East MF Coast 19/20.

Thanks for the feedback on those Bottle.

~$80 gets you a new pair of brake baseplates, and a spare when the other side goes.

^^ There's always spare bits and pieces floating around in gear swap too.

The boys in South Burlington are making things right. Brand new pair of mouse traps for the old guy.

Anyone up by Carrabassett Valley Academy help out with facilitating a purchase and ship? Will compensate beer and Bag burger.

I can help, but won't be up that way for a week or so. Paging ticketchecker...

When there is any natural snow, Stratton blows. They till it into oblivion so it always feels like you are skiing “frozen granular” even on the day after the storm.

Since Stratton marked all the woods, they get way too much traffic (lots of shaving snowboarders).

If you want to carve big GS turns, I guess Stratton beats Okemo.

This. Stratton does a good job when conditions are abysmal, but they make the least of it when conditions are optimal by flattening everything. They don't call it Flatten for nothing. Fortunately it is on the Ikon pass and takes an hour off the trip home on a Sunday.

Go away rain,

[JerseyDave]

And.....full reset. Still have some glade work to do anyway...and some black berry cane mitigation out back. Nice afternoon for a paddle.

Radar is just all green yellow red Rasta for NH and VT.
Wind hold at Cannon. Chairs aren't even on the cable.

Damn.

Actually got it worked out this morning, thanks for the offers. Beers on me sometime. At least I can spend $$ to make me feel better on this shitty day.

[Goniff]

Not the holy grail of bindings? Never scene one break like that.

Look turntable...most overrated binder of all time.

The Cat said it wanted to go out, so when the heavier rain stopped we made lemonade for the day




Newly opened Hot Shot had a hard to see gift from the snowmakers, a water ice glaze, so I moved to the cream cheese manky snow on the left and laid some tracks.




As always, some odd balls out there




Met up with MNIAW, Peruvian and his better half/daughter at Red Clover for some tasty beers and Restoration BBQ



Mmmm Reubens




Checked out Brandon Gap around 2:30 37` east side




Decent coverage, should be good to go without further loss and a refresh of fluff




Some runoff




45` on the west side to the top of the pass
Lots of runoff, not looking so good




5/10 - 1 for lift slowing to less than walking speed [fully half of a live Slayer tune on one lap] for groups of mini blazers + 4 for hanging with Mag friends = 8/10

i’ve had beers poured on draft that feel colder than the downpour outside right now.

Of course they are... I like though. My quiver other than a touring and Tele rig are all le pivot. It's only a binding.

[DaveTV]

Look turntable...most trustworthy binder of all time.

Yup, 31` and dropping bob, windholds on Bravo/HG, 3/16" snow/grauple/sleet mix and only Fling, Upper Pushover and First Time groomed.

Hello gang and happy holidays. I have a question to distract ya'll from the rain... Google doesn't know the answer so now I'm here to get it. Years and years ago when NICCACRATES was an American we were heading south from Mount Snow and saw a bunch of old school, frontier-like canvas tents and a cannon I think on the side of the road. So of course we pulled in and found out that it was some kind of historical reenactment thing, I don't really remember and that's not the point. The property it was on was some kind of Polish Club. They had a bar in the lodge house and rooms to rent if you were Polish I think and great food. Help me find where the fuck we were so I can take the Polish chick I'm into there and be a hero. For your service the standard reward will be posted here after she gets loaded up at that Polish bar.

well skiing today turned out to be a pleasant surprise, snow squalls most of the day and lack of people equalled a nice surface all day.

[Diamond Joe]

Anybody gonna be at Sunday River this week?

I'll be up there Mon-Thurs for some early season gnarliness with JONG mag XYJBeaker (and a couple other non-mags for a day here and there). Would love to ski with anybody who happens to be up there. HMU

Same goes for Cannon. Groomers laid it down and it lasted all day.
