    In other news, we be pruning. Today was a beautiful day for forest management in the Hinterlands, so we took a hike into the backbush armed with saws, axes and other implements of destruction. With great care and a fair bit of effort, we realigned our access route, created a new LZ for Bonk Hill and developed a new trail pod at Bonk that we are calling The South Bowl (until a better name comes up). Skiing this area will have to wait for some significant snowfall as there are few strategically placed lumps of granite to cover up. Following that effort, we opened up a new connector trail over to the Jackrabbit Trail and the bottom of Secret Hill, featuring a number of old-school blazes made with an axe. We like to think that Jackrabbit would have been pleased. We didn't do too much work at Secret Hill, but I did chop down one offending tree and we developed our master plan for the future development of Skier's Left.

    Ironically, this image shows me dragging brush that we cut several years ago and stashed in a place that we now realized was a nice little chute. Note rocks on looker's left. This zone needs snow. Bring on the lake effect.

    Seems like food workers always have a problem with people of money. He should just drop the fries and watch those burgers closely.

    Good for Benny setting up a mid-week Maggot ski day, who's in?

    I got my race package last week, pass, 2 pins and an unrestricted ticket for $75, how can you go wrong, $20 extra for the K1 parking. Should be a good time #flaskofrye



    Snow melted out to mid Spillsville during the warmup, a dusting yesterday and again this morning brings the line down to the top of Steins. Warmup this week will push it well up the hill
    Cell pic Friday of some blowing. The guns were off yesterday morning when I got up.




    Riding is going to be awesome this week!

    Well, if you enjoy hiking on a wooden staircase back and forth to the gondola, then, yeah, sure, I guess.

    Looks like they'll have a snowmaking window if you just want to crank out a few turns.

    Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

    I have a certain line for a four hour drive. That's not it. Hope Gore goes on line soon.

    Anyone interested in skiing Killington on Saturday? I've got a 2fer to burn and need to be up there for a meeting at noon. I figure getting in a half day beforehand would be fun.

    I'll be at the premier in NYC with the wife. Gotta love that $15 processing fee. What time will the film actually start? Like 8:30/9ish?

    Yeh the processing fee is fucking bullshit. That's like 3 beers (or maybe 1.5 in NYC). Pretty sure I did all the processing of my e-ticket.....

    Believe it's doors @ 7:30 and Show at 8:00.
