dick. i haven't been there since freshmen year.

i did find this gem though:

looks like one decent cliff with a steep runout... and thats the whole course? i assume the bottom gets all bumped up and makes the run-out exciting right?

I don't know if this is part of the course or not, but if you go lookers left of that picture there is a large ridge that can be skied/aired? I hadn't been up there until Saturday and it looked big, steep and rocky. That could be interesting though.

Yeah obviously I'm bummed about going to Bolton but I don't really have a choice. I'm only gonna be there for a few hours so as long as I get to make a few laps on some good snow, I'll be happy. Even Bolton beats school

keep us posted dfinn, mt slow might be the call

frontmatter: i don't think this is breaking any unwritten rules, as anyone who doesn't already know about it wouldn't find it with this info.

FYI: For those who might venture into the hellbrook tomorrow at Stowe, please be careful. I did a recon run today to see what we'd be dealing with, and if/where the brook had broken through since the last rain event. the top section is OK, but once you get down to the choke and the main river bed skiing, it gets pretty scary in there. alot of creaking and cracking ice, and just flat out holes down to rock and running water on the backside of some of the terrain in there. i imagine whatever snow falls tonight will just make some of these holes even more dangerous as it will hide them, but not keep you from falling in. good luck harvesting the fresh though boys and girls!

**skiingsamurai** · 02-26-2008, 07:37 PM

i dont mean to trash bolton. its just not my favorite place to ski

**jtran10** · 02-26-2008, 07:49 PM

Is anyone gonna be at stowe beyond noonish tomorrow? If so let me know, I want someone to ski with in the afternoon.

It's still snowing here but it's changed to a heavy, wet snow. Almost feels like it's on the verge of changing to rain. I'm 45 minutes south of mt snow. I'll be at MRG wed/thurs.

**fatman** · 02-26-2008, 07:56 PM

I just got in from plowing and it is coming down heavy north of WRJ, still nice and fluffy. Where to go, oh where to go?

**Some Douche** · 02-26-2008, 08:16 PM

^^Burke would be a short ride for you and one of the maps showed them being in a 16'+ bubble.

**macdadmorgan** · 02-27-2008, 02:42 AM

Up nice nice and early, dreamed of skiing all night, heading north to get some gnar

**skiingsamurai** · 02-27-2008, 04:45 AM

ill be back in 6 hrs. report then

I was hoping my exam in Concord would be cancelled, but it wasn't. Burke tomorrow. Have a good day everybody.

**laseranimal** · 02-27-2008, 05:30 AM

looks like we only got 3" here in Troy

schools not canceled, I'm stuck working

**scarlet begonias** · 02-27-2008, 06:15 AM

In line at Magic 1st chair with Thin Cover and Tree Well Dweller. I'll be on Bro's with purple pants. They'll be rocking Pow Pluses and Legend 8000's.

cough cough, I think I feel a personal day coming on.

**uppernotmaster** · 02-27-2008, 07:31 AM

^Leave me something!!! Pretty please with sugar on top? 1st powder day I’ve missed in 2 years,…….i’m so ashamed.

I might just make it for the 3pm-4 session if you guys have any legs left.

**uppernotmaster** · 02-27-2008, 08:32 AM

Or better yet, the 1-4pm session. Just got clearance Clarence. I won’t entirely miss this one. I’m off in a few.

See you boys & girl in a bit.

**DaveTV** · 02-27-2008, 08:40 AM

Just got off the phone with our firewood guy in the MWV - he's claiming TWO FEET and still coming down..

Could be exaggerated a bit, but sounds like a healthy dump regardless, more coming later with the cold front rolling in, then a 'clipper Friday night

since ya said WOOD, I've got big wood for the next session

Looks like a day trip to Sunday River 2/28
who's IN ?

**Beast_Coast** · 02-27-2008, 02:17 PM

It looks like the southern VT mountains got more than the north

Weather.com is reporting that Okemo got a foot, while Stowe got 8-10

interesting

**grubbers** · 02-27-2008, 02:22 PM

stowe today = good
riding on a strained achilles tendon = not so good

probably not going to get back out there for a while. but then again, there doesn't seem like there will be many more powder days this season anyways.
