Any mags interested in meeting up at Gore tomorrow or Sunday?

Ugh, I normally would be, but heading down to Brooklyn tonight. Hit me up next time.

Went to Magic today, place was fucking crawling with maggots. Report to come later. Today was my first time there.. if you haven't been, GO. Identical to Timberline, WV except bigger. Love it. Needs a good storm.

'Twas nice to meet you fellas.

[Speedfreak]

Heading to Magic tomorrow AM, anyone else gonna be there? Shoot me a PM, or find me on the hill. Blue jacket, white helmet, Coreupt Candide Pow skis.

I'll be there Saturday if you're still around. I look like I'm covered in unicorn vomit -- you really can't miss the jacket. Probably skiing on Worth Magics (review coming next week - the short review: I wasn't expecting them to, but they really kick ass all over the hill).

[DRZ1050i]

Dowork and Peruvian,

Didn't see either one of you fine gentlemen. Way to not say hi you fucking sacks of shit. Go fuck yourselves.

Nah, I wish man.. have fun! The West side of the hill was all closed today, they're opening it tomorrow. Getamped was there today on his Worths, definitely wasn't having any problems. I think his were the Daily Breads? But whatevs.

Probably skiing on Worth Magics (review coming next week - the short review: I wasn't expecting them to, but they really kick ass all over the hill).

Here's my short-review of Magic from a weekend at Magic:

Initial impression: holy carp these things are light. Like: really light...Sth14 attached @ 2 back. Not sure about the wolf graphic (are there wolves in VT), but they definitely are pretty. Weird shape...the shape looks a bit weirder in person.

But how do these weird, light, wolf skis ski? (Note1: I am a giant...so unless you're a large man: YMMV. Note2: only the east side was open, so it was all low angle stuff)

Sunday: warm, bumpy, thin cover: loved them...boing, boing, boing...over and around the bumps...small airs...everything = easy peasey. Over grass, sticks, a rock or two: damages = two black smudges on base. Typical Praxis = BOMBER.

Monday: cold as heck. Stuck on groomers. Still had funnerz! Definitely not race skis, but were willing to carve w/o much effort. Definitely not bad for its size. Also: groomers = speed...these had no problem going at speed.

Can't wait to see how they'll do in Twilight Zone w/ some new snow.

So far, I love these skis. Pretty impressive to handle almost opposite conditions so well. Then again, I stink, so you pros may not like them.

Thanks Smarty! And while there may not be wolves in VT just yet (they are heading this way....soon enough!), there is a Wulf-man who was the initial inspiration for this project. The howler is my shout-out to him....

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Fuck, why do I even look at this thread? ....this pic makes me physically ill, like watching an Ex you never got over making out with some dude....which aslo makes me want to get drunk :-)

I've got a friend who's yet to get out this season trying to talk me into going up there Sunday but I'm on the fence at this point...probably better conditions than smuggs but tough to stomach paying, even with a 2fer.

Will give you a shout if that's where we end up.

Yep, pretty high mag to general population ratio. Maybe 6-7 people on the slopes today + a couple of patrollers, so the 3 of us had a private resort for the day. Great running into you (not literally!) and getting some good runs in. You definitely need to come back when the rest of the mountain is in play.

[GOB_Bluth]

Long time lurker. Met up with DRZ today at Magic. Love that place. West side closing was tough, but east side skied soft. Even the non groomed stuff down low has a buttery consistency. Pretty sure I skied a few runs w getamped as well. Apologies if it was someone else, still learning over here.

[icelanticskier]

Was all for it, but... Looking kinda windy now. 60-70 with higher gusts.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using TGR Forums

think i'm going for it. will be chilly/breezy, but a lot warmer than sitting on a chair. steeps below the ridge outta the wind could be a nice option at least. toe/hand warmers fer sure.

nice gaspe surf stoke rudy. bout as crowded as maine

[DoWork]

I can't believe you let him talk to you that way.

It was just so weird I figured he was either a mongoloid or making a shitty joke. I wasn't even there today lol

In any case it's the weekend and I'm not sober. Who cares

[retirwntm]

I love the GOB_bluth handle. It's not a trick. It's an illusion.

[JayPowHound]

Just decided on a late-night whim to pull some old skinnies out of the corner and mount 'em up for teh slayage of teh firm 'n fast.

Problem is, I can't decide what to put on 'em...




(and yes, I know my bench and wall are a mess.. a wider workbench and more pegboard are in the works and it promises enough storage to disperse the clutter... I'll be sure to update the appropriate thread when it happens )

At one time in my distant past, I was somewhat of a VT wildlife scientist. I saw a wolf on Mount Hunger Road in Barnard in 1982. There was no doubt in my mind based on the size, head shape, etc. I was very close to the animal...like 10 feet away but in my car.

Well they are North of us so it makes sense that one ranges down once in a while.

Think the restaurant I ate at last night gave me bad food. No skiing today.

My neighbor swears he saw one a few years ago on 116 in Starksboro and is positive it wasn't just a large coyote. I probably wouldn't have much confidence in his conviction but he did live in MT for 15+ years after college and worked in forestry so he's seen a wolf or two in his day.

They was a confimed kill in VT in 06. A farmer shot one, thought it was a cayote but realized it wasn't and the state confirmed an Eastern Wolf, but probably bred in a doestic situation. There is a confirmed pack in Southern QC though. http://www.timesargus.com/apps/pbcs....WS01/710100376

[therudeness]

thanks for all the ADK tips guys!

i saw a wolf 2 years ago outside of montreal, probably only 60 kms north of the VT border

[Vt-Freeheel]

Sunny and cold this AM. Up to 8` bob though still -10` summit.

The cold has iced the streams over and with some bonding snow the BC travel/skiing will benefit. There will be some crazy hollow areas under some ice. The ice damming here created pools 4+ feet deep on a stream where the water is commonly 10" deep.



The skiing was not to bad yesterday with 8% packed powder, 11% snowmaking guns, 20% groomer till ice pellets, 40% windswept moon surface,10% bare ground, 7% water ice, 4% rocks.
Should have got up high before the clouds started moving in.
