First EC roll call thread

[Tuckerman]

FUCK YOU PINK!!!!!!!!

Props to Bluebird though. Checked magic mtn conditions page and said it was r*ining/freezing r*ining. Other mountains i'm sure forgot to include that little tid bit of information but focused on the 4" of new snow overnight!!!

What other mountains? Are there any other mtns that far south to compete with Magic? Jiminy Peak? Gore?

[yodaottis]

It's pissing in worcester right now :/
Still going for a night mission @ wachusett, then sugarloaf this weekend most likely.
Side roads are pure ice right now, careful out there.

Gravity- where you at?
I have to drive through SE NY tonight and I'm wondering what a shitshow 87 will be.

[gravitylover]

I'm in Mahopac but apparently the whole lower Hudson Valley area (from central Westchester on north) may not get above freezing today especially the lower elevations where all the cold air is trapped. Unfortunately for you 87 tends to stay in the lowlands.

[lionelhutz]

that's hot.
well at least its a heavily traveled road- that might help.

was in jackson for jan. and had deep pow every day, came home for a couple of weeks only to ski frozen granular. i guess i was lucky that the last two weeks we were suppied with some fresh snow/sleet. it goes to show you how bad the snow has been this year (in the east) when people are lining up at the lifts 1/2 hour before the lifts open for only 6"-8" of snow.
i'm heading back out west for some comps. and will be praying for snow back here.

good luck

I hear you buddy, our season has sucked! Especially since it is twice as deep since this picture was taken

[yodaottis]

Realized the loaf is a no go, blackout weekend of course.
Thinking of touring cardigan Sat. if anyone's interested. Will prob be myself skinning and a friend on snowshoes/snowboard.

for the record, it's all rain now here in smallbany.
rain on top of an inch of ice, but rain nonetheless.
damn, this storm would have been fucking epic.

Nice pic Buckethead! That must be Alta, right?

[macdadmorgan]

So pissed, should have made plans to head north, or should have never came home.
Got to Berkshire at 8:00, an hour later then i wanted to, becouse my snowblower was broken, and by then it was all rain. Skinned on the praxis, and they tore the 1'' crust, 6" of sugar under it a new one. Once at the bottom I noticed I dropped one of my gloves half way up, so i put the xxl on the pack and ran up to get it, they made it so much harder to ski then the praxis.
Now i am home drinking a beer before noon. Don't judge, I earned it.

[grubbers]

kind of a snow/freezing rain mix as phall and i rolled out of stowe at 10 today. plenty of good snow to be found in the woods though.

[Dromond]

I bailed on the mad dash for snow last evening. Jay looks like its getting all snow with half of the lifts closed. Hmmmmm.

[telepow]

dumping snow at the Bush again after 6" and a period of sleet. If this keeps up it will get deep fast

Shhhhh there is NO POWDER in the EAST!!!!

[skiingsamurai]

a big fuck you to the bush. Not that its their fault but i need to blame someone other than myself. A freind moved to jackson for the season and left me his bush pass. I guess too many of us used it and now its hotlisted. I couldnt even get up the fucking lift today.

bah!! and now its snowing again up there, it was sleeting when i left

That's a nice picture. It's one of my favorite lines there. The first tracks down there were good... How were the 2nd tracks?

[SheSkisTrees]

It's been snowing here in St. A for most of the day. We got about 10-15 minutes of sleet around 10 AM or so but it quickly changed back to snow.

Nice, wish I had some pics from last Sunday at Stowe. Deepest I have seen this year.

Still snowing in northern VT anyone??
