EAST COAST ROLL CALL - Turn it up to 11

[DoWork]

Hey Binky can you do me a flavor and xpost the video of the sled coming down the tube park I posted on my fb? I’m several adult beverages deep post insane weekend and my frazzled brain can’t manage.

I heard from friends in two different groups that there was a lot of avalanche activity in the northern greens today, both natural and skier triggered. Apparently someone took a ride but ended up not injured or buried thankfully, from the sound of it he was a very lucky man. Stay safe out there!

My stoke contribution from some dreamy lower angle glades. Everyone must have been clogging up the lifts because it was almost deserted out there.

Just read one of the reports, definitely a good reminder to be aware on the steeps. Per the first hand report 1'-2' slab that slid 1,300 vert and ended in a 4'-6' debris pile.

I SPY a moving skier

Oh my goodness, the twig/trunk stoke is off the charts.

Strong work, all.

In response to said shrubbery stoke, here are a couple shots from my trip to WA a couple weeks ago. Timed a storm cycle just right to nail some deep turns.

They suffer from a distinct lack of vegetation, however. Weak sauce, I know.

Nice ^^^ but you need to get deeper

The trees at (near) Plattekill were skiing extremely well today. Surprising 4 days after the storm. The snow in the woods was super consistent and not danger of getting bogged down. Never hit bottom all day.

It seems the only real rule at Plattekill is follow Chris or Riley.

Did the Plattekill version of the "dip" all day long.

Judging from Pics and comments, it looks like they were in Blue Ice Gulley. From the choke point up, the gulley is usually snow covering ice, no surprise someone kicked off something.

Looks like a bust tomorrow, should be working.

Thursday is the day. Less wind and all those snow showers should pile up by then. Already took the day off.

Had some Type II fun up on Agiocochook (Mt Washington) yesterday after a day at the Randolph glades with the BC festival. Definitely scary mid of travelers... Dad with ten year old asking if gulf of slides would be good, I think generally wasn't aware Avi reports exist. Strongly encouraged them (pretty please??) To just ski the trail. Up higher two dudes from Gloucester without any Avi gear wanted to center punch it up the main gully. Tried to encourage them against it but once they were set on it I had to bail. Felt a bit sick watching them carry on.



Ultimately ended up taking on some bushwhacking hell to stay in the thick trees and steep skintrack on a ridge to stay away from the dangerz. Plenty of windslab all over the place, some small cracks and propogation jumping on little loaded sections 38 degrees or steeper.





Found a flatter and tighter "line" with plenty of anchors. About a dozen fun turns then switch back to split board mode to go downhill with skins on through the schwack. Was chuckling as it was definitely a "skis are a better tool for this kind of 'skiing' day".

More snow this week! Bring it!!

Agiocochook, LOL - Shawmut looks to be taking this one on the chin

Well that might reflect negatively on the Mt. Washington backcountry festival.

WTF, I thought the whole point of the BC fest was to introduce and celebrate wise BC decisions.

Course participants from the Mt Washington Backcountry Ski Festival were not involved in the avalanche incidents on the mountain this past weekend. Yes, I think it's safe to say that the participants came away from from their courses as more informed backcountry users, thanks to the experienced guides.

Wow we're getting spoiled when 8-12" is considered a bust!

Is it the fb groups that are drawing people up there with absolutely no clue?
