    Finding Nemo (A photo TR)

    When did they start naming snow storms? Nemo was a stressful one to follow, but delivered in the end. Spent the last two days chasing the blowing snow, trying to avoid the crowds, and trying to ride lines that had some sort of base under what just fell. Could still use a lot of snow in Vermont right now since many aspects were pretty much bare ground before Nemo. We lucked out with no serious shots to the boards or skis, but I did have an LT pin break for my splitboard bindings on top of a mountain. Was able to rig one up using a wire frame from a BD Outlaw pack, it worked pretty well.

    Ready for the next storm, bring it!!

    Glad to see things are returning back to business as usual up there in VT.

    How did you break the LT pin? Any obvious signs of wear before it happened? Now I'm a bit worried about mine.

    Don't recall much wear, but I've been touring a lot this season. Will need to get a spare to keep in my pack, but it's a little scary. I just looked down and noticed it. Broke where the hole is for the leash. I was stopped when I noticed, thankfully it didn't happen while charging something.

    Nice to be back in the pow for a few runs. I'm guessing that we are back to bare bones and some scraps after yesterday's shit show. Sure glad all the ptex and edge cameback, even more that the crew made it back safe. Mine field

    Nice shots Chris, the middle elevation stuff was $$$$, but still lacking base down low. Great reason for BIG skis for maximum flotation above the chocolate chips.
