt.

Wonder what the weekend will be like....

Lol.

Great avatar. I have that on a tee-shirt. Bought it from a guy over at PT.

Was at blue today for about 3-4 hours. Great time. Snow was nice and soft. They seeded teh bumps on main street. Great time. Dumping rain in central Jersey right now...

We're gonna hit blue tomorrow, even though it's 1-1/2 trails. Hunter/belleayre will have a hand full open, but I'm not up for the drive. And honestly, man made snow....all the trails ski the same...

caught between blue with a short drive, short run, and long lines and hunter with a long drive, longer run(s) and probably better lines.

Really want to ski but not sure I have 2-3/4 drive each way...

I seem to remember a Blue thanksgiving weekend a few years ago - was down right mid-winter.

Maybe it was first weekend in Dec? Yeah, actually, that sounds right - they opened Thanksgiving, but...

Centered on the line.

288, pretty sure it's on line, but will double check tomorrow.

(I tried to post this last week, but it hasn't appeared...sorry if this is a dup....)

Bought a set of skis for my daughter at a non-refundable tent sale. Lo and behold, we ended up with two...

What the....? I'm gonna have to send the seller a question.

Either:

"Would you take $82,500?"

or

"I assume this is some kind of unusual scam, where you hope to attract foreign buyers...

Best of luck - hope everyone is safe.

Wow - great report, great way to spend a b-day!

Nice! Won't be long now!

K-ton world cup right around the corner....

208's with the neon K2 logo? no, I'd never let those go.

Some thoughts on teh upcoming season, set of skis for sale, what not.

Huh. Not sure how to respond to that. Maybe this isn't the place for me.

Hi all - Just wondering how I can get privileges to post new threads.
Thanks!
