    Hit the Catskills yesterday for some surprisingly fun turns... There was just enough coverage for some trail-blazing with rock skis on...

    Strong start to the winter for sure.

    Bump for Magic Mountain, when conditions ripen. Looks shite today:

    "Closed Christmas Day
    Due to last nights wind and rain we are forced to close today and wait for colder temperatures to return before we can get back out on the mountain and groom in preparation for opening on Friday."

A buddy of mine from college, his family has a house up in rutland, VT that we use to use for weekend trips and the occasional beer in the city. chime in and let me know who's where and what your go to mtn is on the east coast.
    Im here Im here!!! I had my official maggot inanition today, it hurt!!

    Sad for them. I'd love to ski Magic when they've got some cover. I'm eyeing MRG right now which is looking pretty good.

    Mt. Snow Sunday

    I'm headed up to Mt. Snow on the Emilios bus on Sunday. They've got a lot of the mountain open, looks like, and I'll try to take advantage of "the woods never close" policy. Anyone?

    Dudley I'd go but funds are tight right now. Need to find some gainful employment before I start taking trips again.

    Looking to head up to Jay or Smuggs sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. Self employed so I can go pretty much at my leisure... I'm thinking 3-4 days. Best of all, I have a stack of buy-1-get-1-free lift tix to Jay, i.e. ski for 1/2 price. Something like $32 I think.

    Got room in the car too... will have even more room if I decide to spring for roof racks this week.

    Anyone have a lead on real cheap lodging? I'm happy to crash on a couch/floor/garage/whatever.

    Grampa Grunts in Montgomery Center. About 10 minutes from Jay. Dirty, fun, and cheap. I haven't been in a couple years but I think it was like $35/night last time plus $7 for the optional breakfast, which is well worth it BTW.

    Grunt's is a NE classic. The breakfast is amazing. Prices are right around $35/night.

    i was about to ask how it was before i finished that sentence, and then thought duh, icy.

    Anyways specifically, can you get in the woods? Do you think Belleayre / Plat would be a much better time right now? Plattekill sent me a text of a ten inch storm and then a 12 inch storm in the past week, not sure if huntah ever gets as much.....i just wanna ski i guess.

    I'll be out of town after this weekend until the beginning of Feb. I'm self employed too, so pretty flexible. Would definitely chip in for gas and share a room to save $$. Would love to ski Jay..

    I was gonna do Hunter in the morning actually, but I got hit with some unexpected and very large bills today, so I decided to pass... not worth $50 to ski on bullet ice.

    As far as dates for Jay.... pretty much whenever. Any time from about Jan 24th onwards is good for me. I can probably find 3-4 free days pretty much any time in Feb also... definitely want to avoid President's Week though. Thanks for the heads up on Grunt's, BTW. I'll look into it tomorrow.

    I'm in Teaneck, NJ... about 8 minutes from the GWB. If anybody wants to suggest some dates to look at for Jay, I'm all ears. Just got some new Punisher 182's (thank you Tramdock!) that I'm itching to try out.

    Hunter's got less than 10 in the last couple of weeks.

    You can get into the woods at Hunter from the peak by going towards hunter west and continuing out the sevice road/hiking trails. I've never tried this. Could see the cover on opposing mountains and there is snow all the way down, but I dipped into the woods between trails at Hunter yesterday and it was pretty bad.

    Belleayre gets a lot more natural snow than Hunter for some reason. You can tour from the top by following the road from the peak that heads west along the ridge. I did this once last year. The snow was firm, but fully covered in March. The nice thing about Belleayre is they have a gladed area higher up and west of the resort called Cathedral Glen which is never open, but they cleared of shrubs years ago and is skiable. The big hangup with trying to tour anywhere off of hiking trails in the Catskills (besides lack of snow) is the dense brush. You can ski all the way down to the lake from the Cathedral Glen area.

    There's a pretty cheap ski bus to Belleayre run by Adirondak Trailways that leaves every day from Port Authority.

    anyone know why the fuck plattekill was closed yesterday? bullshit. heard alot about this mtn, used the inauguration excuse to cut work and then its closed. beat.
    luckily, belleayre was open and empty and DEEEEEP!!! knee high in some places. the trees were great! cathedral glen (mentioned above) was excellent and we were the only ones in there. screw hunter. bellayre beats it with terrain alone. there were drops and excellent glades everywhere. if any of you can get to it before the weekend you are in for a treat. snow was freshly soft...def the east coast version of utah fluff. havent seen snow like that here in a long time...nor so much of it.
    bonus points: my buddy and i both used our expired college ids for $40 lift. his is over 3 years old!

    disclosure: never been to platt or bell before. but very happy with the results.
    okemo this weekend.
