Cannon was killer today, per usual. Only a little bit of snow overnight, but just enough to play around in all morning. Glad I had the GS boards for the afternoon though.

anybody ski p-kill this week? How was it.
Looks like another low pressure system will take a similar if slightly more northern track tues-wed. Could be another round of good to great snow for the catskills north. Wondering if there will be enough base to ski highmount.

nice warm, sunny weather though.
damn...Black Magic Extreme in 2 weeks...I'm going to die, but the people watching will also die...with laughter. Hopefully it's nice and soft by then.
"Oh, no pics. To simulate the skiing today, walk out your door, grab a handful of snow, and throw it in your face. Repeat as necessary.
If you don't have snow outside your door, what the fuck are you living there for?"

Hey philly mags-
anybody going to trek out to Phoenixville for the Banff Mountain Film Festival?
when is that?
EDIT: Feb 29th and March 1. 7:30pm Colonial Theater, Phoenixville, PA. Maybe...I'm working both days, but even so, I've gotta see what my school work load will be. Would be cool to go rock climbing pre-film.

Devils Fiddle was $$$ today. Amazing what some sun can do to the snow and my face.....
yeah fuck that. id rather take PATCO to NJ, get my car from my parents house, and then drive back over the bridge to Phoenixville.
This is what I'll do as long as my work load with school this weekend isnt too bad.
Unless there are any Philly mags going that wouldn't mind hooking me up with a ride? PM me if this is an option for any of you.
forget the world, give us the earth
Cross post but wanted to get this some visibility... Additionally, Ill be roadtripping through VT all next week if anyone wants to link up for turns (following snow or at the least, avoiding rain)
Bring your Bogner fartbags and 200+ retro boards, its that kind of race. Benefiting the Adaptive Sports Foundation we hold a memorial race every year for a friend who passed away in a car accident some years ago. There are discounted tickets and a STRONG Gulash the night after the race. Would love to have the turnout be strong as the race continues to gather momentum.
Details at www.remembermichael.com or PM me.
StrattOWN review:
After reluctantly giving my money to the American Ski Company for the past 10 years or so, It was a breath of fresh air to know that these pig fuckers were selling off their property and I could get anew pass and give my green to other mountains. Ding Dong the witch is dead .. Plus I was getting sick to death of Snow, Ktown, and Sunday River. Onward with Sunappee, Stratton, and Okemo
Anyhoo.. Always avoided Stratton, because to the snobby stigma and the "it's all cruisers and groomers" pitch... finally gave it a shot... absolutely thrilled that I did. Probably my new favorite Southern VT mountain. Lines weren't bad for a Saturday, snow maintenance is head and shoulders better than sucky Okemo. But it is all about the trees.. I think the snobby reputation this place has keeps the aggressive skiers and riders tearing up the shit of the other southern VT mountains... there were huge sections of trees on this hill right next to the lift that had completely untouched 6 inches of blower far and wide at 3:00 PM ON SATURDAY. well cut, well placed, untouched trees all over this mountain.. never seen anything like it 24 hours after a small storm.
2 hours from home too.. marked trees were good .. unmarked trees were fantastic.. glad I finally gave this mountain a shot, and plan on returning soon.

I am hearing peeps that this storm midweek may be large for Northern Vermont
i definitely wouldn't want to be northern VT for this storm. the base is just too deep, and 8-16" of cold smoke just won't be that enjoyable without rocks and trees to snag your shit on.... i'd stay down south too
anyone going to be at Jay tues or wed? maybe thurs too depending on how things work out? look for hellbents and FKNA sticker on helmet and thule foil.
A woman reported to police at 6:30 p.m. that she was being "smart-mouthed."
Just above that, I think. Chair wasn't moving at that point, so it couldn't have been me (I don't think, unless Red Chair could see me).
Like I said, still a fun day on an excellent mountain, just not what I had hoped. And pre-releases really screw your confidence.

Dexter, try Magic again. Maybe it's an aquired taste.
Speaking of taste, did you at least taste the HighLife at the bar?
No, I love Magic, that was the third or fourth day I've skied there this year, and I'll be back for at least a few more. Given how much snow there was through NY, MA, and CT I just thought there might be more at Magic. I think they got 2" less than northern NJ...
I was too busy making S'mores on the deck with my kids to hang at that bar, but I've done that in past years, too.

totally going to miss north.

I'm so glad I have class and law school. So much better than touring some new powder.
