NE Roll Call 18/19

[Goniff]

Consensus of the K crew is that Wednesday at Bush was the best spring skiing day of the season, unlikely to be beaten this season, Bush bumps way better than K's, and Saturday at K was the worst day of the season (some said in many seasons). It was so bad, we were laughing in between the tears. Fortunately, today tuned out to be another beaut. My toasted knees are evidence that there was way more sun than forecast.

Peruvian stylin' the teleturns.

Glad you enjoyed Wednesdays bumps because as of the 3pm update HG is closed for the season and VH only now. That and only Spillsville was left for natural snow bumps today.

[Goniff]

^^Timing is key in this activity. I was on the verge of a panic attack seeing all the damage on Saturday until I looked over at SS Glacier promising many soft bumps deep into May.

[biggins]

^^^Truth. Today was reassuring for sure.

Travelled east in search of bigger lines and soft snow. Found both!



Booting the Spur.







Lots of this today! Skis on all the way to the road but I imagine that will be ending in the coming days.

Bonus warm sunny day on the hill!

Corny goodness




1 1/4" is about perfect

Damn, I don't tour, but I thought I was in good shape. Quite sure I couldn't haul that load up the mountain. WTF??

Pretty sure Nick got some skis recently from BD so his set up should be getting lighter soon.

Yeah, my partner carries a lot of gear. He boots faster than me with considerably less in my pack and a lighter touring rig though so I can’t really criticize. To each their own I guess!

Tuesday PM at Killington, if anyone will be around. Weather doesn't look too bad.

It was good up there today, really good this morning. Love skiing with gonnif and the kzoners. Middle Ovation was pick of the day. Left knee flamed out on me, happens every spring, the combo of ski/ride is hard on my old man benders. Gonna take a few days off.
Party On

As I thought, the woods are bone dry, get some!

[Goniff]

Another beaut day. Still plenty of snow on Killington Peak. Hiked up to the peak, skied Catwalk and Dipper. Good skiing with Buttah. K crew skiing Jay tomorrow.

Good time skiing with Buckethead at K yesterday...probably saw a few of you guys out there but wasn't asked for change...turned out to be a beautiful day.

[FussyDutchman]

Multi-season stoke is strong, serious props to powbmps for the effort! I see what you mean on mtb trail blowouts vtf.

Wish I could venture north today, should be a fantastic day Goniff.

That looks like a fun mini-golf section on a pow day.
What hill is that?

Mont Orford. I tend to only get out there in the spring, but theRudeness gets after it a lot in the winter and reports that it's way fun.

Somebody went for an icy swim below the icefall? Self extracted. Lucky.

Any thoughts on whether or not wildcat will open back up this weekend? I know I should be boycotting them so asking for a friend...

It looked grim while driving by Sunday but I’ve seen ski areas piece together less for opening (albeit not this late in the season).
