The wind wiped most of the tracks clean today in one of my favorite zones. You could not have paid me the ride a lift today.

Non-mag friend making it look deep! Which it was.

The slides were deep today. But also, absolutely raped and pillaged. They started out with avy gear required, someone got hurt, which took all of the 6 patrol from the summit. And it turned into an insane free for all. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I talked to my one patrol buddy at the bottom before the they shut it down, he said it “was a fucking terrible day”. I’ve never seen anyone sledded out of there before. Saw 2 today. Carnage everywhere.

My 12 year absolutely loved it and crushed it. That’s all that matters. Good times

Looks prime. You going again tomorrow?

Not sure yet. Definitely Monday morning. Might do Gore tomorrow or hit some backcountry and take a break from the lifts

Although, I could’ve lapped cloudspin for days.... doesn’t get much better than that

With the crush of folks at K yesterday afternoon and the creeping traffic up route 4, I have to imagine some dumb, dumb shit is gonna go down this weekend in northern NE.

Over/under on 3 "backcountry" rescues this weekend?

Oof. I hope not.

On a positive note- the cold and wind is moving cold smoke around nicely in my neck of the woods. Ullr be praised.

Looks like there has been 10 [ten] times as many so far.

STOWE, Vt. A warning for those thinking about enjoying the mountains this weekend.

Safety officials say skiing or hiking could trigger an avalanche. Vermont search and rescue says they've received over 30 calls of people unable to get out of the woods on their own this past week. They urge skiers and hikers to have a planned route and know the territory. They say if you choose to go out this weekend, stick to marked trails on ski mountains, rather than exploring the back country.

“We're hoping that at least through this weekend and until weather conditions create more stable snow pack that people should really be staying out of those steeper areas,” said Vermont Search and Rescue Coordinator, Neil Van Dyke.

Van Dyke says to always have avalanche awareness in the back of your mind, and to carry the proper equipment when you head outdoors.

If you think calling me a bitch will get me to ski and drink beer at Kmart this spring then you’d be right.

Chatting with a real estate buddy at his office in Waitsfield and two ambulances went by heading in the mountains direction, including one from Barre meaning two of three local ones were already out.

That’s not entirely true, Valley ambulances do not have paramedics, Barre does. Often times Barre will be called in to assist on a call if it appears heightened care will be needed. I’d wager to guess Barre makes a run through the valley almost weekly perhaps more, but it has nothing to do with how busy rescuers are in the valley.

Very solid day with no lines at mt. Ellen, although the wife tried to spoil some prime twig shots.

After 30 calls, give Neil some slack. He’s clearly overwhelmed.

I bought a pound of thick sliced bacon this morning and feel well prepared.

[biggins]

Good lord. I was genuinely hoping to be wrong there, in spite of my obvious cynicism. Guess a Magnum 44 at the resort just isn't enough to fight off wolves anymore. Be safe y'all.

Mmmmmm. . . .
Avalanche bacon

The sheer scale of what's happening in VT right now cannot be overlooked

[2ski2fish4ever]

well i was paid to ski yesterday,and had a great time doing so.spent most of the day skiing soft bumps all over the mountain.the wood were for the most part skied out

[Vt-Freeheel]

EW don't get lost in those bergschrund.


Looks dead but beautiful on the hill this AM, maybe the -6` summit temp has something to do with that.

[FlimFlam]

YES!!! Nice pics T!
Hopefully more love coming this week.
Might be time to visit a big hearted lion for the skin man!
Cheers to deep march turns boys!

Had the best XC ski day of my life Saturday.

Val D is epic in winter and summer. The black trails were super challenging. Thigh burning uphills with endless herringbones and crazy downhills rocketing around turns at ludicrous speed. The place was emptying out when i got there at 2:30 and I skied till 7 with a new lady friend that's keeping me fit, basically the last car in the lot before getting the best poutine in QC at mouton noir. I love checking out the cliffs in the winter, this is the aiguille of mont condor, it's loaded up with spicy 10's, trad and sport.

Also, I can't plate my car in Quebecistan so I'm going to list it on BTV and Plattsburgh cl for 4500. If anyone wants it on this thread, I'd make a much better deal to a mag. I freaking love this car and it has been virtually problem free but I can't keep it.









you guys represented hardcore this storm cycle, thank you for the stokealanche on the days i couldn’t get out and for the maggot company when i did.

[CantDog]

Good stuff ml! The skate skiing has been great after it was nonexistent for a while. Weston was great this morning, a reasonable stand in for downhill.
