EAST COAST ROLL CALL #8 14/15 A NEW HOPE

[2ski2fish4ever]

looks like a good week for iceboaters,winds from 25 to 55 mph all week

[JerseyDave]

Beach Day. Great crew. Many laps. Supreme snow quality.

Roommate put a lot of work into this jib he only hit once. The sound he makes says it all...



Sorry for the vertical filming; beginner smartphoner. Also find this short shitty video to be great contrast to the genuine stoke being posted.

Haha yeah! Fuckin awesome man! Just keep hittin that thing all day (I know I would). I'm sure it will get good to you guys at some point... Ride that wall!

Is the radar picking up static or something or is Lyon Mountain getting feet of snow right now?

Check out the blue dot to the west of Champlain.

7.5` bob calm and clear with a pleasant sunrise on tap. An inversion shows summit temps of 22` here and 14` on George, don't let that -10` - 20` in the pit of the valley keep you off the snow as this will be the warmest ski day for the next week.

Crazy temps this morning. I left BoM at 0530 and it was -6. Down in L-derry it was -11. At Bromley, it was +12...a 23 degree rise in about 500 vert.

Maggots... Hickory is going to spin em on Saturday. There was some snow earlier this week (4"?) and it looks like she's getting some radar love tonight. I may day trip it from an insane distance or swing it in some other way. Would love to meet up with GA and other mags. As is our way at Gore, I'm in black.

[therudeness]

this new snow is that styrofoam kind, pretty dense. was puking nicely for a while but let up now



we've got an EC streak goin on!

[BassBone]

One of my friends, raised on ice coast groomers, tries to make sense of this backyard setup.



The construction crew has some fun.

It almost always does that. Idk if it's signal or noise though.... Go find out

23.5` bob, already dropped a couple of degrees this AM. Hard to tell how much fell overnight as the wind roared in at 3:10 though it is fairly calm now. Somewhere between 1-2".

Make sure to wear two layers of spandex Sunday and maybe a fur lined cup.

Sunday might give a new meaning to ""Sick Day'' for me.

You also have broken bindings although that won't make you stand out at Hickory

Headed to Magic today and then I'm going to venture to Hickory tomorrow. Hard to know what to expect (other than the normal rocks, stumps, logs, trees and steeps) since it's the first day they've opened the top of the mountain.

[powdergibbs]

One last bit-o-stoke before the next storm....

A broken hand wont break my will. Gonna be runs like these for a bit. Surgery next Friday. See everyone this spring. Keep the stoke machine primed.

[cat in january]

Wow that is a bummer. Did it happen a couple weekends ago when I saw you up on George?

Are you out for Baxter at the end of March? Think we are sharing the bunkhouse with your crew.

[PlayItLeo]

3" down here in the Mohawk range and still snowing. Praxis pows making it feel like 6"*

*insert joke here.

ETA: aside from the lifties, I'm literally the only one here. Country club skiing is for the plebs, it's all about having your own private hill!

[BassBone]

Someone jumping off their roof into a snowbank twice. Also found on Reddit, no relation to me.

[Brock Landers]

BD where you skiing this weekend? Thinking of heading up for Saturday maybe Sunday too

[powdergibbs]

Negative Cat. Ironically happened at the Kitty Sunday. Got in a fight with a rock and a few trees. They won. Could have been a lot worse as evidence by the shattered lifeproof case, heavily bruised RS and scratched helmet.

Minor setback. Lady K is still a go unless there's complications. Might even have a soul hike up there Sunday

Looks like I'm skinning laps at the legendary Cat Rock in Weston tomorrow morning. I have to stay close to home and the woods are prime. Next Friday doing a day trip to Cannon if you're interested. Some Fenway people coming.

Magic looks like the place for this weekend...fresh snow on a great base and many mags. Wish I could go.

[radam]

Some of the shenanigans at Magic Wednesday

[strawjack]

^creamy!

[buckethead]

cool - more footage! yes magic would have been a good call ... sigh

here are a couple more from weds, as tracks get filled by current system.




**BREAKING: platts picked up 10" today as of 12:45pm update**

[dark_star]

Hey all, sorry for the spam but I'm hoping one of you mags can help - I'm looking for a great, publication-quality photo of Tucks to go into an article. If anyone has something good and would be OK with it being published (and credited), please PM me, and I can give you more details. Thanks.

EDIT: The photo would ideally show Tucks being crowded as fuck on a typical spring weekend day. Congolines up hills, lunch rocks crowds, kids sitting around drinking beers, smoking medicinal substances, etc - you get the idea.

[BigDaddy]

DS, Does it need to be from this century?



(and I'm sure someone has a much better shot than this... )

[neufox47]

If anyone is planning a purchase from Ragged Mtn in N Conway I have a huge credit the I suddenly have little use for. We can work out some sort of cash for credit deal.
