EAST COAST ROLL CALL - Turn it up to 11

[danmelon]

I heard complaints of next weeks forecast, but just finally looked. Wow.

If it helps any tk tries to gloss over the long term. But yeah.

[Bottleman]

Time to bring some sanity back to this thread.

[Bottleman]

And .... we have a strong variation on the Oklahoma Suitcase.

That's the Texas Handbag

They seem to be closely related. Kissing cousins, perhaps.

[Bottleman]

The Bottlewoman is going with “the Paramus Purse”

Texas Handbag...Pretty sure I saw those cats at the Beacon in '89

Supportive crust with a few inches of fresh and plenty of sunshine along the spine made for an extremely enjoyable day in the woods. It might only be better tomorrow. I had forgot what it feels like to be optimistic

Last home game for the ice cats tonight

[Bottleman]

If we must go with the state of Tejas I much prefer the "Houston Handbag." Has a better ring to it

Paging VTF, no update/pics on the stop sign down and tracks in the ditch at the bottom of the Mellen road? Slacking on the German Flats news!

Yea, I saw that and thought about turning around to grab a shot, must have happened after 4:20 or so yesterday after I drove by. The inch of wet snow was causing trouble on the Sugar Run hill as well. One of the large CCTA buses was stuck 2/3 of the way up blocking the uphill lane. I am sure this caused mayhem when the first all-season car arrived. No time to pull out the phone for a pic as the WRX behind was crowding me.
Snow falling now so maybe I'll look for kooks in the morning.

Shitty condition at Jay but had a great time with FD and shared lots of laughters.
Thanks, TGR!

Nah nah nah nah. Hey hey hey. Good by. http://f1.weather.gov/MapClick.php?l...2#.WolyqqinHIU

That is a bleak forecast. Time to start getting the bikes ready.

Nice article on the Thunderbolt ski race and trail: https://www.skiracing.com/premium/th...a-nearly-lost1

You entering? Bring some beers.

By the time that article was published, I'd already been planning to move the race to Berkshire East and had even started flagging the course, and the next morning I officially cancelled the permit with the state reservation.

Early bird gets the worm this morning. Bush woods skiing very nice before they’re all tracked out.

Dust. On. Crust. #stillfun

5 spots available in the Mine Madeleine hut

From March 31, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. to April 8, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.

As of today it would be $234 USD each (+ baggage transport if you're not hauling a pulk)

I won't be going this year due to the arrival of young shredder.

ml242, dan_melon and some other non-mags are going

pm for details!

edit: for those that don't know, this hut is the shangri-la. electricity, fridge, stove, hot shower. ski-in, skin-out

Quoting because this is a worthy adventure, and something good to look forward to despite the Wx. Would be great to link up with some mags irl for this!

[ex-powderbroker]

true, buttah come up and take some laps!



skiing was fun today. all afternoon, nothing but blue skies. #lowexpectations

[Boreas]

Conditions were pretty decent yesterday and marginally better this morning.

[crank54]

Anyone up for a tour tomorrow? Really no idea what conditions are these days, but itching to get out and skin around.

[Bottleman]

Chose day 50 (!) for my biggest fall of the year. On the God damn DECK. Feet went right out from under me, fell backwards and whacked the back of my head on a picnic bench on the way to ground. That helmet saved me from some serious, serious shit. #notapromove

[nutmegchoi]

Long weekend can do a lot of damage on us.
Glad your helmet did it’s work, Bottleman.

I've been enjoying the last days of this year's winter before it gives up the ghost next week. Sugarloaf/USA skied very well today despite the wind holds; there were many nice moguls and even the icy runs had nice piles of powder scattered across them. I always love it when the pistes are consistent enough to carve fast on but have enough bumps to unexpectedly launch you into the air at any moment. Now that my Volkl Bridges are mounted I have been trying to learn trick skiing in the snowboard park, but so far I can only do the "epic jump overshoot as a result of taking speed advice from someone half your weight" stunt.

We going to see you on Red tomorrow?

Perfect day for a tour up to the radar base.
