East Coast Roll Call 6.0 Get Your Stoke On!

[lynchdogger]

the runs on mansfield were great this morning. Last few runs of the morning session we did some poking around in the woods and no real issues up high but another half foot would be good down lower.
watched two dudes who almost come to blows over 1st or 2nd chair, wtf

Just another day at Stowe. Hate the vibe up there - met some serious a-holes! The biggest ones always seem to be from Stowe. But love your bc.

[therudeness]

been to stowe a few times and met some cool folks for sure.. but not like smuggs where you meet a guy on the lift and then he proceeds to show you stash after stash after stash...!

storm lookin' great all around.. Ullr providing the goods... FCKN A!

Just got in from the local hill (its 9 minutes door-to-lifts) here in the Greater Toronto Area. That's right, bitches, 240' of pure pleasure!!

Anyway great morning - 8-10", nobody there save for a few park rats, and lap after lap on our own private runs. People starting to show up at 11 so we left, plus I'm "working from home" today so I gotta at least get something done.

Tried to take a photo for you guys, but all I got was a dreaded "Change the battery pack" message. Oh well!

Still puking here - and historically whatever I get, you all get. So hunker down boys, this storm delivers!!! YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!

[icelanticskier]

Skiing, in Toronto? You poor SOB. To add insult to injury you're even on the wrong side of the lake for snow... but at least the beer is better there.

I live in Burlington. Don't sell me short.

Low angle woods are skiing nice at the mall.

Hey, just so you know, we're not ALL assholes up here, the locals anyway. When I worked there, guaranteed one or two fights a year in the liftline; total bs!

[I've seen black diamonds!]

Is it 1985 again? We're in the middle of a golden age for beer!

[biggins]

Buttah- what time are you going to the hill?

It is what it is, I guess.

I go west to the mountains, I feel right. I go east to the mountains, I feel right. I go south to the beaches, I feel right. I come home, I feel out of place.

I do have a job that gives me 5 weeks vacation every year and pays well, and a cool wife who understands my need to ski. So don't cry for me Argentina. I take what I can get - makes me appreciate it more I suppose. One day I'll get this all straigtened out, one day...

Oh and I make my own beer! But the beer is nowhere near as good around here as it is in VT - that shit is liquid GOLD! edit: ^^Hah! that guy is what I'm talking about!

[laseranimal]

Snowing in lake placid now. Can't decide whether to hit the face or drive down to magic

[rcamp]

^^^ha, I was thinking of leaving and heading up to Magic myself. They just sent a tweet about light snow at the moment. Stowe, Smuggs doesn't look bad.

[cmurda646]

Here's a little edit from SuperBowl Stowe Weekend. The #waveofjoy that came in Sunday nite certainly did make for a great pow day Monday, check it out here. Hope everyone gets some of Nemo this weekend, of course this storm comes the weekend I head out to Colorado for a week.

Soo windy at the top of the double. 50+mph

[akahn]

Okay, my folks aren't coming out tomorrow cause they don't wanna drive in this. Gonna ski with them on Sunday instead.

Recruited two friends to ski with tomorrow but they're beginners -- will they be able to have a good time at Magic or will it be too challenging for them? They'll be renting gear (1 skis, 1 snowboards). We'd go to Berkshire East if Magic doesn't make sense. I think they're getting a lot of snow too, and I like the mountain, but it's smaller than Magic.

If we do Magic, is it easier to take 30 out of Brattleboro or go further north on 91 to cut over west on 121 or something? No idea how the roads will be tomorrow at 7am…

Thanks!

What ever you do, don't go to smuggs! Super slow double chairs, huge lines, crappy facilities, too far to drive and no good way to get there and much more snow over at $teaux...that's where I'd go if I were you .

Do Magic, BEast is just meh. They'll be fine there, just don't go following tracks or their Pizza will be toast.

Also in shit weather just take 91 to exit 6, take a left onto 11 and drive strait until you see magic on your left. Always the least sketchy way in bad weather. Just don't ever speed in Chester.

Why would two Burton employees try to fight one another?

[akokskis]

Could it be........? A real live......... bottledood sighting?
I thought that guy just sat around with snippy comments on the computer...

[gpcharles]

idk, but the word was out around the mountain about the fight. they almost got their passes removed.

the best part is the two guys know each other, ski together, and are kinda buds...

xD

Thanks! Hopefully I can meet up with some of y'all and get shown around. I've only skied Magic once and that was a ~3 years ago.

Crazy, I never experienced anything like that in 4 years of riding there. The 1st chair rush was always a bit of a clusterfuck, but it never came to blows.


And for the record, I don't actually know if they were Burton employees.
